That thing is loaded with features. Really nice trailer. *** I just have a Big Tex 60PI-12. 6.5x12 dual axle. It only has a little over 2K miles on it in the year I've had it. |

The last one I ordered was a 50’ Kentucky Electronics Dry Van with a few modifications. It’s the 4th one that we got like it. Pretty plane Jane on the outside but the inside is also simplistic. Rubber dime floor. Screw style 60 gallon air compressor with dryer. We have a full set of tools and a welder in it and then some fancy equipment from Massachusetts and one piece of fancy equipment from Michigan in it. Powered by a 38 KW genset.

I’ve got a dual axle 14’ utility but without stake pockets it’s just not a good all around platform. Also kind of like the idea of round typing in the rails

I like this thread!!
Now that I have. f250, I really want to upgrade to a bigger, heavier haul trailer, possibly seven gooseneck. I would love a dump trailer as well, but wow trailer prices are crazy right now!! 24’ vnose Attached File Interior Attached File 16’ utility. This one really needs to be upgraded now Attached File I have a couple other smaller trailers my dad and I share use that mostly stay at his place. |

Quoted: I have a PJ 16' landscape utility dual axle that I love, but I need a bigger one now. Also have a PJ 12' landscape utility single axle with ATV ramps that form the sides on the front. It's good, but they made a couple changes since I bought my 16' trailer and I don't think they were improvements. Still, big fan of PJ trailers; I looked at a lot of brands and the PJs just by far had the best features, at least around here. https://i.imgur.com/ZUN4QG0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SJ4QG8o.jpg View Quote That is a very nice trailer. I have no need for it but wouldn't mine having it. |

23' Leakin' Warrior
6 x 12 Cargo with ramp. 6 x 10 landscape type trailer, 30" walls. The intended purpose is to haul dirt bikes and a quad when we had one. I don't have pics in my computer. I like trailers. |

Quoted: I've been kicking the idea around about getting a cheap little trailer for mulch and stuff... moreso now that I've got a tiny ass 5' bed I could just use my boat I guess since I don't actually fish with it What's a decent little 8' dual axel going for these days? View Quote @speedracer422 Why dual axle. For that size I would go single. Less things to go wrong. I have 4 with one being a dually. |

I've used them quite a lot in my life, but I've never really though much about them or looked for sale...it seems 10' is the more common small size. I guess I was hoping someone would say: this is the arfcom of small trailers and it's only $2k or something lol |

View Quote Because when you blow a tire or run out a bearing on a tandem trailer you can just go home, doing it on a single axle is liable to cause a wreck. I've limped home on less than the number of tires I started out with more times than I care to remember, and sometimes with 15k+ on. |

Only trailer I have is the Lowes 5x10 I bought from the guy down the street, like new for $400.
He bought it less than a year earlier, when he was um, temporarily rich from a tax refund. Currently filled with junk from the house remodel, awaiting a dump run. |
|
We bought a CarryOn 5x10 with 24” mesh sides https://www.trailersuperstore.com/shop/carry-on-5-x-10-landscape-utility-trailer-3k-with-24-high-mesh-sides/ in 2013 for light duty use for $900ish. It pulls well and does the job but there are better built brands out there for sure.
That trailer is almost $3000 now! |

I've had/have a few but this is my favorite. Sold it to a buddy once and started using an enclosed but I missed it enough to take it back for a trade on something else. Very versatile and pulls easy. I cut the rail off the front, added another spare carrier, can mount box on front, and put the taillights in the fenders. I couldn't do without it.

It was used to move everything my family owned half way across the continent - several times. Grandpa didn't get the axle location quite right - It was a few inches too far forward - which made every trip an "adventure". |

@Rustynutzz, you got your wish!
@Goatboy has changed the name of the "Cars and Bikes" forum to "Cars, Bikes and Trailers". As per Goatboy, "I'll adjust the forum, once a topic gets going we can tack it". @Rustynutzz, start a trailer thread in the Cars, Bikes and Trailers forum and get it rolling! https://www.ar15.com/forums/General/Cars-Bikes-and-Trailers/134/ |

I think I saw that same trailer on an episode of "Southland Bounty Hunters". |

Built this one from the ground up. It currently serves as a kayak hauler. The plan for it's next life is to be 6x10 teardrop micro camper.

Quoted: @Lorax You build that one or purchase? Nice little rig, regardless. View Quote @Flysc Custom built by a local (to me) builder of these. A family biz that's been making them for 18 years. They now have a 23 month waiting list. I was going to build one but between no time and no space right now..... Tough little units. I saw one get repaired in their shop that got rolled 3x at 70mph and they got it back on the road. Quality is good. There's better out there, but I don't need much and I wanted to support this great little company. Attached File |

5x10 7K dumper w/1100 lb. of tree parts. It was a gift to the wife a few years back (yes, she asked for one). I built the sides, added the roll up tarp, 10watt solar panel and DIY'd a wireless remote.
Attached File Our latest acquisition, a 6x14 7K utility with gate mainly used with an S4 Gator. I added D-ring tiedowns, front & rear, spring gate assist and, most recently, brakes for the front axle to have brakes on both axles. Attached File 7K Aluma utility car hauler, mostly used with our small tractors. Attached File A 6x12 box, our oldest trailer. Initially purchased to help move our daughter's stuff during & after college. Later used a lot to move our household stuff from WV to NC after retiring. Attached File A Sno-Bear tilt trailer is our second oldest trailer. Bought after buying the '05 Magnum & giving our '97 Ram to our boy. I installed new decking before taking it to pick up the new x394 a few years back. It was also used a lot during the transition between WV and NC. |
