    A few words of caution when fabbing your exhaust... small inexpensive motors (like those found in most low $$$ generators) really like to burn up their valves in the absence of their stock manifold pressure. There is also quite a lot of vibration and movement between the generator/motor assembly and frame (up to 1.5" inches unidirectionally thereby increasing proportionately). If you`re not experienced in this area (exhaust fabrication) I`d highly recommend having it done by a professional.

    Re: New Detail Trailer

    The trailer is sweet. I like the way that you have everything organized.

    I have all of my things stored in the basement until I save up the money to purchase a trailer. Home depot has some aluminum trailers that I have been looking at but after reading a few post maybe I should be looking for a steel trailer instead. The peg board on the wall was a great idea.

    Make sure you keep the post coming. I`m learning allot from your posts and am coming up with a few ideas for my own trailer.

    Thanks for sharing....

    Man that thing is looking sweet. You making me jealous. I just got mine back from my friends body shop. It was painted the same color as my tacoma. I hope to get some stuff in it this weekend. I`m going to post some pictures of the new paint tomorrow.

    Re: New Detail Trailer

    Looks awesome Chris!! Now remove all that Route 66 junk and you`d be good to go. My parents got an aluminum motorcycle trailer that had the word Blizzard in yellow and a checkered flag on 3 sides of it... about 10 minutes and help from the heat of the sun and they had an all white trailer. It looked horrible before when the company name was there.

    Re: New Detail Trailer

    have a few more updates, but only a pic of one...lol

    For the water tank, the vertical was a no-go, so I returned it. Mounting it was far to complicated. The only way that I could figure it out was to involve a welder, and I did not want anything permenant. If I ever wanted to move anyting around, I would be SOL, so I mounted my old tank in the trailer.

    Here are a few pics of the exhaust I ran from the generator and the presure washer. Works like a charm. In the pics, it looks like the hoses and such are close, which they aren`t. The tank is close, but the pipe does not get that hot. I will be wrapping the pipe though, with some type of exaust pipe wrap.





    My trailer has exhaust pipes!!!!!! (don`t mind the vise grips I forgot to remove )

    Thanks AL...

    LOL, I had a guy tell me I needed Chrime exhaust tips on it...

    I forgot to mention, that I insulated the trailer as well. Since we had the freezing weather, I went to Lowes to get some insulation.


    I need to take a few more pics, since it is looking different now. With the water tank in, insulation, and more stuff hanging on the back door....

    The local exhaust place will advertise a special sometimes of "Duals - any make any model for $119.95." I wonder if that would include trailers?:wink:

    WE NEED PICS!!! Trailer is looking good. Sorry, the tank didn`t work out.
