New ATV Trailer Pictures

[BradJacob]

In September I posted a topic on building an ATV Trailer. As promised, I've included some links to the pictures of my build. I also had a little fun by creating a spoof of American Chopper - apptly titled: "American Trailer"

Let me know what you think...

A Little Bit Rusty Before Paint

American trailer Video

I (me) - am the guy in the video who opens the garage door - like they do on the begining of American Chopper... My friend is the one who runs a quick bead with no helmet - just closing his eyes. I yelled at him and called him "Numb-Nuts" and we filmed his bead. It never even joined the metal. So he admits to being "Numb-Nuts" on film!! (Very Funny...)

Final Completed Pictures to come in a few days...

Enjoy - and let me know what Y'all think!!

Almost 100% complete - just need to screw on the tail-lights and weld the "mesh" decking that goes on the tail-gate...

Hope this helps anybody interested in building their own trailer...

Very nice work!
I got a 85 FXR that I use to race, returned her to nearly stock, & still have a Kenny Boyce Pro Street Frame on the rack with a 96" SS, Wish I would finish that one, just not enough time

[BradJacob]

Thanks Iramberson. Hope everyone liked the video. I crack up every time I watch it....

went to utilty trailer but dont see a link for the kit

[Teeps]

I think that might be the wrong link, that is a semi-trailer (eg. big rig) manufacturer.

Could this be the correct link?

Thanks Teeps....
