Boys really don't need any extra encouragement when decking out their toys...lol..

Speaking of decking.... as i said before, the deck is too black and no detail ..... i happen to purchase some checker plate from ric at the indy show, made what i wanted and had lots leftover. so........ heres what i came up with .
Please be honest, tell me what you think...

Is the large plate above the axles too much?

what kind of glue and prep would be recommended? the trailer is powdercoated?

Thanks for looking and dont be shy with any suggestions or comments.

The center plate looks good , I would rough up the finish to make sure it sticks better. Could use 3M double side film tape.

I hope your trailer is better than mine , I have have few problems, fit and finish isn't the best, the coating isn't sticking and the screws were coated over and the 1 drop leg don't work very well.

That's scary dude :eek::eek: you just described the issues I have with mine to a tee ! Even the one leg don't work wel, just one! Overall , I'm happy with the look, tires and rims, suspension and built solid. It just ain't a show stopper... Ya get what ya pay for......guess I should have bit the bullet and contacted Izzy. Then you know, your getting the best:)

Thanks for your input :cool:

In this pic the rear bar of the trailer looks like it has a shiney piece of aluminum or sheet metal.. i think if you add that to it as well with the decking the way you have it it would look killer and fit behind king bling perfect ;) I think it looks great! Dont forget to add your reflective tape :)

Thanks Aaron, I see what your saying...looks like I'm buying more checkerplate:D:D
Ohhh yeah, dot tape on order, company logo on the goose neck and a larger logo on the middle of the deck, rear tail lights marker lights and mudflaps, etc....It's gonna be sweet. Time is of the essence, not going to start the major rebuild on Susan's truck till outdoor trucking season is over. I got till then to get this trailer done and then focus on her rig... :D:D

I like the diamond plate. looks good. The tread on those trailer tires look more like drive tires for the truck rather than trailer tire. If they're the same size try swapping them to your truck and the truck tires to your trailer and see what it looks like. Congats to you and mamma on S&M trucking.

Thanks for the input :). I like your idea, I'm going to try swapping tires and if it looks good I guess I'm going to have to order more tires for the third trailer axle:eek:... Ohhh well, between this 3 axle , my quad axle flat bed, and the other 2 trailers I got enough rubber to start my own tire company :D:D
Thanks again for the suggestion, have a great day !

Thanks D D

I love the tires too. I tried them on the truck , they look mean almost too mean. :confused::confused: Makes the truck look like a bush hauler , more gravel road ready. The king of bling is not a bush truck, she's a highway hauler. Besides the tires make the trailer look tough and can handle anything.

Sounds like a good plan to all the above. You could send your trailer but it has to go to the back of the line, and I would make sure it went back the same way...lol Send your cattle hauler, that would for sure end up with one of our logos on it..I want the cattle hauler and dump trailer for my truck..lol..

Me n Sue have been working on the company logo today. This is what we came up with so far.... Still working on finding the right font for the lettering. Otherwise, keep it simple I always say:):):rolleyes:

That's awsome Sharkey , thanks for the info dude :cool:
I'll be going to staples tommorow :D

Lol. Have you noticed how many tires I can practice on? Current inventory is 64 total. I like the gold idea as a contrast to all the chrome and yet is still added bling. Thanks dude:D
