@@antoniopena3254 ahhh that’s actually a great time saving idea! Thanks I’ll have to try it! Thanks for checking out the channel I appreciate the support! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

nice!! I debated doing that

gracias y agradezco el apoyo !!

thanks I appreciate it!! yes I do but I made some adjustable D rings that go into the pockets on the side and so far it works out great because I can move them if I need to but I agree it would be nice with a few solid mounted!! thanks for the support!!!

Thank you! And thank you for the support! It is appreciated! 🤟🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks man i appreciate it! Yeah a few things I would do differently now that it’s done but hey that usually happens lol I’m always open to ideas tho what were you thinking thanks for the support 🤟🤟🤟

I would of put the metal down on the previous cross members so I would have that little lip on the sides. And the purpose of having the lip would be just in case you dropped a socket or bolt something like that, and if you forget to pick up and leave it'll stay on the trailer till you got home. And using the preexisting cross members would save on weight. But it wouldn't save a whole lot on weight cause you probably didn't add no more then 150lbs adding the new cross members.

@@shanesimpson6921 ahhh I didn’t even think about that that’s actually a really good idea! Only thing I didn’t like was how thin the old ones were mine were like double the thickness and a lot closer together I do like the lip idea tho! It actually would have worked out good! I’ll have to remember that doubt I’ll do it again tho tbh lol

@@shanesimpson6921 ahhh just thought of one issue with that the factory dove tail was steel deck and it was at the top so I would have had to cut that up or make a step down I think that’s what made me do it how I did it without thinking twice

Yeah I didn't think about the dove tail being up flush with the boards lol. Usually after you get a project done you come up with better ideas that you would of done it differently at least that's how it is for me.

That’s great to hear! The trailer is still doing great over a year later and thousands of miles! Good luck on your project and thanks for the support!!!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍👍👍👍

On the braces going under the trailer?

@@bought2build weather seal tape on braces

@@danpayan9468 oh ok I gotcha it probably would have melted/ caught fire when I welded them to the diamond plate from underneath tho but I agree if they were not welded would work god

yeah would have been nice! originally I had planned to weld it so I needed steel but in the end bolted anyway

Thank you!!!

@@bought2build man yall did a good job where yall from I need mines done😂😂😂😂

@@mikelarry736 thanks man I appreciate it! Lol and CT haha thanks for checking out the channel I appreciate the support 👍👍👍🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

very good to know thank you!!!

thank you I am very happy with it, we have towed the hellcat on it a few times and so far so good!! as for square tubing originally I was going too but they didn't have any for the wood deck from the factory and only had angle iron every few feet so I added angle every 12 inches its extremely solid so far! thanks for the support!!!!!

@Bought2Build cool man. Will be lighter without the tube too.

@@JamesWide yeah absolutely! We definitely added a lot of weight to it but with the extra weight and hellcat we are still just under the max honestly impressed with this trailer tho from the day I got it this thing has always towed extremely well especially on the highway!

What do you mean? Like the metal floor? There wasn’t enough support and they were too far down also I just wanted it as solid as possible with the least flex 👍👍🤟🤟🤟

Not what I was trying to get off I deal with mill scale all the time this was some type of paint or coating that the factory used on them I got the sheets used from an old military factory that was going to be demolished and they had these as flooring in some spots for who knows how many years 🤟🤟👍👍🤟

Nice

honestly probably around 1000LB

yeah he is pretty quiet lol but yeah we have all kinds of chairs the roll around chairs and stools and stuff but he's not good at sitting back he's always gotta be doing something a lot of times I have to be the one to tell him hey relax take a minute lol

There's about a 70-100 pound difference vs cured lumber on a 20 foot trailer. Even less with new pressure treated lumber.

@@BRTowe been thinking about removing the lumber off mine

it could be possible that would be awesome!! they had a coating of some type of paint on them that was horrible to try and get off but sadly I believe they are just regular mild steel as I left some bare scraps out in the rain and they started to rust 😢

@@bought2build even some stainless steel rust, try sticking the magnet to it.. Even if a good quality magnet lightly sticks to the diamond plate there's a very high probability that it's stainless steel.. And if so that diamond plate is extremely expensive.. Make sure you don't leave it anywhere unlocked people are assholes I know from experience unfortunately..

thank you! I use 75/25 argon co2

thanks I appreciate constructive criticism 🤟👍 I agree square tube would be stronger but the factory only had a few angle pieces so I went with thicker angle so far so good with my 4,500lb hellcat on it! I didn't include it in this video but I have a couple guns none of them seemed to want to spray this bed liner I ended up rolling it on 3 coats came out pretty good all and all! yes I am familliar with mill scale but this was something els it was a paint or something had a smell to it " should have worn a mask" but it would kind of melt and what not. thanks for the input and support!!!!

I got all the diamond plate sheets from a old warehouse that was going to be demolished very cheap and then angle iron was I believe $28 each so it wasn’t that bad I don’t have an exact number for you sorry but if you wanted to do it I would look on Facebook marketplace for the sheet metal I saved a lot doing that and then find a good metal distributor for the angle iron or find that on Facebook marketplace to!

It’s been great so far! I’ve seen many factory trailers with thiner steel and far fewer support beams some of them dent up and I’ve seen plenty hold fine so we’ll have to see what happens 🤟🤟

@@bought2build if you load trucks or suspension damage alot using jacks I'll bend the floor up. It's good for cars under 5000lbs that roll

@@Roman-lc4wf oh yeah I mean I just use it for bringing my personal cars to the track so hopefully knock on wood they roll going on and off

No way, that’ll be just fine. That plate looked to be thicker than what the factory used on the dove tail.

Hey I hear ya man everyone is entitled to an opinion and that’s fine. To be honest with you the main reason I did it was for looks the wood just looked trashy all chipped and just ugly the paint on the trailer was faded and ugly as well and I didn’t want to paint the trailer now and then again later when I did the deck so I just did it all at once. Second reason all the metal came from an old military warehouse where I got it for much cheaper than I could have ever anywhere els so it made sense to buy it up. The third reason is because i wanted welding practice and that I got which has made me comfortable to do so many other projects that I have done since then. also I saved all the wood and have since repurposed it as a floor for one of my carports. It may look like I have money to just throw away but I can promise you I don’t. I am just like everyone els looking for the affordable way to do something and using what I have and or can find to get the task done. It all started with having a shield made to protect the car on the trailer. A local fab place wanted almost three thousand dollars to build it and me and my dad looked at each other and said well buy a welder and figure it out ourselves first even if it takes 2-3 tries we’ll still be ahead of the game and then have a welder for other projects. Bit of a rant but I save and try to repurpose everything that i can! Hopefully this can help you understand me 👍👍🤟🤟🤟

Bro, I am following your page simply because of how professionally you respond to people being rude and nasty. I would have the same reaction.

@@bought2build I have a car hauler with a wood floor and use it to move a race car around. I was having issues with the rear u-joint and was sick of getting splinters in my back when I would slide on the damn thing. Wood is fine, but dealing with the maintenance is a nightmare. Spraying it with oil and shit to keep it in a decent condition is a pain in the ass, messy, and slicker than snot when it rains + rubber tires. We strap our junk good, but wood has its own issues. My exhaust blows down and wood + oil soaked + heat = fire. Steel doesn't burn. There's pros and cons to both materials, but I am here because I want to do this to my trailer too. Sick of bug sprayer with linseed, used engine oil +diesel + stink.

What a stupid comment, the trailer looks way better with the metal floor and wood absolutely is not as strong as metal that’s a blatant lie. 😂

KZfaq money!
