Ian Johnson’s Big Tire Garage is always a great place to learn stuff and see cool projects, but he’s also good for the kind of stories that save you money. As someone who’s got an old, but very capable car trailer, and who’s been planning a complete makeover for a while, this video hit home. Ian is taking his 6 year old trailer and giving it a face lift, adding some load-carrying capacity, and just making it a better trailer than it ever was before. Check it out and let us know if this inspires you to do the same thing to your old trailer.
Video Description:
This video is a complete overhaul of my 18 foot car trailer with a bunch of upgrades while I am at it. I have had this trailer for about 6 years and it has served me well hauling my rigs all over the country. But after installing the drive over fenders I decided that rebuilding this trailer is a much better idea that replacing it. At the same time I will be upgrading the trailer using a set of twin 5K axles from Lippert with brakes at all 4 wheels.
