This is one of the best builds I’ve seen. Brilliant design and craftsmanship.

Wow, great build! I really enjoyed watching this video and how detailed you explained everything you did. Thank you for sharing your great work.

[mosesg]

Great video! Your narration was spot on, no unnecessary dialogue. I took lots of notes! My project is at 60% completion and will mirror your build, without the Timberlin! Thanks

If you would 45° all your ends, you would not need to cap the the end of your square tubing. Plus, it seals the tubing from getting water and other stuff inside. Just a tip from 42 years of Fabrication.

You are a great builder and Teacher. You have inspired me to build my own Square drop trailer. Very informative and you explain the details well. 10/10

[stoltzk]

Everytime I watch this I think, man that little trailer is bad ass!!! Dude great skills there.

[mikemorgan]

5am Pacific time. That was well worth the wait Buddy. Excellent descriptions and explanations of your concept and design. The camera work along with your voice over really made it clear what you were doing and how. It came out awesome, great work.

Just an awesome home build! Getting ready to build myself, but I’m in the trailer industry, so I’m planning on using a factory built frame. Using a cargo trailer frame for the base, 2X4 tube, and doing some mods myself. Thanks for the video!

[mitchstaskavage]

dude you have great welds and clean asf work. great job

[danshepler]

What a super build, something you can be proud of.

[fschael]

You must be a quick learner!!! Those welding spot are professional grade to my eyes!! Outstanding job!

[jamesmengel]

Great build gave me some ideas to incorporate with mine! Overall loved the simplicity of it!

[freeidaho-videos]

Nice build indeed.

I have a couple of thoughts.

Ice, snow, and mud will build up on those runs of wire from the center to the outsides and drag those wires down. I'd suggest using those loop clamps about every 8" or so.

From considerable experience, I can say those fenders will break those welds from vibration. Actually, the fender breaks, just outside the weld in the heat-affected area. I have found that attaching the top of the fenders to the bed sides will eliminate this problem.

Man, that thing is amazing! Great job! When looking at the tailgate, I thought of a table and sliding or quick release hinges!!! Not sure what the weight is but being able to quickly remove gate that has fold out legs would make a badass portable table for cooking ect. If you had extra hinges on the side or something, you'd only need 2 legs.

I'm new to your channel, just subbed after watching this trailer build. Anyway, my comment regards wiring, In the last 45 years, I have wired more trailers and bikes than I can keep track of. I truely HATE wiring, but I'm very good at it. I NEVER use the connectors supplied. I buy non insulated butt connectors. I slip on heat shrink tubing, crimp my wires, test everything, then solder every connection and then seal with heat shrink. It adds to your build time, but I've never had corrosion in my wire connections. I'm looking forward to watching more of your builds.

[gregorykemp]

very nice. impressed with the craftmanship and engineering of this build.

[TheRightLine]

Super clean, simple, and practical. Nice job.

[melrichardson]
