Just got a new trailer. (New to me)

This thing needs a lot of work, but it just so happens that I need a project. I think its an old Bantam????

How many posts do I have to have to include a damn picture?

right on... love a good pictar

Looks good...
tho' the floor looks tired...
and the tailgate ugliness looks bubbafied.

can't wait to see where you go with it...
plan on keeping a tailgate on 'er ?

 

[fabriwelder]

Yeah, just realized that my forum name looks something like "fabulous welder" "king s*** of welders" on and on. Was not my intention...

I am fairly good at welding.......

Yeah, I do want a tailgate. At some point a RTT also.

Only problem right now, is the ex-wife gets more of my money than I do!
Good thing I have time.

I don't know that any of my fab will be anything you guys haven't seen. There are some flat out amazing things going on here, and I give you guys all the credit you deserve. I just hope I don't drag down the community....

 

[Mark Harley]

Great start soon it will look like this.

Fabriwelder, you are not going to drag the community down, but the community will really pick you up. These guys are honest, good all around folks with a keen eye for good stuff and projects, they will help anyway they can. Your trailer looks like a piece of cake for a handyman as yourself are one, lets see some photos and details as ya do em. Montana rocks, ssand snow and everything else. Have fun

Good organization of tools in third picture. Are you a traveling man?

Thanks!

Thanks again! Yes I am a travelling man (Boilermaker), unfortunately. Never enough time at home and plenty of money or too much time at home and no money. Wish I could find something else, but......

Not too much got done yesterday, had a friend swing by.....lot of BS'ing.

Then I felt I needed a cart for my little wirefeed.

Took all the pipe off the top rails, gonna replace it with square tubing. Will give me a chance to straighten out the sides a little, I think they are worth saving. I like a challenge also!

The crappy tailgate thing'a'ma'bob is just that. Now its gone.

Thanks man. I appreciate the help. I will definitely need some sheet bent before too long.

Don't know what I am going to pull it with yet. I'm on the prowl. Apparently you can put the cart before the horse.....

Anybody looking to unload an FJ40 for cheap?

His blue JK duhhh

Right? All I need is a 20" riser for the hitch. And maybe a chip. New exhaust, different rear end, extendable mirrors.......
