- To get the brand new trailer ready for the road, I had to do a little work. I mounted some spares, built a mount for the winch, tool box and battery, threw on some lights for easy middle of the night loading, painted the deck to provide a little extra traction and protection to the wood.

It blows me away how you are able to 1) do all of this genuinely-quality work as effectively as you do, 2) record and edit it into concise snippets of quality entertainment for us, 3) manage to find the time to reply to as many fans as possible, and 4) still manage to make a profit (I presume.) You're a gem, dude. I will be here until 1,000,000 subscribers and beyond.
I also work a full time job and spend 10-14hrs a week at the gym (sometimes I have to skip for the marathon weekends). It is getting harder, as my channel grows, to reply to everyone but I try to keep up whenever I have free time. I have not lost on a rebuild yet after doing over 1000. I thank you for the support. I would not be here without you guys and the support keeps me motivated to make more videos. Thanks for watching.
Dear @@vehcor
Good heavens! I should have known better already but because you don't wear a cape I didn't. 😁 ;-) You're a kind of Superman respectively superhuman! My deepest respect. You look extremely fit, strong, healthy and definitely younger. Congrats and Kudos. 👍👌👏
Best regards luck and health.
You may already have a comment for it, But I didn't see it in the comments. Maybe ad a small solar panel and charge controller in the tool box to keep the battery topped up when the trailer is just sitting outside. Defiantly like the idea of lighting up the forward part of the fenders in order to be able to see them from the rear view mirrors. Love your videos and your attention to detail.
That solar panel is one addition I want to make. I have added a few others so I think I will make another video for the trailer. Thanks for watching!
The only youtuber with a descent trailer. Dude knows what he’s doing.
Thanks, we will see how long I can keep it in decent shape. It is a piece of equipment and things happen even as much as I try to be careful. So far so good though, just some wear on the deck but there is no way around that. Thanks for watching.
I have a 2019 PJ B6, with drive over fenders, and a 14K gvw. I've used it to haul a few vehicles, and mine and my folks SXS on a trip to NH. I've been nothing but impressed with my trailer!
I also opted to get it in desert tan, so it looks good behind my "commando green" ram 2500.
Just a friendly tip for you, if you want to help save the life of your ramps, flip them upside down, so when it rains while you're driving, water doesn't collect in the c channel or the ramps.
Awesome video man!! Thank you for some of inspiration for my trailer!
@@MrBigredtaco99 I really wanted the 14k super wide with monster ramps but the ROI just wasn't there for me. It was way more than I needed and purchase and operating costs are much higher. Thanks for the tip on the ramps, so simple but I never thought of it. I am less concerned with the rotting c channel and more with the fact that every time I pull them out I get soaked. lol Thanks for watching and good luck with your trailer.
I've got 2 full tilt trailers ones a 16k gvw suretrac deck over (it's a monster has 14ply tires on it) and the other is 14k striker a non decokover with 10ply tires wish I had a hydraulic dove goose with tandem duals
Mike Diesel with tools and work environment to boot
Dude. You're a badass. This is coming from a mid-50's car guy who's been wrenching part time since the late 70's and owns a car stereo shop. Dood. Thank you for the details on your builds, and humor. You've got some serious skills and an ideal approach.
Thanks, I have also been wrenching since the late 70s but I was only 3 then and my work was not the best. lol But I had the fastest pedal car in the neighborhood! I'm glad you enjoy the builds. Thanks for the support!
Thanks for showing how you professionally customize a trailer, those were some useful additions. you always do real quality work and I enjoyed watching. Also thanks for showing how it looks at night, I was hoping were going to do that!
All the time I spent on the trailer, I have saved while using it already. I don't know how I ever used trailers without all the modifications. It makes life so easy in the long run. Thanks for watching.
Amazing video man! I admire the detail you take in all your work. Impressive.
Thanks. "Do it once, do it right or don't do it at all", is pretty much my motto! Thanks for watching!
I love meeting guys on the road at night towing something making their lights point up and when they get even brighter head lights it’s even more awesome! Your a great guy !
I certainly hope you don't have a truck or pull trailers. If your main concern is headlight alignment and not a load that is unsafe you don't need to be on the road with one. If the back of the truck is sagging, the equipment is not right for the job or not loaded correctly. My lights are aimed correctly and do not blind anyone. My fog lights are aimed correctly to be a reminder to the a-holes on the road to act right. They get used accordingly.
Man I wish I could work next to you and just learn as much as I can.. Great job!
