Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to check out the fender width. I'd really like to find something with drive over fenders or extra wide but those seem few and far between

I wouldn't waste my time on that one...

mobile home axles?

mobile home axles?
Yikes - I'm assuming thats a home-made unit
-
Deals on trailers are few and far between. Be careful about older trailers that haven’t had the axles or hubs properly maintained. Most of the time you’re ahead of the game to buy new or from someone that you know. Good luck.

Thats the pictures that go with the one Kirk mentioned

this ^^^ I looked time and time again when I was ready to go bigger and it never came out right $ wise to try and make something work. Find a good dealer, do a little haggling and get what you want right out of the gate and never worry about it again. You can find PJs or Big Tex brand new for sub $4k for drive overs, you just gotta look.

Thats what I’m quickly realizing with a lot of these used ones. Not much cheaper than new and definitely not cheap enough to make up for shoddy maintenance.
I saw recommendations in the trailer thread for Ace and Trailer World (Commerce). Any other places anyone would recommend? I called a few out of state places in TX but they wanted like $600 or more to ship. I figured close to the border in TN or AL would help with tax
-
I was about to pull the trigger on a new trailer when I found mine. I’ll second that deals on nice trailers are few and far between.

PJ makes a great trailer. Ping @BigPrince Don for advise.

That's my dream, but I'm already way over budget on the build. Most of the PJ buggy haulers i've seen are around $4k+

Check out Ace Trailers
http://www.buyacetrailers.com/
I have seen their trailers up close and they are nicely made. The owner is a supporter of Crawling for Reid as well.
Can't say that you will find one super cheap, but you should be able to find your spec for a very fair price.

I paid 3200 out the door for my buggy hauler through trailers for less.

I look through their site but haven't talked to them on the phone. They seemed on the higher side plus most of the places I've talked to about PJ trailers are putting $250+ surcharges on them. So far Kingline in AL has been the lowest: $3,700 OTD for a superwide but 3,500# axles
What were they asking vs. what you got it for?

I 2nd Trailers for Less, he gave Bobby and I both killer deals, but he did say they were going up in the beginning of 2018 i believe 5% across the board. We both paid $3500 cash i believe, and he threw me a spare and a mount. Both of ours are 6 lug 20' ers.

Does anyone have any experience with Max Built Trailers? This seems like a pretty good deal "starter" trailer. Going to give ACE a call too and Trailersforless
18', dual brake axles (3500#), removable fenders, flat deck (no lips or dovetail), and 5' ramps. $2,359 out the door

I called ace before my buggy hauler purchase. Left a voicemail and never got a call back

IMO #3500s aint enough. no way getting around the LJ weighing at least 5200# ++, and that trailer will weigh at least 2k, thats 4-500# overweight before you add tool boxes, spares, all that. My 20' PJ unloaded with no boxes or spares weighs close to 3k#, and my old 18' 5lug trailer that was super stripped down weighed 1800#. You need a little wiggle room on a trailer, especially if you plan on making any of the cross country trips or even Harlan or PA honestly.

Changing to 5k axles increases it by $1k. Does that seem right?

I paid around the same price the other folks paid for the 10k 20' PJ buggy hauler. Sam got the best deal of all of us I'm pretty sure though as they couldn't match it when I bought mine. I don't think they can be beat for drive overs. Trailersforless was the cheapest in GA/AL/SC/TN when I called around.
I have thought about changing my trailer setup to aluminum to drop weight and perhaps change out my towrig but it's pricey.

My 5200# Dexter axles cost $759 delivered to my work. Plus, you have to figure in tires & wheels @ $75 each (Amazon).

Nows the time while you have a buyer in hand ;)

So $1k for the “upgrade” seems high. Like they’re not giving me any credit for the wheels/axles they’d be using otherwise

IMO, $1k more for the 5200# axles with brakes on both seems reasonable. I wouldn’t get anything less than the 5200# axles. I would want to check into the construction of the trailer as compared with some of the other well known brands for comparison. Just my $.02.

Yes love my PJ B5 buggy hauler. Mine is 20’ flat deck no dove. Like Justin said I am happy with the deal I got at the time and felt like it was the best value with the axles and trailer width and drive over fenders.
Load trail makes a nice trailer and very similar to PJ

$1135 total for brakes on both & 5 decent, cheap tires. $1k is a good deal.

You gotta remember also the new tariffs that Trump put in place has driven steel prices up substantially.

All's good. There just blanks.

Doesn't look like I'm going to be able to find one before this weekend and need to move the Jeep and axles. Anyone have a trailer I can borrow until Tuesday? Preferably Cumming or closer since I'll be solo Dad most of the weekend. Looked at renting a U Haul trailer but it doesn't look like I'll have enough room to load the Jeep and the axles. Can pay in $ or [beer]

Travis you can borrow mine and I can get that track bar from you.
