Project $1k 19' 12,000lb Deck Over Trailer Build
Well after alot of back and forth between a few trailers, Some real good advice on here and some luck... This fell into my lap today. Its a 16' Deck-over with a 3' Dove for a total length of 19'. After some looking, $300 exchanged hands and I drug it home. The axles appear to be actual utility axles and not the mobile homes axles, the backing plates are bolted on. If this is the case I hope to get this whole project done for 1k. If not... Well we will see were I land...
So far on my list of things to do.
That should bring me to $1k invested! I'm sure I'm missing things and I'm sure I'll blow the budget but hey... You gotta tell the wife something! :grinpimp:
Anyway enough with that crap... Here she is.

So far on my list of things to do.
- New PT Deck & Bolts $200
- Lights And Brake Away - $100
- Service Hubs and Brakes (the hubs spun free so I'm hoping a re-grease is all they need) - $200 (worst Case)
- Wire Wheel And Paint The Frame - $70
- New Jack (The one on it is a 1k unit... :shaking: ) $30
- Tires - $100 (used)
That should bring me to $1k invested! I'm sure I'm missing things and I'm sure I'll blow the budget but hey... You gotta tell the wife something! :grinpimp:
