I just have a stand up hydraulic press from HF.

Got the lighting all wrapped up! I need to finish putting the upper trim back on, then it will be time to hang etrack, build shelves, and build a movable bed frame. I still have a couple electronics goodies to install, but I'm taking a break to install 3 phase in the garage for the newest...

I would start by getting corner weights for the car at race weight (with driver in it, as much fuel as you would run with). From there, you can calculate spring rates based on sprung mass frequency (I'll break out my spreadsheet since it was lost to the public when MSF went down). Wheel/tire -...

I've been doing a bunch of wiring work in the trailer getting it set up for lights and whatnot. This is a quick test of the lights we're using and the 3 way dimmer switches. Currently debating how/where to put the batteries. I think the current front runner is an in-floor box to keep them...

Peak lateral grip will be found somewhere north of -2.5° camber. You'll have to do some testing to optimize it front and rear.

Back to the door seals. Both the escape door and main door have 2 sealing surfaces, but the stuff they use doesn't work to keep anything out. This ultra light dust seal: And this stuff that doesn't seem to do anything: I replaced those with 3M backed EPDM foam bulb seals (style H) from...

Did a ton of work over the long weekend, but it was all in anticipation for buttoning things back up after the wiring install (which isn't here yet). Instead of plain wood, we wanted to lighten things up a little bit so it's brighter and a little less drab. So, I stained (not painted)...

Highly recommend both. If you can find a turbine tech style front mount, get it - the extra mount points prevent the 2 main bolts from breaking the case. You smack the throttle on and off more often in autocross than you do on a strip. Adjustable ball joints in the front - yes. There's no...

Yep, just let me know what you're going for and we can work through it. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

For as much time as it takes to restore headlights, just buy new lenses. WAY better results and $50 for a pair on amazon. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

What class will you be building it for? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Seal and insulate. I pulled all of the wall panels off: I think this is where the cheapness of the Georgia trailers really comes in. Nothing is sealed below the roof line, essentially. So, I set out siliconing all of the seams that I could find. I started by closing myself in and looking...

Electric jack - yes please. These things are way too expensive to option out up front, but for ~$125, you can put one on yourself. 3 bolts and 1 wire. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Interior wise, the floor was my first concern. Bare wood soaks up everything and gets pretty nasty in a short time. I knew I wanted to protect it, and pretty much anyone who has done a floor in a car hauler has their own opinion of what works. So, this is my take. I wanted something hard and...

Yep - If you want, start a new build thread and give me a mention if you have any questions.

First things, first. Before we get into making the trailer livable, we need to make it easier to pull. Enclosed trailers are giant sails in cross winds, and sway can be unsettling. I'm also pulling this with a 1/2 ton truck - when you have significant tongue weight (upwards of 1000 lbs in my...

I haven't tried it on this one, but the last trailer you could sit the bar behind the top of the padlock and it is enough to prevent the door from opening. There really needs to be something on the "unlocked" side that locks it open.

I like the mattress idea. We usually leave the air mattress inflated during the day, anyway, and it looks like won't take up much more space. I've been thinking about the bar locks and how we secure them open. Not sure yet how I'll do that. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Yep, we'll sleep in it occasionally. Going to have some sort of bed "frame" that we can set up and remove easily so we aren't on the floor. Just an air mattress on it most likely. Current truck is a 17 Ram 1500 with a 5.7. I pulled the 24' trailer about 25k miles with it and it did well. The...

After buying a used trailer (circa 2001) and nuking some axles bearings, I sold it. I sold it with the intent of getting a new trailer before the next season. Thus, the queen needed a new throne. I compared pricing and a fuckillion reviews before deciding to save some cash and get a...
