homemade guide bunks

[cedarjunki]

having more time than money on my hands tend to lead to more and more diy projects..
a couple hours and bits and pieces laying around came up with these...


just had to buy the pvc end caps to top them off.
need another can of cold galv to touch them up.

look ok?

Look fine to me Plenty rugged and good use of materials on hand.

Nice. Looks clean and capable. I've been thinking about making some for my trailer. What are yours- metal pipes bolted on?....cant see too well by pics, looks like you did a nice job.

Re: homemade guide bunks

thanks guys....

there actually galvanized pipe to match the trailer with plain old exhaust clamps which make them adjustable too.
i didnt acually have to cut/angle and weld them if i left them lower. but i liked the higher ones i had on my other trailer, helps to see while backing up empty. a few ramps here start pretty steep and you loose sight of the trailer.

the boat sits just 2" inside the fenders on this trailer so i figured better safe than sorry.


rosser1............no pics? wtf... just kidding... go take some!

OH MY GOD, MAN!!!!

That is just beautiful.

Brings a tear to my eye. Did something similar myself, but I don't think it will be as strong as your design.

the only movement or flex is only what the trailer frame allows! with most of my weight pulling on the top they give about 3/4 of an inch, hope there not too solid. :/

glad to see atleast a few people like my ideas


id like to see some pics of what others have done too!!!!

Look great! You did a nice custom job and it would be hard to tell them from ones that were bought.
