New Supports

Because the old trailer didn't give much room for anything but the quad, and because the trailer was going to be rebuilt anyway - I decided to increase the size.

The old trailer had a deck that was 6 feet wide, 8 feet long. I am increasing this trailer an additional foot on all sides making it 8 feet wide, and 10 feet long. This means that the supports need to be longer, and since the supports are being replaced, why not?

$120.00 later, and there we have it 6 8 foot floor supports (2 inch angle iron) and an extra foot extension for the original frame.

THEN I tried to weld it.

Preparations for welding.

Another shot.

You can see how much wider the trailer is with the new support beams. I decided not to remove the existing crappy supports. The new floor supports are higher, and longer so the existing doesn't interfere. The only thing the existing supports do, is add some stability between the frame rails.
