First day of my 3 day weekend was super productive, fixed an overheating dodge intrepid, dude pulled into my driveway it was smokin haha..

Then installed a new stove, and got to work on my trailer...

I picked up some 5/16"x2" galvanized carrier bolts. 25 for about $15 w/washers and nuts. Used them to mount the deck.

Then I took it back off and used some super expensive wood sealer, waterproofer, stain W/ stain blocking properties all in one to treat the wood and possibly prolong the life of my deck. This stuff is like $4 a quart. I used the summertime stuff it's like 10w-30 so hopefully it will work as good as the 5w-30 i would normally use in the wintertime. I got a good deal cause I keep a 55gal. Drum outside, all I had to get was a $3 brush!

Then I did some touch up red spray paint on the frame and bolted everything down solid. I'll probably have to recoat this a few times. The wood soaks it up pretty good and it drys enough so that it's not nearly as slippery as I thought it would be.

I got enough done today I should be able to knock out the biggest part of mounting my winch to the festy tomorrow. Then Tuesday or wednesday when I get the new welder i can get the side rails mounted up and the hinges for the tailgateramp mocked up. I might just be able to get started on the project I've been brainstorming and working and saving scrap metals toward for the last year. Will def be one of a kind.

Anybody wanna guess how much weight I got on here lol???

The compressor alone in front of the stove weighs in at 175+ it's got the balancer and pulley attached. I tossed 7 steering knuckles in the stove with some flywheels and flex plates. Aspire dash and metal from another aspire dash+ who knows what else lol.. Stuff has been added since this pic.

I am gonna say.......750? I got a 300, a 500 and a 650 so far. Lol.. I'll be taking it in in the morning.

That's cool.

If you have an available 5.5'w, 2.5'd, and 6' high spot, you have room for the 4x8 HF folding trailer. Mine is actually in my front room right now, and is totally out of the way. I'll post a pic of it if you like.

420 That's my guess and it's final.

[Spike]

Nothing better than paying for a new purchase just by using it. I say 506lbs.

^ it was 860!!! I posted pics in my aspire thread since that car pulled it!

I got the rails welded up today gotta paint and get the tailgate mounted.

[DriverOne]

So you got $86 back?

[zoom zoom]

Lol close! It was 101+change




I was screwing around last night about 3am while it was still warm and got my tailgate hinged up. It works EXACTLY as I thought it would!!!

Then today I went out in the freezing cold garage and realized there's something missing... A toolbox!! What all around utility trailer is complete without a toolbox?!

Luckily I had just enough angle iron to weld up a square for the box to sit down in and a single brace to keep it secure!

If it ever warms up I'll paint it... Can anybody think of anything I'm missing besides a spare tire?

fenders and some rounded corners on the front of the top rail.
