Got me a new trailer last night, tired of always borrowing other peoples', 6'5"x16'. Had to do some horse trading, literally, gave $300 plus the 8yr old mare I had for it to my cousin. He used it for his concrete forms/materials, but had 3 trailers so I talked him out of it. Needs sandblasted/painted, brakes & lights checked, bearings packed, and couple runners on floor for support and she'll be ready to go pick up other projects
...and no, you guys can't borrow it
Anyone got some old Chevy hubcabs lying around?
My new project..
Blazer, I'm envious! Having a car-hauling trailer is something I dream about. Oh, the things that could be brought home with one of those babies...
Then again, maybe it's a good thing that I don't have one after all.

I would say you made a pretty good trade! Throw some paint on here and it'll make a very nice hauler. What's the GVW?

I think it's a 7000# but not sure, it has one set of elec brakes. I know it will haul enough weight for what I need to do.
I checked and regreased all bearing tonight, adjusted the brakes up so they will be ready when I get my controller installed in van. Also finished up my wiring harness to match van and checked lights. Now to make some ramps and fix the ball latch and I can use it. Once I get it all working, I plan on sandblasting and couple coats of red paint.
Already got a guy who wants me to pick up a car for him on Sunday.
Now to haul that little POS red car out of there!
