When not legal I assume that you mean that the box does not meet code. We are talking a car trailer, which may not have any code for wiring. I know that there is a code just for RV's which maybe would cover car trailers (I have not read it so I will only claim is there is one, NFPA 1192). I...

I am surprised to see that a truck based on a full size pick up could come in as low as 3700 lbs. Could that be for a 2 wheel drive Blazer (I do not know if 2 wheel drive was even available on the Blazer)? Ford never made a Bronco in 2 wheel drive (even the little Broncos first produced back...

I am surprised that your Blazers are that light to keep your total loaded trailer weigh in the 7000-7500 lb range . My big Broncos have a factory weight a little bit more than 4600 lbs. My 24 foot trailer with a steel frame and aluminum skin has an empty weight of just under 3900 lbs. It does...

OK, I found some in progress photos I took when I did the ceiling and wiring upgrades. They are not the best but I hope that you can get the idea. Looks like I did not take any photos of the outlets before I had them installed. I should have put a fresh coat of paint on the side walls but I...

Everything is put away for the winter right now but I will see if I can get out to it and get some shots. My trailer is a basic 24' Haulmark that I got used. It came from the factory with 3/8" plywood on the side walls and an open ceiling. There is about 1" of space between the back side of...

When I redid the inside of my trailer I did flush mounted outlet and switch boxes for the 110 volt that I added. At the same time for things like inside and outside 12 volt lights, I used a standard house outlet box blank cover that I drilled holes into for the switches. This gave me a nice...

That plate would weigh about 490lbs. Works out to just under $1.20/lb. I do not know if that is good or bad.

Should do the job.

First, nice looking place. We have 6 acres with lots of buildings (building site of an old farm). Of the 6 acres, about 2/3 is basically pasture gound with some trees. We try to mow as little as possible (mainly around the buildings and a small amount lawn (plus a pretty big dog yard area)...

https://www.northerntool.com/products/klutch-steel-welding-table-with-tool-kit-36in-l-x-24in-w-x-33-1-4in-h-61158 Yes, that is the table that I have. I like it so far. I built up some lower control arms on it and it worked great. I have found the hold down tools to be a big help.

Be sure to get a wireless remote for the winch. They are a great thing!

I use my enclosed trailer for hauling a wide road racing Mustang (I have around 2 1/2" clearance on each side to the fenders). The front of the trailer is set up with a tool box on one side and a tire rack with a custom built parts storage unit on the other side. The middle was left open to...

Nice Blazers! I like the true big SUV's (back when SUV's were something). I have several big Broncos to go with my Mustangs. The Blazers could be a tight fit between the fenders on the trailer. Be sure to measure.

As kbeefy said, it does not take that much to pull a car into a trailer if the tires have air. When I brought my enclosed trailer a number of years ago it had a 1800lb ATV winch in it and it pulled my Mustang race car in with no issues (I did end up putting a different winch in after about 4...

My old beast is pretty quiet. It is bigger than I need for my space at 160,000 btu (shop is 20x40) but the price was right as it was in one off the other buildings on the place. It has a huge squirrel cage blower on it and moves a lot of air. I am guessing that if it had a fan type of blower...

I have had very good luck with an old Modine hanging furnace in my shop. The furnace was in another building (an old hog building) when my wife and I brought our acreage over 30 years ago. I am guessing that it was at least 10 years old at that time. I moved the furnace over to my shop...

There is something to be said for living in the boonies.

The company that I got my backup generator system from does not require a service fee of any kind. They are a local to me company. They do offer an optional check up and oil change service for around $200 a year. I went with a stand alone 500 gal propane tank for the generator system just to...

Good to hear your power is back. It is a nice feeling!

Sounds like my power company!
