Superpeterbilt Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Too cool Dennis. This is going to be a Beast!! The whole set up is going to me unbelievable when its done. Power on man!
Petetrucker07 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Great start man. I'm guessing your gonna put your KW under it. This gonna be a sight to see.
Tesla Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Thanks Terry....I plan on putting up a shelf just for this Thanks Clayton, definitely the KW will be pulling this load!
Mopar - D Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Dennis nice. Start on your trailer it's going to make for a nice set up with the KW and Dozer.
Tesla Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Dennis nice. Start on your trailer it's going to make for a nice set up with the KW and Dozer. Thanks Dan. The snow has finally melted enough so I can set up my spray booth to vent outside. Now I can get cranking on getting parts primed for the fist time
Old Buckaroo Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Awesome Dennis, This trio is going to be a one of a kind display. What are you going to have there about 3 lbs of resin tires and wheels ? Better build that shelf stout so it does not sag ! Edited March 13, 2015 by Old Buckaroo
kilrathy10 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 No question....This is going to be a BEAST !!!!! You've got an excellent start, too....Outstanding.....
Tesla Posted March 14, 2015 Author Posted March 14, 2015 Thank you Sean and JT! I keep all my builds on foam board...makes it easy to move them around and once a month they get dusted off. At least a double layer for this
tbill Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Dennis, looking good so far, this should be quite impressive looking when done.
Tesla Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Thanks Tom. One thing is certain, it's gonna be big
Superpeterbilt Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Dennis, Im assuming you have a detailed drawing of the axle set up on this beast? Ive always wanted to build a Rogers Beam trailer with the wheels inside and outside the frame(whats that even called?) like this one.

I have a few pics of the Walking beam on a cozad, 8 tires per "axle" if you like.
Mopar - D Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Clayton that would be nice if you can post them

Ive always wanted to build a Rogers Beam trailer with the wheels inside and outside the frame(whats that even called?) like this one. I have no drawing or pics for the axles. What I have in mind is a very basic setup. I'll post pics of it later this week. Edited March 16, 2015 by Tesla

Superpeterbilt Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Dennis man, this is super cool. The time spent making all these precise cuts and pieces is amazing. I cant say enough good things about this build. You definitly have a talent for building these trailers.
Tesla Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Thanks Alain and Terry. So far I've really enjoyed this project
Petetrucker07 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Lookin good man. This is definitely gonna be a beast.
