I spose there ought to be some safety crap on here. I'll put a washer on there after the powdercoat.

 

[Bart]

Safety is good.

I've added up the weights of materials used in the build and it's 1,025 lbs including ramps, axle, tires/wheels and anything else I can think of.

You forgot to add 20 lbs of weld beads

That seams like a low estimate to me.

And the tire balancing weights!!!

I know how you like to be thorough!!

There aren't any tire balance weights, though I did pay for them (m@:*#€f**cking Les Schwab)

I did forget a few other pieces of weight. I'm really hoping it's under 1,200 lbs but I fear it may be 1,300.

but I fear it may be 1,300

Still lighter than my trailer

Still lighter than my trailer

But maybe not lighter than mine. @Hickey I challenge you to a trailer weigh off!

I'm down. After the tile is done. Should be about 2027.

In my career as a pro steering wheel holder, I've often dealt with trailer wiring and it's inherent problems. Protecting the wiring from road grind, heat/cold and UV light is always beneficial. With that in mind, I used 1/2" square tube to route and protect the wiring and keep it from getting caught on road debris.

I also need tire stops for the front of the trailer, so they should also be customized. I had Carl help me with that.

Can we take that chicken wire off in favor of more bent metal with dimples? You didn’t come this far just to quit on me now did you?😉

This girl is already too fat, and that would add about 50 lbs. My wife already tried to get me to cover the open area above the axle with a dimple died cover.

I mean, if I have time before dropping at the powdercoater today, sure. In other words,

Ok, looking at rewiring a trailer soon...

I LOVE your trailer wiring routing thingy idea.

You SMART!

And what color will said powdercoater be using?

I am hoping for glitter flake finish... (Think bass boat)
