New Detail Trailer! - 06-09-2007, 08:30 PM

Well I just upgraded my detail rig from a little and worn out 4x6 to a new 5x8 with all new equipment to boot. The only thing I'm using from the last trailer is the water tank and sign. Anyways here's a few pics to hold you over, I have to run so I'll post some more pics and some of the specs tomorrow.

Looking good. I like the flooring. That is an odd looking tank.

Are you planning on keeping the ramp on the back?

So I guess that means you like it? Yeah I guess the tank is different looking? It's from Tractor Supply Co., I've had it for a few years so maybe I am used to it. It's a 70g tank. The flooring and frame built to raise the tank are stained and sealed with Thompsons watersealer, hence all the beading of water on the wood. I also have repainted all the metal. The ramp will be kept to mount my current sign on. I am in the midst of having a new logo made for my company, once that is done a new sign will be made to fit the gate exactly.

Looks good.
I would secure the water tank a bit more. I hard stop or the likes, and that strap may bust. Better safe than sorry!

Thanks for the compliments everybody! Yeah I wanted to keep it neat and simple looking. The sides and front are going to be framed in with PT plywood painted black to match. The sign will be mounted up by mounting a piece of the plywood painted black also across the inside of the ramp then 2x4's on the outside painted black will be used to secure the sign to it all.

Yeah your right, there will be another strap. The water tank is extremely secure by the framing we built around it. I drove it around tank empty and not strapped down about 2-3 miles even over speed bumps and it didn't budge. But I'll throw another strap on just in case, better safe than sorry that's for sure!

Here's my work truck. I guess it's a good thing I washed it last night!

Here's my old sign mounted. Free advertising gotta love it! There will be a new sign made to fit the whole back as soon as my new logo is designed.

Just thought I would post some pics of the hearts of my PW and Generator. I did some researching and have found Subaru to be one of the better engines, so I chose equipment powered by these engines. I've been detailing the last couple days withthe new set up and could not be happier with it. It's so much more efficient and definitely more professional looking.

Here's a couple pics.

Nice set-up. I agree that that water tank will need a little more re-enforcement. How many watts/amp is the generator. Is it loud?

The entire package does look neat.
