A nice sign In the square in the middle of the trailer
Great job feller
Haven't heard "sexy" used so frequently to describe a trailer but I can't disagree. I'm also a repeat etrailer customer and agree they are pretty awesome.
Good job.
Just in case you dont know the orange markers go in the front or the side of the trailer not in the back you need red for the back of the trailer
Good job!! One thing I hope you looked at, opening the truck tail gate. I had to take a similar jack off and weld in a plate to mount it farther away from the truck. Dent in tail gate still there. LOL
Mine have always hit. That is why I don't allow the boys to open the gate when the trailer is hitched. I want to be the one who dents it...
Good job Troy, and done right. I've always had problems with lighting. One thing for sure tho, having a trailer is a lot like owning a farm tractor. If you have them you'll always have a friend that will sometime need to borrow one or the other.
I am going to put a coin machine on the front like the old pay toilets....
@@RedToolHouse that's why I stay poor all the time. Just let them borrow things no charge being the good neighbor. Although that to does have it's rewards on occasion.
Me too🤣🤣🤣👍
the Marker lights are great for backing up at night so you can tell which way your going Looks good Troy !!! Troy I dont know if you know this but those Tires you put on your trailer has a Max speed of 60 MPH after that you might have problems I had the same tires , I learned that the hard way I was on the four lane doing 70-75 and the tires kept getting big knots swelling out on the sides of my Tires I went through two sets of tires before I called the Company and they informed me about the speed rating I had to go with a 10 ply tire to stop my problem I was doing over 60 MPH was the problem they told me it was building up heat and I always need to put the Max PSI in my tire and never use any thing Under a D load range for over 60 MPH
I will keep an eye on that. thanks!
i called etrailer about a bike rack for my recumbent trike. Very helpful in finding me something that would work, sending me link to the rack and making excellent suggestions for additional items I might need. Thanks for the referral.
You did a great job Troy! Look at y’all gettin all swanky! LOL TFS God Bless ~ Lisa
Thanks, Lisa.
Did a fine job on your trailer. When I had one I used to padlock the hitch closed. That was before the days of battery powered angle grinders. Just as well you keep your trailer plate in the truck. On my old trailer it was the only thing worth more than scrap metal price.
Great job on your trailer! I think you won’t need to address this issue for a long time. 👍
Good Trailer to get new logs with
Good job on the trailer restore!
Very nice....enjoyed the video
I liked the time lapse on that wheel bearing assembly, see if the armchair referee's can keep up with to complain as to safety regulations. One reason people chose Virginia was freedom for doing stuff their own way or as dad said, there's right, wrong and my way and you can figure 99% time was his way. Nice job and not wasting what you have. I look at it this way. Spend the money for new and just hook up and go or take say three days fixing one for yourself. If you divide three days into real cost and then take days spent fixing and divide difference and you find out how much money you saved/paid yourself and its real good wages then as at least twenty five hundred or about eight and change hundred a day. Makes you "almost" ready to build and sell. As if on a farm that size you can find time to do willy nilly. Great job Troy and god bless
Did you like my fancy rear seal set tool?
@@RedToolHouse You speaking carharts on cold cement.... those I don't miss myself as it feels like its draining my batteries/LOL. I have a couple of those motorcycle jacks but from alaska to virginia would be cheaper to give you the money to pick new ones out. Costs a fortune to mail freight from here to even in state.
Good job trailer looks like a brand new one sir
Nice trailer good job brother
Nice job.
Went through your neck of the woods this morning. Only took 3times as long to get from Huntington to South Charleston.
Yup, bit of a hole in the interstate bridge. That's mountain living.
Nice restore on your trailer Troy I hope to redo mine when weather improves. I have my plates lock bolted to the folding ramp on back of my trailer. I didn't have my trailer a month and had my plates ripped off at the local lake parking lot while I was on the lake fishing. If they get them now they will have to work for them, at least they would earn them.lol
Tractor Supply is ridiculously high, on all of their trailer stuff!
thinking about Raptor Lineing my Trailer and truck.
Nice job on the trailer project! Really enjoyed watching this come together. I would recommend putting some 3M type reflective tape across the back and down the sides to reflect headlights and other lights. Really helps when it's dark outside. Not sure if it would stick to the red coating or not, but you can figure something out! Take care.
