Not my trailer, one of the neighbors got a "good deal" on it and then figured he wanted it to be 18' instead of 16. I'm charging him 20 bucks and hour, giving a ceiling of 12 hours unless he wants more work done. He paid for materials and I bartered him out of a 2'x8' sheet of 1/4" in exchange for consumables.
Frame rails are 3/16" wall 2"x5" tubing. Plenty heavy for a set of unrated axles, so, if anything, I think I overkilled with the gussets.
The extension is done. Now I need to get creative and "halve" the angle of the 32" drop deck at the rear. Way to steep now, giving only 6" of clearance.
This job gave me an excuse to get around to making an adapter plug to easily run plasma off 220 without cutting off original wall plug, which would sacrifice portability. WOW! What a difference! Now I need a MIG!
