    How I started

    I didn`t want to put all this on someones elses thread and steal it so he is my progression of trailers and such and where I am now.

    First I started out with the trailer hitch rack:

    Then I went to a 4`x8` trailer from Harbor Freight:
    http://www.fordtruckworld.com/gallery/kennyb/724869.jpg

    And Now I am sporting a 6`x10` enclosed trailer:
    http://www.fordtruckworld.com/gallery/kennyb/724868.jpg

    The plans are to swap out the exterior lights for LEDS, chrome the fenders, Chrome wheels and of course lettering on the exterior.

    The letttering is going on in the next 2 weeks as I am waiting for my sign guy to get his new full color printer and we are going to wrap the trailer.

    On the interior I haven`t done much but mount the tank (225 gal) ,the PW and the generator. I also am going to line the rear doors with polished diamond plate and wanted to do the floor with it as well but might go with Race Deck flooring instead.

    Enjoy.

    You can post pictures really easily by loading them up to either TinyPic Video and Photo Sharing or Free Image and Video Hosting - Photo Image Hosting Site : Photobucket.com and then linking the URL .

    *EDIT - It looks like Charles beat me to it. I`m kind of fond of the old saying "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for life.".


    It looks like you`ve come a long way. How long of a time period is this covering? Make sure to keep us updated with any changes.

    Re: How I started

    I know all about progressions with mobile detailing setups!

    I went from a Chevy Malibu with my gear in the trunk, to a Chevy Tracker with my gear in the trunk, then the Chevy Tracker with a tiny 4x6 open utility trailer, then the Chevy Tracker with a 4x8 enclosed trailer, then a Dodge Dakota with the same 4x8 enclosed trailer, then back to the Chevy Tracker with a 5x8 open utility trailer, and currently a Chevy Silverado with the same 5x8 open utility trailer, and will soon be upgrading to either 5x8 or 6x10 enclosed. Whew!!
