Badass!!!!! the only word to decribe it!

I hate to be noisy but I was wondering about how much thoses cost... (not yours but car haulers in general)
also what kinda ram is that? 2500? gas, diesel?

The truck is a 2500 turbo cummins diesel. I've had it for about 2 years now, i haven't had many problems withit except trany and that was a $16 part. The nly other problem i'm having with it now is KDP, which is a pin that sometimes wears thru the aluminum housing and falls out. and causes oil leak thru the front assembly. I don't know if thats what it is or just blow by because there is no oil on the ground but its just caked a little in the engine bay. Other than that it lights them up even with Mikes car on the back


The one i got you can get for anywhere from dirt cheap starting at 2500 for a 16footer , but once you upgrade to 6 inch I beams, add better jack, better axles better tires, longer bed longer beaver tail longer ramps electric brakes, gooseneck hookup on the truck, electric brakes hookup, add painting as well instead of priming and you get the better paint, and then you add removable fenders for guys who have lovered their cars.. it adds up to somewhere around $5k, but i had a hookup from a guy that owed me a few favors... so i got it a bit cheaper. The guy that i had built doesn't do many on the side because he builds for the few bigger shops in the town, he sells around 1200 trailers/year.

Thanx for referals, it is greatly apretiated guys!! Hopefully i get enough towing done that it pays off the trailer and maybe pays for some of my time and a few mods on the money hungry DSM.
