Budget Car Trailer Repairs

For those of you that worry, this is a stunt double taking the place of Lucky. He is not alone in the shop, he has a camera man nearby, a safety tech ready to extinguish any fires, a makeup artist, and a gaggle of support people. And furthermore, those are safety glasses that change color when working with torches or welding. 🙂🙂

[@FloridaDave]

Don't forget he's wearing his safety sandals as well lol

My first thought would be he should punch the makeup artist right in the nose ;) JK Lucky!

[@martyscncgarage5275]

Its why his name is "Lucky". I hope he remains that way....

[@donmears4090]

The trailer is looking good! You and David Freiburger should invent safety flip flops for wearing in the shop. 😉

[@schnizdawg]

I am so glad Lucky makes videos. He’s literally a walking lifetime of shop knowledge and sharing it with us

[@rayjon237]

Got tired of cheep trailers, Bought a used 12k h&h speed loader 15 years ago,. Beats ramps and with a winch dead vehicles load quick... Been an animal of a trailer..

[@joeroad6618]

Now that you have a trailer, everybody will be your best friend!

[@michaelglick1287]

I just watched a 30 minute video which featured Lucky plasma cutting and grinding in flip flops and shorts, and the last thing he says is, "Stay safe out there." 🤣

[@autometaldirect]

Great video! Nice find! Thanks bro

[@luckysgarageshow]

Thanks buddy!!! Yall are the best!

[@rancherlee]

I’m surprised some states still allow single axle brakes on dual axle trailers. I recently upgraded from a single brake 7000# trailer to a 10,000# dual brake and it was a huge improvement stopping power.

[@nevysnova]

I welded a receiver to the front and have a winch mounted on a plate with a receiver to slide into the receiver on the trailer (so it’s not permanent) and I use jumper cables (so I didn’t have to wire anything) and I can also put the winch in the receiver on a pick up.

[@greghanlon2235]

A true SoCal scenario... flaps and a plasma cutter. Only 1 flinch I could see. Lucky, you do good work.

[@richardharvey8939]

Great deal on that trailer. Only better deal was mine. They paid me to haul off a trailer used once then parked next to garage for 8 years. Floor was rotten and paint faded. Took it home new floors, paint, wheels & tires got a new trailer for 1200$ minus the 250$ paid to haul away.

[@joethepirate1]

In flip flops like a BOSS! You sure know how to party.

Lucky and 12 Volt Dave are my shop mentors.

@UC3aFydC-atpskWWvz0KuxDA You have been reported.

[@Beardest_Fishing]

Coming from somebody that has nearly the same style trailer, I wish I could rebuild mine and choose the trailer fender height. Nothing sucks more than loading up a racecar and not being able to fully open the door after loading. I'd like to drop my fenders about 2-2.5" so I wouldn't have that problem.

[@karriefalon7779]

Lucky Dear. wached you mess with them there fenders. You shoulda used weldable Primer and coated them serfaces between the layers of the frame and the inner fender skirts. Weldable primer you can weld through it with out having to grind it shiny. check it out i use it offten when i do not want rust lines running down from things i do simular to what you did there. ya i live in canada so we see way worse weather conditions, and salt and calcium cloride on our roads, so we have way more garbage to eat up our equipement up here

[@davidparizek6741]

Lucky, wearing flip flops and cutting with the plasma cutter, You the Man 👍

[@johnbarker5009]

Running a plasma cutter while wearing flip flops...you're a brave man, Lucky!

[@sporty196071]

I've seen some people put pins to make the fenders easily removable so cars can be loaded and fenders are out of the way.

[@billscruggs5170]

Air chisels work pretty good.

[@mrbill8542]

A couple of wedge cuts on the back framerails bent down to form a dovetail will make loading lowered cars easier.....

[@gpr8695]

Good job showing us how to do it right Lucky ! It looks great !

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

It's like Deja Vu. I spent the last year rebuilding my car trailer that I inherited from someone else. Very neglected. My fenders were heavier duty but I still cut them off lowered them down 1.5 inches so you can get a damned car door open. I also have ka chunk o chunk ramps. Good idea on flipping them over. Also you should add brakes to the front axle. It would only be another hundred bucks. Honestly I've never seen a 7k car trailer with only one axle brakes. That really must have been a cheap trailer. Safety Third!

[@jeffduggan6427]

You are a bloody legend, flip flops, no safely gear, undies hanging out, finish the job then heck your ready for the beach, lol. Your just like the real people, going on yah Lucky.

[@beezo2560]

Thanks Lucky. I like the bolt on idea instead of welded. Well done ✌

[@jeffjankiewicz5100]

There`s a brave man, cutting with a plasma cutter in shorts and flip flops and no eye protection. Nice job Lucky.

[@johnkovach1033]

used trans.fluid on the old wood deck works well

Good heavens Lucky? Plasma cutting in shorts and flip flops? That sets a bad example for the newbies.

I love the flip flops, must be steel toed

[@hotshtsr20]

One of the best things I ever did to my car trailers was to run 225s on the 3500lb axles. Not so I could haul more than 7,000lbs, but so I could haul 5,000lbs without replacing the tires every other year due to blowouts.

[@patmcnally6]

Another Good Show

[@henrybrundage7186]

Those were safety flip flops! OSHA approved!

[@toddmccarter45]

If you're worried about getting pulled over for silly things you need to get some more of the red and white sticjers on there, it is supposed to be on at least 50% of the side of the trailer per DOT regs

[@hotshtsr20]

Under 10,000lbs, not required. Helpful, but those DOT regs don't apply.

[@all4tow]

Great little video, love the flip flops, I would have been on fire 🔥

[@jasonmorales1846]

Did you try looking for the fender that would swing down like the U-Haul trlr in case you had a really low vehicle?I would recommend getting rid of those crappy lights and installing l.e.d's.

[@robertvanderzaan9681]

Nice protective flipflops

[@theadventuresofcatdaddy6600]

Instead of a new wood floor for the trailer try 4" C purlin. It will lighten and stiffen the trailer. I have done three trailers and it works great. The last floor it will ever need.

[@francisrizzo1529]

Dang, I thought I was lax on the safety stuff, plasma torch in FLIPFLOPS?!? Fry-burger is going to justify everything he's ever done by saying, "at least I'm not as bad as Lucky!"

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Nice score 👍

[@johneken2056]

Hope you made the fenders easily removable, unless you like climbing out of car windows because the doors can't open. Good job other than that!
