My New "refurbished" horse hauler

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,063]

Here are a few pics of my new horse/Terramite hauler... Had to replace the floodboards with new pt lumber, pressure wash, paint and new lights. Last I will need to install new diamond plate fenders and new shoes... Here is what is looks like so far.

Wish I had pictures of what it looked like when I dragged it home It sat in the woods for about 5 years.

Very nice looking horse hauler Steve...like the color of the bed with the black...sharp. :)

Looks great Steve. Like the deck you put on it. :)

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,063]

Thanks all- the deck is 2x10 pt with a coat of redwood stain that the previous owner left in the house I just bought. I just got back from Tractor Supply ... I picked up a set of diamond plate fenders. I will update pics once they are on.

Well done Steve!

Now with a bigger trailer you need to make sure to load it up for the show so you can't bring anything home!

Nice!! :)

[VinsRJ 721]

That'll move some horses!

Are you going to put it to work for Kent and Zagray?

[jimbotelho 1]

butch your right on it will also go nice with any ford including a 150 although the chevy is holding up and im not sure that any ford would like to step on his chevy since it is working for him :)

Lookin good Steve Bo. Can't wait for the finished pics .

[Gerry w 2]

Nice trailer! Are you going to reserve space for us for the next show?? What would the hauling rate be?? :)

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,063]

Gerry,

If you saw my 5x8 loaded up in June you going to the show and coming back you would know I am still about 6 feet too short :)

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,063]

Forgot to take pics during the day but got the new fenders from TSC. I like the look of the diamond plate but once they lose they're shine they too will get a coat of paint. I think they stick out too much.

I have a question...

Would you leave the rims black or would you paint them white or any other color?

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,063]

I will be getting new tires as well. :)

[VinsRJ 721]

I say leave them black.

[dclarke 4,011]

what about a metallic grey for the wheels.

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,063]

I was thinking metallic silver too.

[Shuboxlover 474]

:)

[jimbotelho 1]

steve how about white ?? my choice i would also paint the top rail white to off set all the black just a thought

[Suburban 550 28]

Nice work, Steve. You should have plenty of room to haul home a couple more horses. :USA:

STEVE I THINK I WILL COME UP AND PIN STRIP THE TRAILER. IT WILL LOOK SHARP. RUSS :)

[dgoyette 12]