Great job on your trailer. Particularly the two spares.👍🏻👍🏻
This video put my some of my ideas of future mods for my 18’ trailer on video, lol it’s gonna be easier now since I can refer back to your video this up coming summer, before starting work. Your are a true craftsman.
Thanks, glad you found it useful. The mods have been worth the time invested already. Thanks for watching.
The winch setup you made is exactly what i wanna fab up for my pj. Good job
I went though about 30 different design mock ups before I settled on this one. It has been great and I am glad I went with it. Good luck on your fabrication! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for showing the trailer at night with the lights!
Trailer looks good. When I did my trailer we used large tool box. The one that fits inside a truck bed, so that it’s not wide.
I mounted spare tire under front of trailer so it’s not mounted open to be seen. It has a lock so can’t be stolen.
My 10,000 lb wench we mounted in a cradle with a hitch. Welded bracket for mount that is bolted and can be removed.
On top of storage in large toolbox the hitch has a tray for all your blocks and chocks.
Ya it’s pretty sweet. 18’ dove I love it. My dad helped me make it what it is today. Could not of done it without him.
Putting a little extra work in can save lots of time and headaches in the future. Thanks for watching!
Nice thoughtful install on the winch. Out of the weather with extra storage.
You can never have too much storage and keeping the rain and salt(hopefully I can avoid that) away from it will help it last a lot longer. Thanks for watching.
Pretty slick using that toolbox like you did. Awesome job.
Thanks!
Very clean build of trailer components...great job.
Thank you.
I liked the winch setup! I have a removable hitch mount on the front of mine. I found that a remote for the winch helps tons. I can steer what i'm winching, and don't have to worry about the cable on the switch.
That is truly smart how you came up with the winch mount. I've never seen a mount for a trailer made this way very helpful video.
Thanks, I went though a few different design ideas before I settled on this one. Thanks for watching.
love the welding job
Nice mods . Great job , good luck with your new trailer . Thanks for the video.
Thanks, it has already made a few trips and I am very happy with it! Thanks for watching!
Great Video. I just picked up a PJ C5 new also. I was looking for a great video to mount my new Warn winch and lights. You sir, did an excellent job. This directly applies to my trailer. Thanks!!!
Thanks, it was a very specific video but it seems to have reached its target audience. There are probably dozens of us. lol There are many ways to do it, I went through about 10 different designs before I decided this would be the best. There are links to the tool box, winch and switches I used as well as the lights if you are looking for them. I have already used my lights and winch a few times and I'm really glad I spent the time to install them, it will save hours in the future. Thanks for watching
Nice video , I just rebuilt my 2004 "Cargo mfg co" after being dormant for 10 years , we had very similar ideas and I hadn't watched your excellent video !
Always enjoy your youtube videos. I learn a lot and also what not to do regarding beyond my skillset. Thank you
awesome work I loved the way you did everything very clean and useful for what you need it for.
Hello great level of detail in this video just what we want to see great additions to your trailer looking forward to seeing the next one
Glad to hear I am headed in the right direction. A new camera gave me the ability to make this video a little differently. I still had the time lapse camera running but this showed a little more detail and was a much shorter video after editing. Thanks for watching and the support!
Great additions to the trailer! Like!
Thank you, thanks for watching!
Nice job, looks great and very functional.
All of the modifications have proven to be very useful. I am glad I invested the time, I have saved it ten fold in the long run. Thanks for watching.
Nice set up for sure! Thanks for all the ideas for my trailer
Thanks, good luck on your project.
Nice work. I have a 20' PJ with the mega ramps and I've been considering a setup just like yours. thanks for the vid!
I wanted the mega ramps but would have had to move to the 14k trailer. I'll just have to deal with my little stick ramps. lol Thanks for watching!
Great trailer . I love the idea of putting the winch in the box . Really makes it look very proffessional great job scott . And no afternoon shift either lol . Those oxbeam lights are great i know a few guys who have them fitted to tractors and machinery . They say its like night and day the difference they found with them fitted . Ur vids are great hope u and family are well scott pls take care ... ian ....
Nice idea for the winch, very nice !!
Thanks, the toolbox was really just an easy way to protect the switches. I was originally just going to build a water tight box for them and then the multipurpose tool box idea came along. After a little searching I found that one with the near perfect dimensions. I have used the winch and lights quite a few times now and don't know how I every lived without them. They have already saved me more time than I invested into this install. Thanks for watching!
Dig it, good video. On my trailer, I installed rear back up lamps on the rear edge of the trailer next to the rear, red running lamps. Wired them into the 7 pin. When I shift the truck into reverse those lights kick on along with the factory back up lamps on the truck. They are white, oval LED, same style as the read Oval tail light. Having them sure assists backing up in the dark.
