Hands down the best trailer refurbish video I’ve ever seen. Fantastic job.
-
Nicely done. I love this type of trailer. I recommend doing truck bed liner on the bed. It will provide enough grip when it's wet out, but not be an issue for a pallet jack.
-
As someone who has done his share of rewiring, repainting, repairing, rewelding and re-everything more than one utility trailer this was a blast to watch. I suggest one small modification: round or clip at 45 degrees those two corners on the fan tail. They are viciously sharp and all too easy to run into with ankle or shin. I learned that the hard way and spent a couple hours with an angle grinder clipping all the angle iron corners on a small trailer.
-
All those gussets are total overkill... and i like it!!! You did a damn good job! 👍
-
Great job. I never knew trailers like this existed.
-
I appreciate your presentation style. Direct and informative without extra fluff. High signal-to-noise ratio. Even the sponsor plugs were helpful.
-
Wow ! Now this is a PROPER rebuild ! That’s a ton of work but the end result is an amazing trailer. I’ve loved these trailers ever since I saw my first one. I saw one being used by a safe and vault company to transport massive safes that were extremely heavy ! Well done . Thanks for sharing
-
This was great, such a great piece of equipment to have around and you did a great job fixing and improving it. It looked like a significant labor but the final product really shows all of the care and thought that went into it. Nice work Chris.
-
Watching you fortify the joints that the manufacturer had missed during fabrication is a really nice needed touch! Those gussets will carry the load much better, and reinforce the stress points. Good job!
-
I'm not a welder or mechanic but like seeing people do quality work(hard)..... lol, this trailer was unique & seeing the repairs really gave insight to the original makers. Also I appreciate the pearl of wisdom concerning the laser cutter when you have an open side of the piece. I didn't Know you'd lose the cutting arc & what you did was so kool/kewl...... I'll remember that one. peace

I love your channel. The father of a friend of mine when I was a kid had a sawmill near Plumsteadville, PA. (Bucks County), and just listening to your mill. Brings back a lot of memories. I’m in Iowa now. (I have a small band mill of my own). My best wishes for Pete, for a complete recovery.
-
Nice job rebuilding that trailer. Those are super nice and after your overhaul, it should provide years of service.
-
Fantastic R&R of this indispensable workhorse. Dig all the reinforcement and corrosion resistance that you added. Really does look Brand new. Hats off, CHRIS!👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
-
As a trailer engineer, I applaud the design of this. Also the cig before welding is necessary. Gives you energy. Awesome video!
-
Outstanding, Chris. That's a really nice addition to the kit list. Well done to the boys for helping out with that too. Many hands make the work that much more fun.
-
So nice to see a build with narrative explaining how and why your taking the steps you are. Almost 37 mins of useful info without any" fluff". Great job building and narrating.
-
More more more !! Well done
-
I have no need to haul heavy equipment. Nor do i have knowledge of restoration or fabrication, but I just sat and watched this entire video because it was so well done. I was thoroughly entertained and felt like i walked away knowing I learned something new.
-
Nice job Chirs! Those are cool trailers! I so want to build my own trailer like that!
-
A good and very comprehensive rebuild, the only thing with it is the colour, all my trailers are yellow as it makes a big difference when reversing in the dark, I am looking to revamp my 6x12 flatbed with down lighters at the rear corners (led number plate lights) to highlight the area when reversing, well worth the total rewire as trailer lights can be the bane of your life, greetings from sunny Scotland😊.
