If you need more rigidity to the outside of the fenders, you could get some 3/8" black pipe and weld it to edge of the sheet metal. If the tires come up and hit it, they won't be damaged because the pipe is round.
Might I suggest a piece of flat stock as a rub rail over you stake pockets, it will add strength to them & give you more locations to tie down to & use your ramps if needed
Top piece is 62 inches long. The 45 degree piece is 7 inches and the vertical piece is 8 inches. Its all 1/8 inch flat bar thats 8 inches wide. Overall length is 72 inches.
@@kmac9759 sorry Kevin you said the top piece was 62 inches long the 45° pieces were 7 inches long times two is 14 inches plus the vertical piece is 8 inches times two is 16 so all together that gives me 62+14+16 = 92 is there something I’m missing
Make sure your stake pockets are wide enough for your flat ratchet straps to drop through. I bought some straps that the metal on the straps wouldn’t fit through (ug)
It was faster to just cut it with the plasma cutter. I went to the shop I used to work for to use their brake but they were too busy and I didn’t want to wait.

Yeah, they are pretty rigid and I think they will be fine.

I thought about it. Trailer is done though. But it wouldnt take much to add a rub rail and pipe spools to it.
Great video. I’m glad Nephi recommended you.
Thanks, Ill let him know.
Any measurements for the finder the top piece and the two smaller pieces going down each side and what size of material did you use

Oh, i got you now. Yes, 92 inches of material. The wheel well of the fender when completed is 72 inches.
How many hours do you think this took to build
The fenders took 2-3 hours. The whole trailer probably 40 hours.
how much did you spend on material?
Steel was 1500 ish. Lumber was 300, but that was when a 2x6x20 was 20 dollars.

They are standard size for a 2x4. Bought them from the local metal supply. I don’t use the flat hook anyway. The wire hook is the one I like.
Better than paying $460 per set now
Yeah, those cost me 150, and had enough left to make the tool box on the tongue.
Can you drop your tailgate with the trailer hooked up where that jack is located?
Yes, I made sure to check it before I welded it solid. I have about 3 inches of clearance.
No rounded edges?
Nope.
why didn't you use a heavy duty bed liner so she doesn't rust ever. rattle cans will only work for a short time before rust sets in
I didnt have time, soon as it warms up im going to take the deck off and have it blasted and powder coated.
How come you did not scar and bend it
It was faster to just cut it with the plasma cutter. I went to the shop I used to work for to use their brake but they were too busy and I didn’t want to wait.
