That turned out bad ass. Nice job. Sorry if I missed this or if you have answered already but what gearing did you go with for those 37's? Mike.

Glad to hear you are backing motoring down the road. Also glad to see you located the initial problem and addressed it to avoid another stator replacement. Mike.

Nate, it's funny how the little details that people hardly notice seem to be the most time consuming and after working for several hours look like you hardly did anything.:( Mike.

Thank you. I spend a lot of time in the shop and when I built it the wife told me to build it the way I want it because she didn't want to listen to me bitch. Now 20-years later I just wish I had a bit more property so I could have built it a little larger. Mike.

Friday night I was able to get a couple of cross bars cut and welded in for the tongue box to sit on. The instructions that came with the box showed anchoring it down on the four inside corners but that left the bottom pretty well unsupported. I wanted to ensure the bottom didn't sag down...

DA=Dual Action sander and I just ran over it with some 220-grit sanding disks on the perimeter tubing and fenders. The undercarriage I wiped down and ran over with a Scotchbrite pad, wiped with wax and grease remover and brushed the POR-15 onto the steel. Actually POR-15 seems to bond better...

I rolled the trailer outside and ran a DA over the whole thing to prep it for paint. Next up is the nasty stuff, POR-15. I wear gloves and for this job I even layed down some plastic to protect my shop floor. Underside coated. I only covered the underside and the middle section that...

My son sent me the link to that a few weeks ago. I almost pissed myself laughing so hard. Here is a link, first review down. Consider yourself warned.:laughing: http://www.amazon.com/Haribo-Sugar-Free-Gummy-Bears/dp/B008JELLCA Mike.

My son and I joke about that in our shop as well. Mike.

Thank you. I think I may have overbuilt it but I tend to do that.:D Mike.

Thanks Brian. I appreciate that. Mike.

Nate, the 3M part number is 8367. It is paintable and stay flexible. Mike.

Very nicely done Nate. That thing turned out awesome. Mike.

Thanks Nate. Your trailer is far from a hack job, it has turned out great. You should be proud of it. I used 3M's Urethane seam sealer, the kind in a metal tube that goes into a standard 1/10th gallon caulking gun. I can't remember the part # but I can get it when I get home. I just picked...

Yes, I thought of that and the ramp has quite a large range of motion in which it will engage with the flat bar. The pictures make it look like it is quite tight but they will go almost flat out to lower than ground level such as if the trailer was high and the ramps were in a dip or low spot...

Thanks Russ, I got thinking about that and have convinced myself to look at even further back, closer to the axle. That way for sure it won't have any chance of dragging. I am not 100% sure yet as to the underside as I will do some location testing tonight. Worse case scenario is I will mount...

Thanks Steve. I appreciate that. Mike.

I completed my ramp modifications, the ramp storage configuration and my ramp attachment system last night. I used some existing aluminum ramps and just cut them down and modified them for my trailer project. First thing was to remove the tall side that existed on one side of each ramp. I...

WOW!! I have never seen that one before and pretty much all I ever use are WIX filters. Well NAPA Gold, but those are WIX. Mike.

I had about an hour last night between other tasks so I decided to fabricate my tail light boxes and get them ready to weld onto the deck of the trailer. I used 2"x4"x.188" tubing, cut the radii for the tail lights with a 2.5" hole saw, drilled the hole in the side for the small LED marker...
