I'm 53, female, and I live in Canada. Stumbled on this channel while looking to learn how to do a headlight bulb replacement on my car. Fell down the rabbit hole and now I'm fully invested in off-road recovery, the Golden Nugget, and Layton autobody. What the hell, internet?

[@gordonmurray3153]

@@Sanderly1820 Robby Layton said on his last video that he only had a week to get the Rokon trailer back to Matt, ready to give it back to Ed. The Rokon is painted, so the Bikes and Beards guys can take a day to come over to reassemble it at Robby's. Paul had the GN all but done last Sunday, bar some minor pieces of trim. Sunday is Golden Nugget day, so the handover needs to happen before then, for the video to come out on the day.

Quite a few of us wondered that. Trailers take abuse. Now that it's powdercoated with the zinc base, it will be nearly indestructible.

[@plus790]

Great project and crew, but you had a second chance to fix your mistake--don't paint the underside of the fender gold! It's going to get peppered with stone chips and covered in dirt. Spray it with rubberized undercoat/bed liner!

Ernie is cool, keep him around he is good vibes !

[@michaelsudak6559]

I’d think, rather than "the world’s most expensive paint" on the underside of the fenders, leaving the powder coat would have been better protection against rock chips. Otherwise, you guys do beautiful work and kudos for all the work for a great cause.

[@steveboy3021002]

That's a continuous theme with Robbies Golden nugget stuff. He does top notch show quality work but alot of things are show driven not everyday driver stuff. Not taking anything away from his work because it is by far the best I have seen.

[@David-ql1hd]

The majority of the powder coat is still there - they just smoothed it out and put some paint on top.

[@gordonmurray3153]

I think Robby said that the powdercoat is still there, doing its protecting. All he did was sand it, to create a key for the primer to adhere to before applying the base coat and clear. A twofer!

[@michaelsudak6559]

Yes, I get that the powder coat is still there, but that $1000 a gallon paint is what’s getting hit with rocks and road debris before the powder coat. I’m not being critical of what they do, just an observation. Also, I think the gold fender with black underside would have looked super sharp. But, in reality, I’m just a dude, disguised as a dude, playing another dude and none of those dude’s has ever painted anything except a house. LOL

[@JustNobodyButME]

I had pretty much the same thought. Why paint the underside of the fender when it will get destroyed from road debris. I think it would have looked better with just the top of the fender painted. But having the underside gold really sets off the wheel and tire plus what else is he going to paint that color. Probably has a lot left over.

[@huckhuckhuck]

I love everything about Ed's Golden Nugget story, been following since the very beginning, that's how I found this channel and it's quickly become one of my favorites. I think the trailer ramp should have been full sized instead of a single track. I keep picturing Ed trying to get up the ramp and falling off the side. Then again, let's be honest, hopefully someone will be loading and unloading the Rokon for him.

[@jeffparker3334]

You’re definitely right there. That ramp is narrow. If he stops part way up he has no where to put his feet. That was a big mistake. They just didn’t think it through.

[@tommymoore5099]

They might be thinking about the weight of the ramp if it was as wide as the trailer and Ed being able to get it up/down by himself. He will have to be careful and go all the way though, if he stops, he will fall over.

[@mr.mcewan9261]

I agree, The ramp is not only too narrow it is also too slippery. At a minimum it needs to be covered with a sheet of expanded metal. Would have been much better with a full width expanded metal ramp. I wouldn't want to drive up that ramp the way it is. A wet tire or a slight misalignment and it will be on its side rider and all.

[@paulhall170]

So. Dinner is such a funny guy. Demri is darned cute, and so are the kids. Hillbilly could build a tractor with some baling wire and a pair of pliers, and Robby's mind must be an amazing place to be. Thanks for the gold-plate (did you see what I did there?) entertainment!

[@shawnwarrington6517]

[@davidturk6170]

I noticed you didn’t use washers on the shackles. Also, I would have used them on the chains where they attach to the trailer frame (sandwich with the chain in the middle). Powder coating on the trailer fenders was a good slip up as that area will get a lot of “road trash” thrown it’s way. Great overall job, as usual.

12:26 Does drilling out the powder coat in the holes make those holes susceptible to rust? I don't know what the thickness of the powder coat is, but perhaps predrilling the hole 1/16th inch bigger prior to powder coat would solve the issue on future builds?

Within all the man hrs and shop time and parts it’s probably really close if not a little over that mark. It’s a lot of work doing a frame off restoration. It’s even harder when the parts almost all have to be made from scratch and made to fit because the factory no longer makes parts.

There is an error on the axles. For the shackles and the leaf springs you should use locking nut, regular nuts can not be used because they tend to go loose. You can not tight them completely because it will bind the suspension, You need some free movement.
