[QUOTE="Neal3000, post: 562517, member: 742"] anyone on here ever modified your trailer to make it longer? I've got a standard 16' bumper-pull car-hauler trailer that I want to extend to 20' so I can fit 2 utv's on it so me and my Dad can pull our rigs together and save fuel. I need to replace the wood decking on it so I was thinking while it was off to cut the frame between the tongue and the wheels and butt welding a 4' section of matching C-channel in. Then making some plates to cover the splice on the outside and then on the inside welding in about 6' of rectangular tube that fits inside the channel. Figured I might re-deck with some 1/4' expanded steel instead of wood and add a few crossbraces where needed. I guess my real question is if it will still pull ok, will the weight distribution, tongue weight etc will be ok after this? [/QUOTE]
