Do it. Lots of room for creativity.


I had a blast designing/prototyping and building my trailer. Roof pops like on those too. I want to build them because all the commercial offerings are build like shit. I know building them so stout, like I did, is cost/time prohibitive though.

You guys are making me wanna like...... Do stuff.


I always joked about having a pseudo shop but I already know I wouldn't use it for anything. I'd get it all set up and be all proud and then it would just sit there unused.

But ever since hike skool I've wanted to be able say "I can weld." and not just be bullshittin.

Maybe I should do some fuckin around.

Spent the morning throwing together a little "accessory tray" for the Land Cruiser. Was requested from a customer. I'll make a run and see how well they sell.

I was working on fabbing one of those up myself today.

Doesn't look quite as professional quality as yours though.

Send me your dimensions and I'll CNC cut you one. Gotta be spot on though.
Thanks for the offer. I'll keep it in mind. It doesn't look bad, just don't have a press brake to bend it so its bolt together with some some aluminum angle. Was going to weld it but didn't feel like swapping over to the spool gun and its easier to fit like this.

Just do it. Really not that hard. You'll learn quickly that welding is the easy part. It's forming and everything else that's is $$$ difficult.
