I dropped $700 on it. Guy was asking $950, but I used garbage tires as my leverage.That is one hell of a rehab. Nice work. What did the trailer set you back in turd form?
I keep seeing similar trailers for 1500ish, but always seem to need a coat of paint, rewired, and tires as well.lol
I probably would end up with a full rebuild regardless of the condition I bought one in.lol From the manufacturer most trailers are not even painted underneath nor do they seem to have legit wiring for lights/brakes. All said and done Im still less than 2/3 the cost of brand new for a similar size trailer and this one is setup how I want. The frame on this one is heavy enough to put 6000lb axles under if I find that these 3500lbers wont do the job. I did upgrade to 225/75-15 rubber which is a load ranger D vs the normal 205 load range C rubber found on most 5 lug axles.
Id like another 8-10" between the fenders, but we will see how the Ranger fits before I go building provisions for a drive over setup.
