    MaineFarmer Trailer Build.

    Made some more progress last night. Still a long way to go, and probably a ton I haven't though of but it's now rolling! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    MaineFarmer Trailer Build.

    Thanks. With a one year old girl it's important to find your escape, welding happens to be mine. I love my Millermatic! Lays down nice beads and makes it feel simple. I've made a little progress this evening. I've attached the spring perches to my 6000# axle [emoji50] but I got it brand new for...

    MaineFarmer Trailer Build.

    Today I moved from collecting parts and steel to the 'build it phase'. I purchased a used HF style trailer by after peeling the old 3/4" PT plywood deck and checking out the quality build I have since decided to keep it as a utility trailer and build myself a good EXPO platform.

    QuadsBC's 05 Double Cab Tundra Family Expo Build

    Looking nice. Are you concerned about the pivot bending? Looks like that's a different style than I used. I do like the bedside protection!! Looks clean. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    QuadsBC's 05 Double Cab Tundra Family Expo Build

    Looking really good! It always has amazed me how much steel can move around when heated! I'm always fighting heat while welding. I like where you are heading as far as rear clearance goes. The spindle for my swing out is 4" tall on the base. So that's my limiting factor. Can't wait to see your...

    QuadsBC's 05 Double Cab Tundra Family Expo Build

    Looking good. Got any idea how to hook the chainsaw on securely? I'd love to have my saw accessible when needed but I'm afraid I'd lose it or it would take a beating back there... Here's my start. I like the detail you are putting into this! -Jason Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    COSTMAN13's 2001 Tacoma

    Love the truck. I'm working on burning on some hoops and I think I found my inspiration. How does the OME leaf pack handle the weight of your cap, platform and all the gear that goes with you? And a RTT is a game changer! Go for it. This is the time of the year to find them used... Those are...

    Silnylon vehicle awning ideas for a lightweight compact flexible design

    If you are trying to stop heat. Try sewing a sheet of space blanket into the middle of the two layers is a good method. It's how some people make curtains in Maine to keep the cold out in winter. Edit: very cool project btw

    FJ40 Build thread - Hell's Kitchen

    I also enjoy watching your builds, sorry to hear you've moved over to mud. There's a lot of good info there but also strong opinions that sometimes make it hard to find the info I'm looking for.