I never saw the need but I tried turning on the lights under the deck for backing up once and it was such a help I did end up wiring them into the 7 pin connector. They now come on in reverse and I can turn them on when loading even with the truck parked. I have a diode in the line to keep from setting codes in the trans when using the switch to turn on the lights. Thanks for watching.
As a firm believer in "Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing" I approve of this build. :)
Thanks, I have similar beliefs!
I own a 18 foot utility trailer, heavy duty with a pipe top rail. I added swivel trailer jacks on the back rear corners, on each side. I use a block of wood depending on the height needed to ground, and when I load a tractor or vehicle the swivel jacks carry the load of the vehicle or tractor when it loads down the back of the trailer and prevents the trailer from picking up the rear of my truck, or forcing the trailer down on the rear. Did this about 20 years ago, work perfect ever since. They swivel horizontal against the trailer when not in use, just pull the swivel pin and it drops and locks, or horizontal. Hope that helps, enjoy your channel. From the South Texas Border.
The back does have jacks, I just leave them off until I need them. Thanks for watching.
Quite the rig! Love this setup!
Thanks, it has been super useful!
The accessories are almost as much as the trailer. Man I like the setup 🤞👍
Thank you for your comments very helpful
No problem, glad to share a little bit of my experience! Thanks for watching.
Don't know where your at, but I always assemble electrical grounds/connections with dielectric grease to prevent corrosion from road salt. Always wear safety glasses when cutting metal. Last always aim your headlights at 25' from your garage doors. Those LED bulbs rotate to allow you to get the elements horizontal for your beam pattern. Otherwise you get a big blob of light, with no cutoff line, that just blinds oncoming traffic. That's a ticket in some states
Thanks for the tips.
Very nice job and top notch workmanship brother. Thanks so much to share with everyone
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Great idea with the toolbox. Keeps the weather off the electrics and the sticky fingers away too. Another idea would be to have some lightweight gravel guard protection for what you are hauling. Could even be a stretched tarp. You would be amazed at the stuff that flies around the highway.
The tool box was my cheating way of housing the electrics. I was going to build a box until I found this one that had many more uses. Thanks for watching.
Wow excellent work
Wow great job and looks great . Job well done. Everything is nice and neat
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Perfect! Very, very nice job!
Thank you!
Great job brother!!
Good Welds and Great Video Brother 👍
Dude is fucking awesome with his fabrication work . Thanks for sharing such an awesome detailed video for us truckers and trailer pullers .
Your attention to detail is outstanding. I have that issue too, some things I can't do just because it will be a rabbet hole.
Man this thing is slick I like how you used the tool box to house the wench
and control panel.
It was an easy solution instead of building one. I am super happy with all the mods. I have used the lights and winch a few times and it has probably already saved me the time invested. Thanks for watching!
That my friend, was freakin awesome! Great Video! 👍
Thanks!
Nice job. You make it look like advanced legos. A kid playing with his toys. Really looks great!
Big thumbs up for this and 10k subscribers! 👍😊
Thank you! I could not have made it to 10k without you guys..... so a big thanks to all of my subs!
You sir are quite talented.
Nice job you do great work. Great video thanks for sharing
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Great video!
Looks professional and will be a great asset,
Thanks, I liked my old trailer and it was good to me but this one is much better in every way. Thanks for watching.
So fancy! Nice work!
Great Trailer set up.
Thank you!
Looks good! I like the set up.
Thanks, it has been great for the last year with more modifications coming in the next video.
Very nice setup!
Thanks, it has been pretty handy.
Somebody on youtube that knows what they are doing. Makes a refreshing change
Thanks!
This one of the best setups I have seen, Thanks for the ideas for my next trailer. especially like the tool box idea for the winch mine is currently mounted on the deck of the trailer and it gets in the way to much.
Thanks, it has been super useful. My main goal was to keep the deck 100% clear since I commonly end up using every inch somehow. Thanks for watching! Good luck on you future modifications!
Very clean. Wish I had found this before I made mine. Will use the light idea though!
I think you should keep up the great work man!
Thanks, will do!
Sizzling bacon, welds sound good. Those magnetic angle jigs are well worth it. Nice job on winch box.
Thanks, thanks for watching.
Excellent work
You’re a freaking artist!
Thanks!
Wow best one I seen. I wish I had this kind of talent.
You got skills, I'm in. I'm a fan and now a follower. Great Work. Cheers .....
Nice clean work
you do superb work the best video hands down on mounting winch to trailer
Thanks!
Looks great, love the powdercoat!
Thanks, much more durable than paint and not too expensive.