Great job and congrats on completing a project. One down 297 to go lol
No doubt.
Nice trailer and upgrades. Watch the Jack when you turn sharp. I cant tell from the video but looks like it could hit the rear of the Honda
I feel your pain lefty!
It is a cruel world in which we live...
Troy, I just found your channel, and really enjoy your videos. I really like the trailer restoration, and the oiled oak looks great.
Thanks and welcome
I rivet my plate to the fender. Not fool proof but much more difficult to defeat that a screw
Should have titled this video Pimp my trailer. Looks good.
Good job. The mud here would bury the whole trailer.
Texas?
I like the four lash-down u-bolts you welded to the frame. What are they? Where did you get them? Are they working well for you?
here in north western Ont, Canada our trailer plate is $25 and good for the life of the trailer, unless you loss it, a replacement is $17 IF YOU DONT disply your plate on tthe trailer, the fine is the same as it is for any car or truck, $150 fine and if not paid with in 14 days your drivers license is suspended, as costs $350 to have it re-instated, it dont mater if you have the plate on you.. must be a cheap light to brake from just falling and landing on a tool, or you got mad and drilled it to the floor, the lights i install on all my custom built trailed, you can give them a hell of a kick and they dont crack
Our local law enforcement doesn't really care about trailers. I was ticketed for an expired inspection sticker on my truck while towing a trailer with no tags. It wasn't even discussed.
@@RedToolHouse interesting, i have seen videos of usa people building a trailer, and all the red tape you have to go though to get it regestered and plated, here we build them and just go down an tell them we have a home made trailer, you tell the color how many axcels GVW annd as long as GVW 10,000Lbs you pay a life time fee of $25, 10,001 to 25k #250 a year an so on.. ticketed for an expired inspection sticker, wow here it be plates off right there, towed plus a $500 fine a shop has to do an MTO safty every 12 months, on anything 1 ton and up, cosy me about $1500 to get a safty on my F600 a year, lucky if i put 500km a year on it, farm plated
My plate is bolted to the back of the ramp. When the ramp is up the plate is visible
Same way here in Kentucky you do not even have to license it. Like other states.
Not the trailer jack,the lift jack on the tire change.
Thanks for telling me about E-Trailers - very cool site...getting ready to purchase some stuff I think. Do you have a sponsored link so you can get a royalty from them?
Robert Regan the links in the video description reference my account. Using any of those to get to the site will work. Thanks!!
Rear corner markers should be red not amber. Small mundane detail I know.
Well, I guess everyplace has their downsides trailerwise; I pay over $200 every year plus excise tax to keep my two trailers registered, you can't park your trailer without someone stealing the license plate. Certainly can't get away with no plate here, and technically you can't tow an out-of-state trailer with an in-state vehicle...There are upsides and downsides to every state having their own rules. I don't like breaking rules, but sometimes things do get silly.
Nice, but I want to see the pigs. Ha Ha
Every light behind the axle is suppose to be red not red and yellow. Yellow in front of axle.
I don't remember but did you treat the underside of the deck wood also or just the top ?
Yes. Through osmosis. My black hat proves it...
My trailer is small enough to not need registration in ND.
Amazing restoration!
Can you restore my marriage?
That is way more important than this trailer! You can do it!
Red Tool House - Homestead can you restore it?
Nice job, like the jack,what type
The link is in the description and it has all the details.
Can you do a rebuild of your outher trailer
What did you use to paint the deck
Diesel Oil
BUT the axle and springs are NO stronger than before !!!!!
Not looking for a heavier capacity.
Troy I have a trailer with treated wood decking would it be a benefit me to oil the treated wood ? If so how long does it stay nasty like when you touch it getting oil on clothes and such. Thanks like the videos. P.S. email milwaukee see if they will send out some M18 tool for you the electric impact made me laugh a little. Thanks
Not sure I like the trash talking about WV. WV is a great place with mostly decent people.
I joke about my home state from time to time. I have lived here 44 of my 47 years and would want to live nowhere else. It has its problems just like anywhere else.
