HOW TO RESTORE RUSTY TRAILER STEP BY STEP (2020)
In this video I will show you how to restore a rusty 5x9 utility trailer and turn it into a robust platform for two heavy adventure motorcycles. Step by step/what you need/how much it cost.
We are going to an adventure motorcycle course in Mojave Desert, California.(ZAKAR RAWHYDE)
It`s 2500 mi (4000 km) away from Florida where we live so we need a trailer.
I was lucky enough to find a rusty one in my neighbourhood and restore it myself.

Good job big Ayn....love the Scottish sign 👍👍🤣
Dang, you went all out of this trailer! Nicely done.
Great video and advice. I was gonna put 2x6 boards but I liked your idea much better. Also cuts down immensely on the weight. And I never considered brush painting. Again, great job my man. Be blessed.
Lol I bought my trailer new for that total price five years ago. 👍 nice job. I have repainted mine too!
Awesome.. i just bought a trailer in the exact same condition.. thank you.
Great video. Your story of finding the trailer is very similar to mine. But I will use 2x6 boards instead of mesh to haul dirt, etc. Thanks for sharing!
Good job
Great job and awesome save on it all
Great job, except, expanded metal floor will stretch over time carrying bikes. If you want really solid, put diamond plate on, yes it is heavier, which is why wood is often used. Expanded steel is good for a short ramp. Good luck...
Very good im hoping to fix up my trailer the same to last me the next 20 years 👍👍🤠🤠
Looks good

Thanks, it was fun actually
Excellent Work! So much better than that old trailer going to scrap. Your neighbor got $100 and some junk hauled off, you got a project to take pride in and saved yourself some cash. I have rehabbed more than a few of these small trailers as a side hustle. It doesn't look like it has any kind of identifying marks left after pulling it from the weeds - did you need to register it as a homemade trailer for your state to get a license plate? I would recommend having your welder put your name and the ID of the trailer on the tongue and a few other spots using weld in case it gets stolen.

@@DarthNihilus863 it was great during COVID, now not so much. but only because I have less time on my hands. I rehabbed about 10 trailers and just shy of 75 riding mowers in 2 years. Probably made 15k.
How did you handle the leaf springs? Take them apart to sand or just stay on outside? Remember to repack your wheel bearings with grease every 10k or once a year. Give or take. It gives you a chance to clean and inspect the bearings, race and the pole it spins on for any hot spots/wear & tear. Provides peace of mind while you are spinning down the road at 60 mph
I can’t find the wheels for that price for both? Your relief came out great awareness job keep up the good work
I love it
Nice work, how many hours did you have invested in labor?
Hi, What size are the trailer Wheels? Also do you have a link on where to buy both tires? That was a good price. Thanks
Good job on the video. Do you have ties to Nova Scotia?
I noticed during the video that you were able to work on the underside of the trailer by flipping it up. I would like to do that as well, but don't know how. Would appreciate your response. Thanks.
I really like what you have done to the trailer and it didn't go to waste. But money wise it would be cheaper to buy a better used one or maybe even a new one. All the hours you've spent, time is money right.

Time is money. But are you willing to work for more money, or work for the trailer?
Finally! Not even a month later😆

You should replace the wheel bearings.
Is that flag a merger of the two Scottish flags? It's the Nova Scotia (Canada) flag with the exception of the white and blue being opposite. The NS flag is all white with the blue stripes and the lion. I've never seen the one you have. Nice job on the trailer btw
