Building a Custom Single Axle Trailer: Part 1

This time at the Quick Speed Shop I need to build a trailer to haul my Deathtrap Rail Dragster. I designed an open deck trailer similar to what they used back in the day. After spending way too much on steel and using some stashed parts I start to build the trailer. Its about 6 ft by 12 ft and should ride low.
Please like, share, and subscribe. I put out new videos every Wednesday and Sunday.

New Steel always looks great during the build. A useful trailer for all of your hauling!👀

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Been needing a smaller trail for awhile now so this will work good.

👍🏻Got some trailer action going on… now your friends will be coming out of the woodwork to borrow it!

[@QuickSpeedShop]

I don't have many rules, but two apply here. No one drives my cars and I don't lend out trailers.

[@charlesbraun9636]

That's going to be a nice trailer. Thanks Josh, I look forward to all your videos.

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Thanks Charles 👍

[@ericcoffedgp40]

That's gonna be sweet!

[@philmickey7247]

My thought is that you're inspiring viewers to start or continue their own project(s).😁 Me too!
Thanks!👍

[@QuickSpeedShop]

I hope so. The best way to get any project done is to just get out there and work on it!

Hey there. When you buy the tires, check the speed rating. Those ST tires have a letter. Many have a lower speed rating than you can believe. Exceeding that speed generates heat and blow outs on many trailers. It took me three blowouts to figure that out. Nice work.

[@QuickSpeedShop]

I forget the letter on these, but they are rated for a lot. I rarely tow fast, 65 mph tops. Not one of those guys that tows a loaded camper at 85 mph!

[@mark98070]

awesome build. I've been looking around for a twin axle trailer

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Trailers are all stupid expensive now, especially bigger ones.

[@markrandall1456]

I like your axle placement. I had a 8’ dump trailer with the axle exactly in the center. You talk about a wig wagger! I fixed it by extending the tongue and adding a tongue tool box.

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Tail wagging the dog is no fun!

[@Raydawg]

I always watch 100% of your video's, wonder if I was to watch it 2 or 3 times if that will help with your views. Thanks for the video Josh have a great rest of the week Sir

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Thanks Ray, I can always count on you. Now I just need to get the other 14k subscribers to watch!

[@johncourtneyscott2757]

It’s looking good

[@QuickSpeedShop]

👍

[@randiegadberry5448]

I bought a trailer that I found out had it’s axle too far forward while I was hauling a car on it. Wasn’t much fun when it was wagging like a dog’s tail.

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Yeah, too much tail weight is no fun at all. I always load my trailers tongue heavy.

[@wittysgarage]

I'm not sure why the views are low like your saying but I noticed that with mine lately as well on my Crew cab build. First two videos got well over a few thousand views each and now I can't get over 600 views per video. Damn algorithm. 😥 Keep up the awesome work, views will start coming soon. 🤘Love the build.

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Yeah, I don't know. The algorithm has always hated me 😂. You think after almost 700 videos one of mine would have taken off, but...

[@wittysgarage]

@@QuickSpeedShop Well you got dedicated subs like myself that will always keep coming back for ya. 😎🤘

[@DependableAutoTruck]

will it fit thru the garage door looks close

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Yes. Door is 9ft, I don't think the tires are even 8ft wide.

[@markrandall1456]

I was wondering that too. I think the angle made it look too wide.
