No the 2x10s are more than the 2x6s, but the difference is around $50. And the hardware covers most of that. I was thinking for $10-$20 I don't wanna drill 15-20 more holes.lol

 

Does anybody have steelies or a super cheap set of rims and tires. Tires can be very used. Was gonna get a set but they fell through. Anything just laying around in the garage?

 

Damn$$$ poly would make my trailer so heavy I couldn't tow it.

 

Know a guy looking for wheels and tires and has stock steelies. I let you know if he gets tires.

 

Thanks I appreciate it

 

Hey I was talking dad last night on a skid plate can you get a deal on a steel sheet or should I shop around and what gauge is needed or preferred?

 

Got 5 tires on 5 steelies , in the corner chris...

 

i can only get a deal on bulk purchases, but im not buying 200' of tubing or 10 sheets of plate lol. id shop around. i dont have access to a water jet or plazma guy yet. you thinking of going steel, or aluminum ?

 

Thanks for the input, I just remembered wood isn't the actual size. I'll just do 14 2x6s. One bolt in each board per row. Should work good.

 

I would consider 2 per board so they dont warp, just my .02c

 

I thought about doing 2 in the front row and one in the middle rows, the rear still has the steel lip. Haven't decided how many rows to do yet. Was thinking around every 4'

 

Going steel and I'll get measurements and get it water jetted. What gauge is best?

 

consider putting a lip on the front as well ? even though its a pain in the ass, id paint them before you put them on. paint the piss out of em. they wont rot as fast.

 

I've done the paint before it kinda sucks. I'll just oil them like I've done before and with my other trailer.

I have a lip on the front now I have to cut out.

 

2 person deal. cut the current boards out, then bend the new boards in without cutting the lip out.

 

Heard of that, never done it-you?

 

yup. easy as shit. the longer the trailer, the easier. measure out the board on top of the lip, cut it so itll fit (as if there were no lips) stick one side under the lip, lay a piece of 4x4 in the middle across where the board will go and when you lay the board out, it will bow over the 4x4. its actually really simple. the wider the boards are, the tougher it is though.

 

2x6 x 20 should have some bend. I'll hollar at you when its time.

 

Shit....

 

How bout a beer a board?
