my junk trailer is prettier than your junk trailer!

this isn't even MY trailer, a buddy left it with me, and a fellow DTR loose nut and I did a frame off restoration:

this is several years ago, when the paint was solid:




this is in the midst of the water blasting:



and here is the finished result, I could not decide how to seal the deck, and i had 4 cans of various stains, so i poured them all together, stirred well, and
stained the 2x10x10s, and did the edges also.

new wiring, new lights, new stickers.
pretty happy with it!

.. Now we need to paint your trailer rims gloss black, and put a gray stripe at the bottom of the trailer... It'll match the truck...

and of course, there's always the ugly sister:




my dad gave me this, it's a '69 chebby frame, with a locust wood bed.

it will hold 2 cubic yards of dirt (with a SERIOUS SQUAT)
it's a WORKHORSE.

we trailered the wifes bike to Jax Florida, and took A1A to daytona from there,
the interstate is too much for her.


but yes, the bed got scratched first thing: put bike in, kick stand down, and SCRAAAAPE it peeled up the polyurethane.

oh well.

If my decking on my flatbed looked like that I would be afraid to haul anything. But it would sure look pretty being pulled around with my truck
