The posting of current job pictures is a great thread, I thought I would start a new thread for members to post interior and/or exterior shots of their job site trailers. I have an ulterior motive, since I am picking up my new 16 x 7 tomorrow, and need some more ideas on how to fit it out. :thumbsup:

Hello all,

I recently updated my trailer and I got a lot of ideas from this thread. Here is a list:
1. 120v electrical, Halogen light, outlet bar, mounted the microwave and added a heater to keep the air tools above 40 degrees.

2. dividers for framing/coil nailers. there is much more space now.

3. Line-x on the ramp. Cost $250, I think it was worth it.

4. Cleaned it after a year of use, this was the biggest improvement :thumbup:

I was thinking of a BOB trailer on the back of a city bike.
I've got to redo my trailer as it does not work that well... I've got to figure out what to do with my table saw and chop saw so that I can use them at condo's where I can't get up the elevator and can't work on the property but CAN work in my trailer ON the property? Go figure.

I have seen that thing, and man I been thinking about buying one. My local depot has one shoved under the router bit section, assembed and out of the box on clearance for $199...shows a reg price tag of $299, but i have a bosch and it does all I need, just large and in charge for a job site saw.:thumbsup:

Not sure I want to showcase all of my tools (no offense to anyone). My partner just had a a thief try to break in to his trailer. He has his outfitted with an alarm and we think its the only thing that stopped them. That and the fact that they were so stupid that they cut the swiveling hasp on the trailer with bolt cutters and lodged the lock in place. Then they just moved to the side door. Nothing I hate more than a THIEF

What area of town did that happen in? A few years ago I had someone break into my truck down off Dartmouth and Santa Fe, they stole about $4k worth of stuff that I had piled in the cab because I had a couple big ticket items in there that day. I lucked out though, they tried to steal the whole truck and failed. They borked my whole ignition in the process, had to finish ripping it out with a slide hammer and used a screwdriver to start it for a while.

If they could have got somewhere where they could have worked on the boxes in back, I would have been out a heck of a lot more.

Just picked up my 16' V-nose yesterday and after seeing all kinds of great layouts on here I am going to most likely start my racks and shelves this weekend. I just have a question about fastening to the walls. What is everyone using to attach racks and whatnot to the walls? I think that my inner ply skin is just 1/4 inch so I know it won't really hold anything. Is it as simple as screwing it to the uprights? Thanks for all the great ideas and pics. I'll post mine as soon as I am done putting all the shelving in.

Using some of the holiday down time to remodel the trailer

The trailer is 102"x24'. The remodel on this trailer is mostly because I didn't insulate it when I first set it up. So today I started to empty everthing out and gutting it. I will be insulating the walls, lid, and floor. I will be posting some pics as I go, so any input or ideas would be appreciated. The trailers primary use is for window and door installations but sometimes gets used on some remodeling jobs. So far I have pulled out the bench, cabinets, and shelves. I will also be removing the window and trim rack. I will post some more pics once we have a "blank" canvas.
