Car trailer

[Jimmy]

I guess I am starting to look for a car trailer. Whatcha got? Not looking to break the bank and don't mind doing a little work if its a deal.

They seem to have gone up lately for a good trailer.  I'll keep my eye open for a deal. 

You lookin for a nice one or a fixer upper?

[Jimmy]

Either depending on the deal

My bro has a real nice one but, it is a 3 axle, i think 18 ft and has an electric jack on the front. He might sale it cheap if you have something big enough to pull it. He does pull it empty with his XJ. I'm sure it can be bought under a grand. LMK

[Jimmy]

Got any pictures? How wide between the fenders? Brakes? How are the tires on it?

Easy enough to drop an axle. {toast}

When i was looking for a trailer i found a guy that built trailers to order in  alabama. the trailer i was looking at was 18ft long, 83" wide deck. here are the specs

7,000 g.v.w.r.
3,500 x 2 g.a.w.r.
2 5/16 Ball cast coupler (clam shell as mark calls it)
9x72 tear drop fenders
safety chains
7,000 lb jack
1 ez lube idler axle
1 brake axle
4 leaf double eye spring suspension
4 15" white spoke wheels
4 st205/75/d15 bias tire 1820 lb
5 inch channel tongue
3x5x1/4 Angle Frame
2x3x3/16 angle crossmembers
DOT approved lights
protected wire lights

i was kinda worried about the idler axle, i dont know how they pull, ended up buying a better trailer that was slightly used

No fenders, kinda looks like an equipment trailer but if it is, its for small equipment. Plenty wide enough for hauling a full size truck. Has 2x8 rough sawn flooring in good shape, 2 fold down ramps, painted yellow (fresh), tires are all good. I was thinking you could take the other axle out and then it would be easier to turn it around. If you want I will give him a call in the am and get a pic tomorrow. He traded a broke down Xj for it so im sure its a good price.

That'd be great if you could get some more info on it and a price. I'd like to know width of the deck, my Jeep is 80" wide and having tires hang over is just a little worrisome.

Ill check tom and measure and get pics too.  I gotta go down there and check on that t case for richard anyways. Also need to get a pic of my full widths for my build thread. {toast}

We can build extensions on the side with 2x2 if its within a few inches.  As long as the $$ is right.
