Sarcasm?

Sarcasm?

No not at all.....I was giving a compliment. There are guys who use a Mig Welder and can't get welds that straight or clean.

Some nice welds from the stick welder right there. Been welding with it for a while I see.

Thanks, I've been welding for about 20 years.

haha i have some idea

At one point I had both of my quads hanging from the ceiling. They were chained to the rafters like they were driving up the wall. I may still have a pic of that around.

No problem.....I can get quite sarcastic at times. It come with the territory.

Any updates? I am considering doing something similar for my truck.. Something like this with a windowless snugtop added and custom interior..

I would love to see a 6 wheel Ranger... Just dont do it to that one, its too nice.



I do have an update. I got new leaf hangers and 4x4 leafs to make a stiffer leaf pack with. (No pics.) After I get back from vacation (the first week of next month) I'll swap them in and send it next door to be galvanized.

Looks like some quality work. I would kill for your welding skills.

Sub'd.

You should figure out how to hook the trailer's tank and evap into the truck's systems. Use a low-pressure in-tank pump as a transfer pump to refuel the tow vehicle. I am thinking of trying something like that. Use hydro quick connect fittings to seal it all up.

I thought about that.

I mostly plan to use this behind my Explorer, there's no real need for it behind my Ranger... That already has a bed. The Ex is getting the Cummins and a 23 gallon BII tank. I figure I should have about a 600+ range on 1 tank of fuel. I dont think I'll need the extra fuel.

You can have my welding skills or better... It just takes practice.

I would never do that to my truck but I'd love to have a tandum bed trailer!!

@snoranger...

I've been kicking around this very idea for a future project... when I get back to Michigan. What ever happened to the trailer? Hanging from the rafters? I was hoping to see a finished project at the end of this read.

 

[Snoranger]

I never quite finished it. I put it all together before I left that job. It's on the road and I use it once in a while. I never get around to painting it.

It tows great loaded or empty (it's a little bouncy empty, but not too bad.) I picked up a set of 2nd gen 10 hole aluminum wheels and trailer tires for it. The pics were taken before I put them on.

Pretty cool... Glad to see you got it going down the road. I'm sure someone out there would pay up a bit to sport that behind their 1st Gen.

I really hope to get a chance to spend more time camping, hunting, fishing and exploring within the next couple years. I thought about a purpose built camping trailer... but my vision seems to end up with a truck bed trailer that matches the truck.

At any rate... thanks for the update.
