Well, i picked up the trailer, and towed two cars already today it was a breeze with this new trailer...

Now to make it even easier need to get a electric winch.

If anyone has hookups or know of a cheap 3000LB winch with a 30foot+ cable that would be sweat!!!

And now i need to have Mike weld me up a plate and a tool box up in there

The best local deal I've seen is at Northern Tool. I got my manual crank one there, the electric is real nice.

It is a very nice setup E. At least I think there is less chance you will be drifting with my car on the back with your own trailer. Then again, you probably would. :3gears:

My dad runs a company that works with truck/van parts/accessories. He's very generous when it comes to 'hook-ups'. I'm positive he can get those kinds of things. PM me with details if you're interested.

Damn nice trailer man! Why did you go with that type of hitch system rather than the typical ball?

Well, its easier for towing, and easier on the truck, way easier on the drivetrain and suspension. Plus its easier to back up if you know, i got so used to backing up the other trailers that i totaly forgot how to back up a goose neck, so it will take some getting used to..

Its big enough for towing even 3/4 ton trucks.. the axles can support up to 12000 lb .. so i can even put Swany's 3S on there without worying about the weight


Overall i'm satisfied with it, only wish it was about 19 feet instead of 22. but oh well. that gives me room to tow whole bunch of other things along with the car like a bike or spare tires, grill etc etc hint hint ..
