    I’m a Retired Automotive Paint Rep. (44 years).
    The finish actually “wrinkled” that’s due to applying another coat over the first coat, when the first coat wasn’t fully cured.
    The solvent in the second coat bit into the first and ate it basically.
    It’s a shame, the one heavy rolled coat is all that was necessary.
    These types of products like Trem-Clad, dry & cure very slow.
    2 days between coats at 75f I’m guessing, double the cure time if it’s over applied.
    The directions on the can should have warned you about over applying, and second coat re-coat time.
    Great job thanks for the information.
    By the way, Sandwich chalking between Aluminum & Steel, they don’t like each other and will create corrosion within a year..!

    Planning on doing this soon and really appreciate your methodical approach to the whole project and your in-depth explanations. Yes VHB tape is awesome, I have used it for signage for a few years and it easily survives the intense heat here of an Australian summer, in fact there is a large sign on one of the glass windows in the Sydney CBD, mounted 20 floors up, that is guaranteed by 3M to last 30 years. That's pretty impressive. Thanks heaps.

      Haha no sir, inspiration actually came from a photo of an Australian Truck towing a jet ski and KTM on a trailer behind it. From there I started looking for used jet ski trailers until I came to the realization I was capable of making my own.

    Wow, great videos. Thanks for sharing all the details about the build and final product. Nice thing is you can get a lot of other gear on there with the bike or without. Would be nice to have a locking waterproof gear box, maybe on the front. For my build I was thinking about uprights and a place to put 2 kayaks on top. Maybe even removable.

    • @Adv4x4
      @Adv4x4  3 года назад

      Great idea, I considered that as well. Unfortunately with the wheel chock up front the truck swing out just barely clears it while it’s open so I don’t have room to spare in that sense.
      I’ll be making another smaller trailer made to hold a rooftop tent in the very near future with a rack etc. I will video that as well!

    • @Adv4x4
      @Adv4x4  3 года назад

      (For Virginia residents) First you need to print this application from the DMV website 👇🏻👇🏻
      www.dmv.virginia.gov/webdoc/pdf/vsa22.pdf
      Enclose the $5.00 fee in form of check with the filled out application.
      Mail it to the address at the top left of the paper
      Eventually, they will mail you back an assigned VIN plate and your paper. (You can avoid the wait if you visit dmv in person with the paper filled out)
      Install VIN plate as per instructions on paper.
      Call your local state police department and they will send out a trooper to inspect the trailer VIN plate installation.
      He will sign the paper and return it to you.
      Bring the signed off paper back to DMV and they will issue you a title & tags 👍🏼

  • @justinskywalker
    @justinskywalker 2 года назад

    I don't really know anything about that lock n roll hitch, but I bet being relatively obscure and not at all common really reduces the likelihood of someone stealing it since they would have a real hard time hooking it up to their truck.

    • @Adv4x4
      @Adv4x4  2 года назад +1

      Yessir! Another plus side. I believe the company also sells their own lock for it. Added security in the off chance someone has a hitch available for it and you aren’t around.

  • @Handy.BoBandy
    @Handy.BoBandy 3 года назад

    if you get a trailer that you built inspected do you have to wait 3 years for the title? in my county filing for a lost title if it has no history on file with the dmv you have to wait 3 years after the inspection for a title.

    • @Adv4x4

      In Virginia I had no issues I received a title the same time I registered it for tags after the state trooper inspected it.

    personally living in MN i would never drill those holes in my frame for wiring.. ur frame was solid until u put holes in it.. potentially inviting moisture and rust to eat away your beautiful frame

    Gotta say I've wired a few trailers and ill be damned if everyone I did, don't look as good as yours

      Thanks a lot Jed! I think I spent 6+ hours doing all the lights and wiring. Mainly just because I was finding out how I wanted it done as I went. Next one will be faster for sure.
