I got your text....nice catch. Does it have a pintle on the rear....if so we could add mine and have a set of doubles.

 

[walkerhunter]

Here we go!

Some I took today

I was hoping you changed your mind and didn't want the trailer.

Anyhoo, glad ya like it and got home safely.

Wow! That trailer has indepenent coil spring suspension?!? NICE!!

 

[jdknech]

how did it pull behind your "bob job"? i was looking at one of these about a year ago, and was told on here that it would shove, and/or flip my 6x6 deuce... just wonderered how it actually did behind one.

I pulled it home with my friends mack service truck also a single axle 60 mph was no issue. I hooked it up and pulled it like 10 miles today up and around some good hilly country, and no trailer brakes it was no trouble. Once the brakea are hooked it should be great.

I am going to miss seeing that thing out at the Hooch. Those new tires on it sure are nice.

 

[walkerhunter]

Yes they are it is aluminum with a honeycomb middle layer so it is real light. Papabear it will get used and seen alot we have 2 week long trips planned in it this summer and the rally.

When I pulled mine back from Redstone it tracked like it was on rails. Even taking it over rough terrain to get it to it's parking place it was not bad......rocked a little but made no effort to turn turtle.

 

[Lonesome715]

I pulled this same trailer a short distance with one of my old deuces. I did not even feel it back there.

 

[Lonesome715]

Oh, and that was before it got the new tires.

You're going to bring that to the GA Rally? If so, excellent! A fair number of able bodied men can pull that thing around at night while occupied. Take a GPS so you know where you are when you wake up.

Nice score on the trailer.

Believe it or not when my building burned in 2007 that trailer was all we had to work out of for a few days!! We had several computers and light/heat and it was a Godsend at the time.
It has been sitting for years now and since the guvment won't let me have any missiles I have nothing to launch/control.

Hope you get as much use as we did and good luck with your project!

I need a good name for this thing. Any ideas?
