my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

Well I wanted a trailer couse I just bought a quad and I'll be picking one up for my son here shortly.Well trailers are pretty expensive.I allready have a 16 foot enclosed trailer but that mother fucker is huge and Ill probably be selling it here shortly.

Well loong story short both my son and my quad wont fit on my Dodge so I made this tariler for $350.Tractor Suply wanted $650 for a 4x8.I made mine a 4x10. ;) .

Here are the picts.Hope you like O0

And here it is all done and ready for some 3/4" plywood.I also have to put on the tail lights but its pretty much ready to go.Ill be regestering it tomorrow.Still need to go get some black rustoleum paint and give it a nice bath in black paint.It took me about 4 hours to make it........I just found a new hobby ;)

Soon as clean out my garage, I think I will buy a welder so I can clutter it up again.

Are you going to use marine plywood for the deck of the trailer ?

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

thats ------- sweet.

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

awsome job! :D,
where did you buy your supplies?

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

i'm telling you mexicans can do anything! cook chow mein, making a trailor, it ain't no thang for thems. :D


j/p raffi :-* :ppls good though mang. You know what you should build? A go kart ;)

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

Thanks guys.

No Im not going to use marine plywood.Just good old cheap 3/4" from Home chepot.Im just going to spray it with some Thompsons seal that I have in my garage.

As far as the supplys,the steel came from Titan steel.They are local.It was $64 for all the steel.Its 2"x2"x1/4" "L" caannel.
The axle,wheels,leaf springs and other crap I got at Tractor Supply.I dont know if they have those every where but they have them all over here in Texas.

And Murdoc,that just goes to show why at 29 Im such a ------- pimp.There is nothing that I cant do if I put my mind to it ;) 8)

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

26 here i come....you say 29 like your old or something...good ---- man. is that a mig or a tig?

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

26 your still a pup :P.29 isnt old Julio.I say 29 like im young and Im proud of myself because Ive acomplished so much at my age. 8) .Thats what I was referring to ;)



Its a Miller 175 mig.Its 220v and it ------- rocks!
I was ------- around with it at full voltage on that 1/4" steel and it was burning holes in it :o .

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

Did you follow any type of design or did you just wing it? Ive seen a trailor break off a jeep and run into a cement gaurdrail and get fucked. Guy was lucky it didnt hit anything else. Dunno doesnt look really solid to me?

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

Its a basic trailer design.I copied what has been done by trailer manufacturers for years.The metal I used is thicker than the 3/16" ---- that they use.So no I didnt wing it.I didn my research before I jumped into it.Oh and its verry solid ;)

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

yeah, i see what you mean. if it means anything, im proud of you too man. Not to many beaners get that far in life around where you and i lived or grew up. ::cheers::

::runs to store to buy a corona 6pk and drink it ::

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

Looks nice!

I'm always a fan of a good DIY project...

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

Now you just need to make yourself a REAL quad to put on the trailer. :P

How much is that axle rated for?

https://www.ls2.com/forums/images/smilies/jerkit.gif.....Im going to get a jet kit,pipe,and intake for it.Its fast enough for me.

2000lb.
The 3500lb axle was to wide.I wanted to be able to keep this thing in the garage and still park my truck in there.

And here it is all did-up.It looks kind of funny.It looks like a piece of plywood on wheels. :P

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

Damn dude that came out really good.. you should make a little business out of it.

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

Thanks.
Well,hopefully if my restaurant does well my next venture will be a fab shop.Its allways been my dream to have every ------- tool known to man and be able to fab up anything. >:D

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

If it's fast enough, why do you have to do all that ---- to it? :P

Im runing on 4 hours of sleep and uder alot of stress...**runs to corner and drops to fetal position**

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

Looks nice Raffa.

Where are you going to attach the tie-downs? I don't see any hooks essay. How confident are you that the axel is on straight? lol. I could see you driving down the road and asking yourself, "why is that fucker swaying to the left like that? hahah ;)

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

wonder if you could make a 2 wheel car dolly like that... hmt diy style O0

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

They are black homey.You cant see them......stealth style ;)

They have make these tools called a "tapemeasure" and "square".Nothing you painters would be to familier with :P

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

now you just gotta paint that board with some black spray paint ;D
o and just an thought, what about putting a little gate of some sort in the back just incase ? i wouldent feel safe on the freeway with it all just flat.

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

Agreed. I think some railing would not only make it look better, but it would be a bit safer incase one of the quads came loose or if you use it for something other than quads in the future. Just a thought. :P

haha.... well i guess youve never experienced anything flying out of your turck/trailer onto the highway before! :-X

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

Tie downs p0w3n j00!
lol...No I have'nt.Most if not all of these flatbed tarilers dont come with tailgates or railes.But seriously I was planing onwelding on some pipes on the side and building some removable rails that I could pop on and off.

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

nice. are you gonna slap some electric trailer brakes on there?

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

that thing is tiny, i dont think theres a need for that ???

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

you still should of got the Predator :(

Re: my welder just paid for itself!(picts)
 

Your right.There is no need for brakes.I think after 5000lb is where they are required.This thing will never see more than 1000lbs.

Travis,I didnt like the Predator afterall.I started to hera too many bad things about them :-\.This thing is fine for me...........for now ;)
