Would have liked to see the axel install. Also the beafing up of the tongue.

[@MR619Can]

wow that turned out awesome!!!

[@akilthebarber]

Wow, very clean work once again Rob!👌

[@djjmsimon]

That's a big build, props for knee current control

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Thanks i can’t believe someone noticed 😁

@@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio Youre the man , ive done my fair share of leaning my pedal up against a cinder block while doing something on the ground lol

[@joebonem7727]

Nice build. One thing though is the copper in the pressure treated lumber can galvanically corrode the aluminum. Happens all the time with aluminum pontoons on pressure treated bunks, even through bunk carpet.

Hi Rob... as usual "devil is in details.." just a comment, use some MS polymer to seal the turning and break lights in order to avoid electric problems... safety the first.. This sealent beam protect interior of chassis and avoid future rust problems inside the plataform. And usually are fully repaintable with all paint availables in the market. BR.

How thick is that aluminum square tube are you using? What did you use as an insulator between the steel axles and aluminum to prevent corrosion? Thank you

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Thanks the square tube is .125” wall and i put some thin puck board plastic between the axles and aluminum

[@lillysfantasticworld7963]

Hey, looks great and like the main frames out of 2x3 tube, wonder what gauge you used?

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Main frames are 2x 4 and i use a .125” wall thickness thanks

[@204orin]

Awesome build! How much weight will it be able to haul with the three 2X4" eight wall beams?

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Thanks I’ve had about 5000lbs in it so far

Question: why did you install all the deck boards with the joint all butted together at the center instead of cutting and staggering them so the joints are not all located in one location? So instead of using all 8 foot boards, you would use a mix of 8’, 6’ and 10’ boards in order to stager the butt joints. It would make the deck look more seamless.

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

I just used what i had , when I built this wood was at an all time high . Thanks

[@americanrambler4972]

@@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio Works for me! I went to purchase some new cedar deck boards around that time and literally choked. I waited for a while until they came down to an almost tolerable price. My wallet still hurts.

[@xtroadrunner]

Where did you get that steel wire from? I have searched and can't seem to find it. Oh and I almost forgot that is a beautiful welding job, very nicely done!

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Thanks , what do you mean by steel wire ?

[@xtroadrunner]

@@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio the wiring you used for the lights? You called it Steel wire so assumed the bundle was enclosed in some kind of clear / wire mesh.

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

@@xtroadrunner yes it’s a wiring incased in braided steel and plastic

[@xtroadrunner]

@@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio I was hoping to find out what brand it is or where you purchased it from. Looks like really good quality.

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

@@xtroadrunner there actually cut off from some type of garage opener motor got a bunch from a friend a few years back and I’m running out unfortunately

[@MrLevilawrence]

how much would this be able to handle in weight? I need to carry a 3800kg Machine

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

It can have 2200kgs

[@allen5638]

Make it look so easy. Let's see that tungsten ground at least once cause of a oops now and again! Lord knows the walkway to my grinders seen more then it's fair share of traffic to and from 🤦

[@santosbonilla2505]

What was the cost and man hour total

[@juvrajsingh9252]

What can't you make?😂

[@TravisDoesGames]

How much does this weigh?

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

1500lbs

[@jackwells1452]

The only part I wanted to see was the axle install 🤨

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Sorry i didn’t show much on that
