Time for a new trailer

My old trailer needed new tires and brakes so I decided to sell it. With what I got out of it and what I would have had to put in it, I was only $300 away from a shiny new one. The old one served me well and was all over the the East side of the Mississippi in the US. I also sold the winch setup that was on it. That trailer has a crazy amount of cars on it and some of the most rare Oldsmobiles ever made. I was almost attached to it but it was a steal deck like this one and had a little rust starting on the bottom side. It was just time for a new one.

On the way home, it lost the driver side tail light. They are mailing me a new one.

i was talking with a friend of mine on the same subject....my trailer has been everywhere from colorado east you can imagine, and has hauled so many cars now, i cant remember them all...lots of 2 seater AMXs...lots..ive had it since 2004...and its been flawlessly working since..

I want to upgrade but its been so damn good to me..i have an H&H speed loader..i will never have a trailer with ramps again..ever...

i am going to put fenders on it and paint it this summer...everytime i loaned it out in the past it came back bent up or broken lights...i havent loaned it for years..and amazingly...no new damage...

I don't mind the ramps but I use it for other stuff also. A friend had a nice tilt with a 10,000 winch like mine on the front. We bent the crap out of the trailer trying to load up some logs on it when we had the winch maxed out. I would like a tilt of some kind but decided to go with the same thing I had. At least the ramps are out the back and not on the side. Just slide them back and hook them.

All the guys at work have used my old trailer and it is the same as you. The majority of any dents and dings and bent fenders are from them. I sold it and they know it. I am not telling them I got a new one. When they figure it out only one guy will be allowed to use it and that is only because he lets me use his enclosed trailer. You always have friends when you have a trailer...

I don't have a car hauler, but my little ute trailer is a hot item to my friends.

I need to have the approach to my driveway fixed before I get a car hauler. I'll scrape.

Or a pick up truck. I'd like to get an aluminum one but have nowhere to keep it. First need to finish some of the other projects.
