  • In this video we get on a project that has been on the back burner for some time now. My car trailer was down one ramp, and it turns out you really need 2 of them for it to operate properly haha. So we go over to Shaw's Machine Shop in Marana, Arizona and build a set with the guidance of Bill. I always love a day filled with welding and cutting!

    Making stuff is always fun.
    Dude, I love first gen bronco's. Interested to see it in your upcoming videos.
    At least your car trailer is a legit one. Mine is a converted utility trailer with beefier axles, springs, and brakes.
    Your channel gives me the motivation to want to work on my crap. And to upload more content to my other channel.

    I really like the idea that the ramps are easily removable.
    On my trailer, I only use the ramps to load or unload the ATV a few times a year.
    Most of the time I use the trailer to transport construction materials, which doesn't require ramps.
    Even sometimes, ramps can interfere with carrying loads that exceed the length of the trailer.

    you made it look so easy. I need to build some ramps and now I feel a little bit better about tackling the task myself. Thank You

    Good job with all the fab work man. Only thing I'd suggest would be to use angle iron (V V V V) as the center inserts, much much better traction.

    • @mikemahlen3713

      he means to put angle iron, pointed part down, (so that the V is facing up) in between the ramps for a driving surface. The V offer traction and strength. @@anthonymoreno2897

    You should put a rub rail on the front of that trailer

    Awesome man! Was thinking about building some myself for my trailer. How much did this cost you?

    • @DickHamm
      @DickHamm  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glad to hear! Unfortunately I did not get an accurate pricing because I was just using scrap pieces at my step dad's shop. However I think you could probably get an idea from just looking at some sticks of both thicknesses of square tube and some angle iron for the hooks

    Is that about 3/4 inch thick where the ramp hooks up to on the trailer? Making ramps on my trailer right now.

    • @DickHamm
      @DickHamm  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Honestly I couldn’t tell you. I sold the trailer, but it didn’t have any issues and I towed a LOT of stuff lol

      Not too bad! I think going thinner on the inner tubes helps

    Why weld down when you could of just turned the ramp on its side for a flat weld?

    • @DickHamm
      @DickHamm  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hard to say unfortunately cause I used scrap at my step dads shop. I’d say you could get a 20ft stick of square maybe 2 and get it done with that

    young man ,
    u are doing this ramps assback / your way is not safe to drive on ! .
    angle iron would be better complete safe , because the points will be sticking up , your tires or track will grips the ramps better !
    an make sure your lip should be on the bottom / this way your weld want broke
