For the lock I decided to do a latch on the inside of the tailgate. I kept going back and forth how to find a good looking latch and it was driving me crazy. Then I just came to the conclusion that if I just do I weld on latch inside the tailgate I won't have to worry about a lock and it will...

Spent some time In the garage this afternoon since the weather cooled down a bit. I grinded off the smaller bullet hinges and welded on the larger 6" bullet hinges. These were a lot easier to work with and look so much better. Then I plated the top corners and installed the powertec latches...

Very cool but your really high jacking the thread. You might want to not post so many pictures in someone else's trailer build thread. =)

I see it has a little prop attached so maybe it's for the canoe

Bonus!!! Buy the welder and get this Milwaukee chop saw for $100 or the Dewalt chop saw for $125

Yeah I agree with you. I do like to wheel hard but I also like to keep my truck pretty u guess that in trying to do with the trailer. I just hope I can do a decent job with the bodywork once all the metalwork is done. Today I installed my Tron taillights and cut out all the holes for the...

Let me know if you gave any ideas the weather stripping. I picked up some door weatherstripping last week but ended up returning it cause I just don't think it'll work like planned. I kinda have the same type of gap issues with my lid and tub. Probably about a 1/8" gap in certain places due to...

What wall thickness of tube are you using for the lid frame? I'm surprised it warped that much. For the hinges I decided To do bolt on versus weld just so I can keep a nice finished look the on the hardware instead on having to spray in all the nooks and crannies of the hinge and it would...

Hahah I was thinking the same thing about a tab but then decided against it too! Yeah I'm in that same mode. I think I'm just gonna take the day off from working on the trailer to let ideas settle in but I think I have it figured out now... We will see With a lock on the outside I just...

They were a big pain in *** to work with so I wanted to write them off completely. On my round of errands this morning I had to go To my local welding supply and I was looking at the barrel hinges again and I decided to go with the bigger 6" ones. I think they will be easier to work with and...

Where did you get this hinge? I may scrap the weld on bullets that I already installed and go with this

Yeah neither do I... NOW I tried but with that barrel type lock I can't get it to look smoothly. I also tried the L shaped slide latch and I welded on the catch but couldnt get a good mount and tight close with that style either so I'm gonna cut off the catch tomorrow so I'm still stuck and...

I want to put this out for suggestions. For the latch I was thinking of going with a clean simple approach so I had this idea. I'll weld on the C channel as a handle on the tailgate door with these 2 barrel locks one for each side to slide lock into the tub and with a small padlock to be able...
