    Awesome trailer repair mate. great content to watch you reconstruct all the bits to replace the bent bits

  • @braydenvogt3017
    @braydenvogt3017 ปีที่แล้ว +56

    You should char the deck boards with a torch and char your logo into it. That would look sick!

  • @BJDDC
    @BJDDC ปีที่แล้ว +6

    A project is a project! This side build, side fix should always be added to your channel… taking a little break from your main project is somewhat interesting! If your thoughts of some mini diy ideas just screaming to be build, stop your car build and do it! This mini projects keeps you happy and motivated.. I as a viewer plus a bunch of us “TH-cam watchers” are always looking forward to see what you plan to do! Keep that positive attitude pumping and enjoy another successful moment!

    I mounted my 8K winch to a trailer hitch bracket, mounted a receiver on the front of the trailer. I can pull the winch off with 1 pin, and store it in the shop. I also use the winch on my truck without a trailer, or i put it on boxblade of my tractor connected to a receiver i mounted there. Best options for a winch, winch remote, snatch blocks, short chains. I like the trailer. Great video as usual. I also wired in both trailer plug types. Drives me crazy when someone borrows my trailer and cuts into wiring to adapt to their vehicle.

  • @maclovesgirls1
    @maclovesgirls1 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Did a great job on the repairs. Came out looking nice. Only pro tip I got is maybe stainless steel screws for the next one.

  • @b.j.carpenter1976
    @b.j.carpenter1976 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Suggestion - your tractor pin for your winch mount drill out the pin hole to 5/16 and put pad lock in it to lock your winch to the trailer and make it removable still.

    • @rileywillard139
      @rileywillard139 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Or something like a locking hitch pin

  • @kakanator
    @kakanator ปีที่แล้ว

    this was bad ass video saving that trailer. putting that pin up higher through the box to keep the wench plate from lifting would have been dope.

  • @yasserabbady7854
    @yasserabbady7854 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Wow your craftsmanship is amazing... if I had tools and equipment like that I would buy every crashed car hauler I could find.... and the epoxy paint job looks so much better then factory you should have painted the entire thing

  • @rhyswilliams695

  • @jadebrecks
    @jadebrecks ปีที่แล้ว +5

    You made that fix look easy! My only suggestion is to put the battery in a battery box with a solar charger mounted on top of it to trickle charge the battery when parked. Keep up the awesome work!

  • @dballin4952
    @dballin4952 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The gussets for the winch stake pocket are a great idea. Nice work

  • @FlawedOffroad
    @FlawedOffroad ปีที่แล้ว +3

    If you're ever winching anything thats wrecked (or with a locked up/flat wheel) that keeps going to 1 side when you try to pull straight, you can make another stake accessory to attach a snatch block on either side

    • @bradywilliams2666
      @bradywilliams2666 ปีที่แล้ว

      A soft shackle and snatch block work great for pulling from a side pocket.

    I’m not the smartest guy in the world but coolest DIY I’ve ever seen with a car battery as a source of power. All this time I was wondering how you were going to power it. I have a spare car battery myself. I’ll find something useful for it

    Owning a trailer is like winning the lotto. You will now have friends you never knew you had coming around. LOL
    PS you should add a fairlead to the winch mount. Mount the battery in the box and get some quick connect ends for the cables. Wire your truck if it isn't already to charge the battery.

    should consider a retractable tarp, similar to whats on a dump truck. Its worth protecting the better than OEM fit an finish you have done on the trailer.

    I would have checked the welds, rewelded whichever ones had cracked, and maybe threw in some cross bracing between a handful of the pieces and sent it lol they aren’t really bent that bad and honestly I wouldn’t have gone through a lot of the work you did lol not that your work isn’t top notch! But I’m a bit lazy haha
