Good video. I have aluminum trailer with wood sides to which I have 1 added tool box using u-bolts 2 added d rings to wood floor 3 added spare tire mount You recommend hauling mulch, rocks, dirt in a mesh sided trailer. Finer grained material will fall out so get a harbor freight 19 x 11 tarp to contain the material
Awesome video you have some really good ideas. I dig your trialer it looks nice. Mine is a dual axle 83” wide by 14ft long pipe top utitly trisler. It has a dovetail on the back with a 3 ft two gate. I added a 5,000 lb winch in the box on the front.
I really like your suggestions and I would include a battery powered 1000 pound winch that you can remove when not in use..I am usually alone and the extra help dragging a heavy load works better for myself in preventing injury.
internal tie downs suck and you cant rachet sh8t once the bed is loaded with stuff. I have a similar trailer and its really annoying the lack of places to hook into. Thinking about adding a side rail on the bottom of the frame so I can hook my straps to.
I always loved going to my grandpas land on the St Jo river on the pan handle of Idaho. Logging town with lots of semis and dirt roads and to prevent lots of dust they sprayed motor oil on them. Almost turned them into paved roads. They were awesome. Sadly now use pickle juice and it’s no where near effective. Anywho , to use on my trailer (used motor oil) , would you just paint brush or how would you apply? I know ultimately there are more than one ways to skin a cat but wanted your take. Thank you.
I've used old motor oil, I bought my trailer in 2001 corn pro. Just sold it and the floor was in Great condition. About every couple three years I dumped it on.
I would say, having a 6x6 wood block is essential, an d makes changing a tire that much easier without a jack. Buy a spare battery powered impact gun or get the correct lug wrench for when you have a flat.
Nice Video! Just a comment on the trailer lock…. I had that lock, thieves cut it off without problem and stole my trailer with tractor and multiple attachments. Not wanting to spend the money on a good coupler lock like the Proven Industries I have now cost me thousands of dollars when all was settled.
I always carry one of my two ramps with me and then if I have a flat I do not have to use jack just pull other axle up on ramp and it will lift the one with flat
Thanks. What do you think about adding a winch or come along to the trailer or stored in the utility box? Not a requirement but more of a helpful add on.
I've used old motor oil to seal my decks for years because my decks sit out in the weather a lot. Motor oil soaks in sealing the wood making it outlast the steal.
Really? I used a piece of wood during my last oil change and it got liberaly coated. I wiped it and just threw it to the side as scrap but i thought it went on similar to a stain. So you use used motor oil to seal the wood? I will do this if so!
Another good think for the spare tire mount, is having another complete hub assembly with bearings attached to the spare tire bracket and the tire on the hub. This will give you more parts should a bearing or hub cause a breakdown. That tongue lock you have is no good. You can take a hammer and hit on the bottom side of the locking bar and it will break the ratchet locking system and open with just a couple strikes
6:37 more like 'so simple thieves cant take it, and its less likely to get stolen'. but thats the beauty of living in a place you dont have to worry about scumbags like that.
hmmmmm..... triple crown, keep an eye on the frame twisting and tongue/frame cracking. These trailers are built super cheap with thin angle iron and thin wire mesh.
The spots you added tie downs weren't frame of the trailer but frame of the wire mesh sides. It is rated for holding wire mesh and your tie downs should be treated accordingly.

What’s your trailer model made?

I just found your channel and subscribed. I may have a lot of questions for you about organizing out trailers!!!! Again thank you 👍

Used motor oil n diesel fuel works great for a wood preservative. Can't beat the price. 😉
I use it myself. Works great and coatings are easy.
question? isn't gonna make the trailer too slippery to walk on or even could make things slide or move while driving?
@@gamking7987 nope...let it set for a while, itll eventually dry

I also got a jack to carry in the toolbox. I need to find some small jack stands

Seal the bottom of the pressure treated as well.

Great video. Found my spare tire for my big tex trailer at fleet farm in Wisconsin. Most important item.
thank you so much for the excellent recommendations great video
Great video, but you should add the lug wrench, and jack to your storage

Great video! I like the design of your utility trailer. Can I ask what brand you have? Thanks
What an awesome unit.

I like that . I deliver couches and I need a place to tie down my Straps I’ll be getting those D links now . I always thought they had to be welded
Excellent recommendations!!!!!
rock lights in the decking down the side i found useful. maybe a video idea?
I have the same drill.
Probably should spread the water seal underneath the deck too
I always carry one of my two ramps with me and then if I have a flat I do not have to use jack just pull other axle up on ramp and it will lift the one with flat

Helpful video. Great suggestions.
Did I miss where you put the jack and a lug wrench?
I clean my deck everyday!

Where did you get your spare tire from?
Same place I bought the trailer
Awesome Video💪

6:10 OMG you showed you were literally drilling into the wires in the tongue lol. did they get nicked at all or did you remove them when drilling?
I moved the wires when I was drilling

It's the same angle iron the rest of the trailer is made out of, 1/4 thick steel.....they will do just fine!
