I’ve decided I will be uploading the boat progress/update videos on Patreon. It’s free if you guys would like to check it out, or you can pay to buy me a 🍺. 😉
When towing, cross the safety chains under the hitch. Left chain hook to right safety hook on vehicle and right chain hook to left safety hook on vehicle. If the trailer breaks loose, the crossed chains prevent the trailer hitch from digging into the ground.
Bingo. Noticed that too. Many people do not understand that if the trailer becomes detached that the coupler will dig into the pavement or ground if the chains aren’t crossed. The “X” acts as a cradle of that occurs. Thanks for pointing that out.
When using nyloc nuts, you need to have a few threads visible of the bolt when tightened. The bolts you used to fasten the coupler are too short. The nuts can come loose easily
Good job ... however, being a boat owner myself, and having to install a new wiring harness on my trailer..all I can say is that exposed wiring throughout the length of your trailer...is nothing but trouble down the road. Luckily for me, my wiring is totally enclosed within the trailer frame tubing, with only exposed wiring at the coupler and at rack tail light.
Nice video. I have a note: The coupling head bolt is not long enough. It should go through the nut at least 2x thread pitch to properly utilize the nylon locking ring. I would change it to a longer one.✌🏻
Excellent job. One of my first trailers (for a small Whaler) had those center rollers with the axle caps. I replaced those with stainless washers and cotter pins because I wasn't confident they would stay on after repeated dunking in the brine😏. Clearly the original owner didn't wash his trailer off after salt water use. That's one solid small trailer. Subscribed!
Beautiful ... except for the overspray and paint drops on those pretty new white wheels! NOOOO!! 😟😉 Who knew there were so many parts to a boat trailer! Looks good!
Hola yo creo que más que restauración fue una reconstrucción porque cambiaste muchas piezas que considero podían volver a reutilizarse. Saludos y quedó muy bien el trabajo.
Nice job on this resto. At the beginning, I thought this was just bonkers--but you've turned a trailer some might have scrapped into a good one! Beautiful work.
Awesome. Me personally would think it would look cool the frame different color than the powder coated parts. Wonder how much money was saved compared to buying new trailer?
That square plate where the hub axles bolts onto looks rusted too thin near the 4 holes on both sides for the axles to be bolted back on. I think a boat trailer should have a shock absorber installed with the coupler/ball hook that hooks onto the vehicle's towbar
Shame the bolt you used on the coupler was too short. The Nylok nut only works if the thread of the bolt goes through it, the pictures clearly showed the old bolt did this by at least 2 or 3 threads, the new bolt is about 10mm too short (1/2")
I had issues with my lights not working on my trailer because the ground wire was only grounding through the thickness of the material where the screw went through instead of grinding down to bare metal where the washer and eyelet set on frame.
mudguards are on the wrong sides - would have been nice to use stainless hardware - the nut on the hitch didn't go far enough on to catch the nylon - impressed with the powdercoating. I have the equipment but havent used it yet
I only have one thought wouldn’t it been a better option to completely strip the trailer then rebuild it from ground up I mean you could have still got the boat off with the OG hubs I felt that it was back to front video tbh the hubs would have been the last thing you did tbh
@@aaronpeaty6619 I wasn’t sure if I was going to record the whole thing, wasn’t even sure if I was going to strip the whole thing when I did the hubs 🙂
You’re kidding yourself if you think that’s going to last. Get a torch, cut off ALL the old crap and replace with new. Use stainless hardware, and get a single leaf spring. You can’t wash out the salt and crap that gets in between those leaf springs, which leads to premature failure. Buy some sealed LED lights and wire those up all brand new. Unless of course you plan on selling it right away to make some money. Otherwise, do it right, or do it twice!
Number one problem is magic junk. Had one, literally replaced everything on trailer with Dexter parts. Now it’s a real trailer. No UFP parts and yes that’s the actual name of company that magic uses for trailer accessories. Literally total junk
Well it’s like in the film sea biscuit when they were going to shoot the horse and the cowboy saved it when asked why he said because he can ………not everything new is worth the money, think of the experience gained from this without TH-cam techniques etc practiced for a greater project, what did Hadrian say about Rome?! brick by brick my citizens brick by brick
Same lol. You can spray all the rusty metal primer and rust reformer you want, rust will come back through the paint eventually. Especially in saltwater.
Доброго дня у вас все так бистро получается ,когда делаеш замену узлами ,я обично розбираю очищаю перемиваю потшипники делаю дефектовку потом покупаю нужние деталисобираб смазиваю закриваю ,вотв вашем случае я так понимаю нужно заменить сальник потшипники и смазку ступицу почистить и окрасить и она еще поработает ,по поводу шини ,менять однозначно там корд пошол ипротектор стерло в одном месте где корд лопнул там видувало грижу ине ровномерний износ а диск то хорош ,ви колесо заменили всборе ,так удобнее или финансово вигоднее тоесть меньше заплатите ??????????????просто хочу понять ,вот я наверное все делал как максимально дешевле .

It would be interesting to see the final cost of the replacement parts compaired to purchasing a new trailer.
@@akafrosty6175 I spent about $500
Thanks for sharing. Wonder how long paint will hold versus hot dip galvanized. Looks great now.

