WT Borrow - Trailer
« on: December 04, 2017, 09:13:08 AM »
Hi all, I'm fixing up an old Hilux and needing to borrow a trailer to get the chassis to and from powdercoating.  So it's a 2x borrow for a couple hours, about 2 weeks apart. 

The chassis itself is quite light and small, maybe 12' long, and I can comfortably pick up one end and drag it around with my computer muscles.

I can get a truck to tow with through work.

If anyone's willing to help me out that'd be great, otherwise I suppose I can go the uhaul route.

Hmm, how close to 12' is it? I have a 12' utility trailer that might work... The rear ramp does come off so I suppose a 6" overhang wouldn't be the worst thing.

I'd have to pull a tape measure to be sure.  Overhang is ok, and I can literally pick the chassis up so weight is not an issue. 

I broke a few bolts off though which is an issue.  Need to resolve that before powder coating, and probably won't have time until the Xmas break.

Well I'm off work starting next week so shoot me a PM whenever. We can use my truck, too.

Where are you planning to take it? I'm considering powder coating my racecar chassis too...

I tried them recently and the tape job for threaded parts was not as good as I'd hoped.  Had to do a bit of filing in some places.  But, price was right.  They have a big oven, so a chassis can fit no problem.

I get the 25th-29th week off, likely will use that time to get things ready.  Maybe we can chat more in January...

I'll give them a call, thanks. Good luck with the bolts!
