** About Todd's Projects and Outdoor Journal **
Welcome, my name is Todd. My wife Laura and I live in a small town located in Michigan. We also have a cabin and 80 acres of woods located about 2.5 hours North of our home.
We're hands-on DIY people and we enjoy spending time outdoors doing the things that we love. Riding motorcycles, mini-bikes, horses, camping, canoeing / kayaking, Jeep ORVing, hunting, fishing, target shooting, working to improve whitetail deer and wildlife habitat on our property, and more...
I started this channel because it allows me to share projects, experiences, my favorite tools, accessories, useful products and more with my family, friends and a community of people who have similar interests to mine. I'm an avid TH-cam watcher and over the years I've learned a great deal from people who've taken the time to share their information with the YT community. This is my way of giving back.

Thanks, getting ready to install a set

[@ShawnsTrains265]

Good stuff

[@ToddsProjectsandOutdoorJournal]

Appreciate it, thank for watching...

Backing plates would improve this if you're really concerned about safety.

[@ToddsProjectsandOutdoorJournal]

I don't feel it's nessasary when using the washers. It's definitely a solid option. Thanks for the comment...

[@MrBIGTEE504]

Great job but I was wondering did you sealed the trailer because it would give your floor boards a longer life over all good job liked and subscribed

[@ToddsProjectsandOutdoorJournal]

Yes, since it was a new trailer, I waited until the end of the season to seal it to let the treated lumber dry down good. Thanks for watching and subscribing...

[@tedstriker5991]

No issues using a socket with the track right next to the holes? The lifted part of the track doesn't get in the way?

[@ToddsProjectsandOutdoorJournal]

No trouble at all. Thanks for watching. Best of luck...

Should have used Nylock nut so they do not fall off.

[@ToddsProjectsandOutdoorJournal]

20 years and 3 trailers and a simple lock washer has worked perfectly. I do an inspection every year and I've never lost 1 nut. Save your money!

[@xorbex13]

Lag bolts wont last more than a year. I used lags on my trailer and a year later removed it and the bolts were all loose and not biting the wood.

[@ToddsProjectsandOutdoorJournal]

I use both lags and throught bolts. Never had a problem with either on multiple trailers over many years. Must use lag bolts that are about 1/2 or more too long.

[@jdenotter26]

Wouldn’t it have been easier just to use screws?

[@ksweeneyj]

Yes but they can strip out much easier than bolts with washers. Also there are backing plates you can use to help expand the footprint on the underside of the wood even more

[@jdenotter26]

Actually you only need bolts or screws every two feet. Little over done

[@ToddsProjectsandOutdoorJournal]

Since I hall a sub-compact tractor as well as my expensive Harley-Davidson, I think it's prudent to error on the side of caution. It doesn't hurt anything and gives me peace of mind. Thanks for the comment...
