Cheap for the budget.

This needs about half the work the last did. Most expensive part will be tires and a hitch for teh truck.

It needs lights and paint.

The old trailer had alot of issues when we dug into it. While it would have worked for what I wanted it would **** me off everytime I used it.

Look at this pic close. See anything wrong? I cant believe we missed it.

all i see is rust and a beer can.....


Pics of the new trailer or ban......

ya the tongue is off center like a ****..... theoretically, it would shift the trailer to the right side causing it to ride the white line and less likely for it to go iver the yellow....... just saying....

looking good you goin to put a spot on the tongue for chains and binders? we did it at work by just welding a piece of steel mesh to the bottom of the tongue. you probaly thought of this already but just a sugestion.

I'm gonna put a box on the front of the deck and a deck over the neck for extra storage. Its only 20' right now. Also thinking about adding a 2' dove.
