If its half or less doesnt bother me. As long as it strapped its not going any where.


Unless you are talking about a different hangover {hihi}

These are the cheapest guys I know of for new:

If you are 80" wide, you'll have no problem finding a trailer.  Most of the car trailers are 82" between the fenders.  My Jeep is 83.5".   :(

Get 2 brake axles if you can.  Cheap up front, and easy to ad later too.

What does yours weigh Jimmy?

^ I'm seeing them new for that price or close to it. Looking to stay under a grand, or I can't really justify buying used. Not sure how much I weigh, its just a stock Jeep with 37's and 60's, probably pretty light.

I haven't seen an 18' dove 7000# WOOD with 2 brake axles with new tires (not take off police tires), fenders, jack, and ramps for less than $1805 without a spare.  I looked hard for months.  That one is a diamond plate steel hauler.

I bought a 10,000# due to the beast being so heavy.

5320#'s before the Rock Jock 60's and Poison Spyder Crusher Flare Fenders with soft top with no frame.

I estimate that it's 5700#'s now.  Sound right?

So with a 1500# steel trailer, I was over 7000GVWR.
