I think I am addicted to trailers!

[jonesw3]

I told myself no more buying trailers after I sold my last one.
Especially since I just moved into an apartment and have no where to work on one. But I came across this one on craigslist that I just couldn't pass up. He wanted $200 or best offer. I offered to trade for some items I had sitting in storage ( valued at around $130). To my surprise he excepted.
The trailer was made by the sellers grandfather. To say that it is well built is an understatement. Its 4x8 all steel. Its a little on the heavy side. I'm guessing around 1500 lbs. my long term plan is to make it into a teardrop but for now I am just going to give her a new coat of paint, lights, and new tires. She will work great for hauling my kayaks, bikes, and camping gear for the time being.

Its hard to tell from the bad cell phone picture but it has leaf springs, coils, and shocks.

Sounds like a win- win, got rid of some unwanted stuff and gained a useful trailer

You certainly are in the right place....

Jones, I have the same problem except I don't sell my other ones.

I now have 3 trailers. A 4x6 enclosed hauler, a 5x8 landscape trailer and my custom built 4x6 offroad trailer.
I am actively looking for trailer #4, a small utility type trailer to use when my 5x8 is overkill and maybe trailer #5 a small boat trailer to customize for hauling my canoe.

And as further prove of my adiction, I have 3 trailers that I hookup to my garden tractor too.

Yeah im afflicted with that addiction too.... Boat trailer, utility trailer, RV trailer. looking for a new boat trailer. just sold one of my utility trailers...

I still have my 5x8 utility trailer that doubles as mine kayak hauler. I only sold my 4x6 camping trailer because i was offered way more than I had in it.

Sorry mate do not mean to hijack the thread but I had to share my Local 4wd Porn from Down Under please forgive me

Nice little trailer. Just need to put the springs on top of the axle, throw on some 31" tires, and your good to go. I like the holes under the top rail/pipes design.

Well, I ended up selling the trailer. Someone made me a good offer on it. I told myself no more after that. Well, that was 3 months ago and yesterday I found this while roaming Craigslist.

The seller was only asking$175. I would be crazy not to get it, right?

Not sure what the plans will be for it just yet. I will post any progress as it comes. I'm in no hurry and it will be a slow process on this one. I hope to have it useable by OX east.

Well..... That didnt last long. I went to drop off the new M100 at my storage building and before I could even unhook it from my truck someone pulled up and asked about it. The guy said he had been looking for one for 3 years and asked if I would sell it. I told him to make me an offer. He came back with 3 times what I paid for it. Since I didnt really need another trailer and only bought it because it was a good deal, I sold it. It made easier to sell when I saw how happy the guy was and how much he is going to appreciate it.

Now its time to decide what to spend the money on? Perhaps a lift and new wheels and tires for my other trailer.