How much did the coat cost?
@@nayBobb $50
Loveing the new trailer bud
Thanks, it has been very good to me!
Looks great. I did lights on my trailer for loading and unloading atvs. Also the lights are wired up the the 7 pin trailer harness for reverse lights.
Thanks, the reverse lights I thought of afterwards. They were so useful that I needed to hook them up so I didn't have to get out of the truck to turn them on. Thanks for watching.
I don't get why trailers to this day do not come equipped with reverse lights from the factory. It should be mandatory.
Cool video. Thanks for sharing.
I wish I was this talented.
Awesome project
Thanks
Black tool/battery/equipment boxes will exceed 170°F in the sun on a still day. Light colors will go about 130°F in same conditions... like hot beach sand. So, if stuff inside is sensitive, paint chrome or put an aluminum shield over. [1/2 in gap... 12mm for foreigners]
Like your work. Thanks. 👍🏼🤠
Nice set up looks clean
Thanks!
Interesting content as always....thanks!
Thanks and thanks for watching.
Great video and expert build. The only thing I could think of to make it better is if all that was done to my trailer.
I totally get it not wanting to weld on a brand new trailer. Im in the same boat .thanks to you i wont half to .
Big fan love the customizing to trailer and big fan of auxbeam
I have watched most of your videos. For somebody that takes so much effort and pride into repairing vehicles, and returning back to factory specs or better. It shocked me to install aftermarket lights that are not dot approved.
Nice Work, Thanks
vraiment du beau travail effectué sur la remorque !!!!
Je vous remercie. Merci d'avoir regardé!
Nice looking lights
Well done👍
Nice job 👍 on the trailer and truck
Thanks!
Your welding skills are some of the best I have seen you are really skilled
Thanks, thanks for watching.
@@vehcor definitely worth watching with all the information you include in the videos
@@TheDark1Love Thanks, glad you enjoy them!
I have auxbeam headlights in my truck and I think it’s a clean trailer set up the way you got it set up
Thanks, I am very happy with the Auxbeam products as well. Thanks for watching.
to hell with ramps! i bought a new 20ft tilt bed road warrior last year and its been glorious ever since! and i added a 17,500 smittybilt winch to the front because no kill like overkill!
I only use the ramps about 30% of the time. End loaders load and unload. A tilt bed costs more and is heavier. So I could not pull the same weight as this unless I moved up to a 14K trailer. Then the cost to pull and plate it also increases. So, I would be paying more money for a trailer at purchase and the life of the trailer that I only use as intended 30% of the time. This is the trailer that made the most sense financially and I have no regrets. I can also load cars backwards if I have too. Which can sometimes be a problem with tilt beds if they are gravity tilt.
Again great video thks mate! Im going to build my replacement trailer i can do it pay day to pay day
I like the music? Sweet job on the trailer!
Thanks!
You put a battery on your trailer, you can now delete the breakaway box and only run the switch (the one with the wire you hook to your truck) from positive to brake line of trailer. That's what I did since I have a winch too on my '08 Suretrac.
You think that would be a no brainer but it never occurred to me. lol Thanks for the idea.
I am getting ready to mount a winch on my 18` dovetail. I like the idea of putting it inside the box. I have one on my 20`, but it was plenty long enough to mount directly at the front of the bed. I don`t think I`ll have enough room on the 18` to do that. when I have a car on, I have to pull forward so far so the doors will clear the trailer fender, there is not enough room for a winch.
Good luck on the project. I personally like to save all the bed space I can.
@@vehcor thank you
Hey from Alaska. Put your battery in a water and dust proof box. The elements will make life hard when it come to the longevity of the battery. Road dirt , grime and water on the roadway ect. Yput your winch in protective box why not your battery.
Really impressed with this set up. Attention to detail and i dont think there is such a thing as overboard. I am looking into adding a winch to my trailers even though they are not car haulers. Would like to throw an idea of using a Solar panel to keep up the trailer battery. The smaller 2.5 watt kits are pretty cheap. The switch panel was spot on in my opinion. Enjoyed watching this clip.
I did consider the solar charger, since it is always hooked to my truck it would be like a battery tender for both together. I don't know how I ever used my old trailer without theses modifications. I have easily saved more than the time invested in these mods since I have been using it. I may have a part 2 eventually: how I have the tool boxes set up, what I carry with me, some attachments I have for the trailer and maybe that solar panel. Thanks for watching!
Nice very nice work.
I have a Big Tex car hauler I wanna do this to. Thanks for the info!!!
love your videos so much
Thank you, I'll keep making them if you keep watching them.
