You can't do that! Think of something creative to offset the load you've got on the left side!

Firedowg · Oct 12, 2014

I want room too haul whatever I need on it. Coolers, 4wheeler or anything else.

BigBobBQ · Oct 12, 2014

Fine job... good looking fabrication!

Sweet!! That's gonna be awesome.

Firedowg · Oct 12, 2014

Gonna deck the trailer tomorrow. Then hopefully get the tank welded to the trailer and the fire box weld on.

Great looking build you've got going there man... Nice to see such fine craftsmanship from a fellow Michigan resident. Nice welds also buddy. :thumb:

Looking Good. What's the thickness of the tank walls? I have a 250 gal. also but haven't cut it yet so not sure how thick it is. Yours looks like 1/4". I'll be watching this one.

Firedowg · Oct 13, 2014

its every bit of a 1/4". Wasnt too bad to cut. Just used some cut off wheels and finished the corners with a sawzall.

Yeah that puppy is looking awesome. Nice welds. :thumb:

I'm considering doing the same thing, but was going to go with a 500 gallon tank. The 250 looks to be big enough though. What are your dimensions of the trailer?

Firedowg · Oct 13, 2014

Smoke stack is here!!! 6" stainless!!! :grin:

The trailer is 6x10. I wish now I would of went with the original plan and went with the 5' axle. But I could go from a 1000lb (5') axle to a 3500lb(6') for a extra $10. Kind of a no brainer at that point.

Um yeah! No brainer. :clap:
Just settled the deal with my tank. I'll be following this thread and starting another soon.

How many inches between the bottom of that firebox and the ground? She rides pretty low.

Looking good though.
