Expedition Leader
Hey expo folks and friends. It looks like the wife and I will be relocating in early April from Northern Virginia to Colorado Springs. Given the herd of vehicles, household goods, and stuff... I may have to thin the herd some in order to get the logistics to move in one fell swoop.
Figured I'd post up my lil trailer "speedy" project in an effort to make room.
Speedy started out life as a speed monitoring/radar trailer used by the military police here where I'm statined. I noticed it on government liquidation and actually won the bid. Pulled it about a mile from where I got it up to our shop on post. Stripped out the radar and gave that to a buddy of mine to play with. Got to looking at it and decided it needed a little more length so set to removing the rear panel. Made up some of the frame extention and came to a grinding hault. A few months later I used some wheel spacers to let me fit my 2 good take off BFG ATs (33x9.50x15. Tall skinnies ) on it to help with ground clearance. That's about where it's stayed for the last year. With this move I think passing it on will be a lot easier than trying to fit it in the convoy. Worse case I will but I could certainly use the cash more. The army is only going to cover about a third of my moving expenses so money is better than a project right now.
The trailer is about 4x5. Aluminum skinned with two access doors, one on each side. The axle is a torsion style which offers a little better clearance than springs. It originally had a solar panel supporting the radar. I'm leaving the 3 batteries and 110v back up charger in it along with the wiring panel. The solar panel will go with me.
If anyone in the area is interested I'd love to get it sold before march. Please let me know asap so I don't start working the logistics to take it with me.
Looking to get $600 bucks for it. That's basically what I paid for it minus the auction fee and not counting the wheel spacers and tires/wheels.
I'm on my phone which doesn't let me load pics. Shoot me an email and I'll send ya some. Or be patient and I'll upload some when i get out of this blizzard and am home.