I also came here to say this.
Always cross chains

only one thing ya left out rubber gromets on the wires on trailer lights they can rub out on the washers vary good looking job lots of work

Looks 1000% better! I was expecting a series of 2 or 3 videos for such a big project. Nice of you to squeeze it in one video 🙂👍
@@MusicalBox I considered it but my longer videos tend to do better 🙂
I hope you weathered the storms and hurricanes. Excellent res-mod.
@@grayjack5021 minimal damage 👍 thank you!
A really nice job, it is unrecognisable from how you began. One piece of advice is that you should shroud the wiring with some 10 mm split shrouding.
Excellent restoration. Turn down the sand flow to stop choking and spitting on your sandblast rig.
Отлично!!! Руки из плеч!!! 👍👍👍💪🔥🔥🔥
Dayum thats a nice coupler!!
That was VERY satisfying to watch!!!!
Gotta love a Jeep Gladiator! I have an Overland too, excellent choice! 🦆You did an amazing job on this trailer, very well done.
Thank you 🦆!! 🙂
Fantastic! Great job! Thanks for sharing!
@@marcusmitchell1895 thank you!
Bolts must protrude through nylock nuts in order to hold properly

It just looks great!
That was epic. Great restoration.

Most excellent restoration! Looks like it's ready for another 100 years. Appreciate the hard work and fine editing. Sub'd for more!
@@gforcekaras glad you enjoyed it!
Perfeito!!! Ficou nova de novo!!!
Thank you 💙
When threading cables through metal you should have rubber grommets inserted in the hole to protect the cable. PETER LINDOP UK.
Very good
Nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
Kool nice job. Let's go fishing
Hopefully you and the new trailer made it through Milton ok
@@gohamm34652 we made it through with minimal damages, thank you!
Awesome. Me personally would think it would look cool the frame different color than the powder coated parts. Wonder how much money was saved compared to buying new trailer?
It looks better than the one in my yard. Owner was driving by when the trailer folded at the tongue.
Pay attention to metal edges, metal must be clean and smooth for paint to last.
When installing new lights paint reflective surfaces in white or Alluminium paint.
Great video! The new bolts holding the tongue on don’t seem long enough for the nylon locking nut to catch the nylon part. Maybe I’m wrong?
wrong on primer? better use primer for zinc coat..the meter have treated by zinc ..normal paint cant couper together with zinc
That square plate where the hub axles bolts onto looks rusted too thin near the 4 holes on both sides for the axles to be bolted back on.
I think a boat trailer should have a shock absorber installed with the coupler/ball hook that hooks onto the vehicle's towbar
Nice. I would of bought a new coupler they do wear out.
Buy,a new trailer, and do some fishing, probably get a season worth! 😂
Aren't your safety chains supposed to be crossed under the tongue, so they can catch it if it comes off the ball?
@@mhfuzzball correct, the ones I got are a bit too short so I’ll be replacing them..
fuzzball, exactly what I was going to post! Ya beat me to it! :)
Nice result, and likely only twice the price of a new one. 😂
Shame the bolt you used on the coupler was too short.
The Nylok nut only works if the thread of the bolt goes through it, the pictures clearly showed the old bolt did this by at least 2 or 3 threads, the new bolt is about 10mm too short (1/2")
Show de bola 🎉🎉🎉
All new now 🎉
Very nice work, I always enjoy watching your videos. I agree with the other comment, is the boat next?
I’m not sure yet
Looks great but you used no grommets on the wiring. That'll create problems
Is it called rusty metal primer because it's for use on rusty metal or because it looks like rusty metal after you've painted it?
Mmmm grinding galvanization off
Galvanized or stainless steel hardware always for a boat trailer. Especially in saltwater.
I had issues with my lights not working on my trailer because the ground wire was only grounding through the thickness of the material where the screw went through instead of grinding down to bare metal where the washer and eyelet set on frame.
mudguards are on the wrong sides - would have been nice to use stainless hardware - the nut on the hitch didn't go far enough on to catch the nylon - impressed with the powdercoating. I have the equipment but havent used it yet
padlock on the spare
epoxy paints are much more durable that are even offered in a throw away spray can.
I always wonder, is powder coating durable enough without another corrosion protection layer? A scratch and it rusts, right?
😂good“s🎉‼️

New split pin on bearing hub please.
It was new at first I bent them opposite directions rather than both the same way.
Don’t make me get up in your a**
Nice one. Will you restore the boat too ? 🤔
I’m not sure yet 🙂
@@DrRestoration come on. We Know you want it 😂
@@juliom6260 it’ll depend on how this video does, it takes 3-4x longer to do something when recording it 🙂
@@DrRestoration I can imagine it. Well, do whatever is better for you. I'm sure we'll love it.
Definitely would not have wasted 10 seconds sand blasting and painting when a new galvanized one would have been better choice
I wouldn’t waste 10 seconds fu***ng your mouth but keep it up and I’ll give you an hour.

Spend a couple hundred buying a used trailer done.
Well done but with hardware and time, you could've bought a trailer.
How much did it cost?
It cost about $600 to restore

How is this restoration when you're buying new stuff
Stoped watching after I saw a ryobi
