car hauler

[CRaSHnBuRN]

I'm looking for a trailer to haul my 4runner on. It has to have a 83 inch or wider deck with no rails due to the width of my front axle. I prefer bumper pull, but I'm interested in goosenecks as well. The cheaper the better and if the price is right I don't mind buying one that needs a little work. If you know of one or find one for sale let me know. I've been watching the houston craigslist, but for the price most of them want I might as well buy new

My trailer will probably be for sale prety soon. It has a 76" wide deck, however, the fenders have already been modified to allow wider vehicles to fit on it :gigem:

by modified do you mean you just ran them over? :flipoff2: If you're serious about wanting to sell it send me a PM with some more info on it and what you want for it

[AggieTJ2007]

i might be interested too, I am looking for a reasonably priced trailer as well, but I am not as wide

big tex himself bought our dinner tonight, i think he's got a cool pocket knife too.

My Father in Law is trying to sell a trailer that's been sitting on his property for a while. Doubt it's wide enough but he's selling it cheap - probably would take $250 to $300. Let me know if you are interested.

75" rail to rail,
16" long
Axles welded to frame
Newish tires

if i werent for the axles being welded to the frame i would do it. that looks like a great junk hauler.

[Graystroke]

Was thinking about a trailer the other day after we talked and thought about this...

$50 to rent for a weekend and they have 79.5" wide decks on the "newer models". I think you were talking about an 83" wide deck or something, but this could work for the Clayton trip with some changing out of tires.

[BMFScout]

You can fit a scout on it, ask me how I know. you just have to tell them you're towing a cavalier, not a offroad rig. Also you need their gay ass light adapters, otherwise a pretty decent trailer. I don't think you'll get it that cheap, but what do I know.

[jerryg79]

I've heard the straps on the front only fit upto 31" tires.

[JB]

never posted pics.

20ft
5200lb axles
removable fenders that suck
new tires with spare
painted to match truck
4 ft dovetail.

A few things that I want to do to it, but overall, a great trailer. I have been using the crap out of it to.

we didn't use their straps.

I like that trailer, we need a spare tire mount like that on my dad's trailer.

[JeepPhisherman]

Where'd you buy it and how much dinero (ballpark)?

[BMFScout]

my $1200 trailer! :)

I knew Uhaul had trailers, but knowing the way their stuff is taken care of, I'm leary of using it. I need to call around to some of the local trailer places and see if they rent car haulers or not.

[jerryg79]

but no one pulls their trailers over 45 mph, to do otherwise would be disregarding the warning prominently placed on the fender.

that countryside trailers place rents trailers i believe.

[bburris]

U-Haul trailers are ok. It's more like $80 for a couple of days, but it's not bad in a pinch. There are strap loops all over the trailer in the middle section so I just drove over the tire straps and used my own. They have inertia brakes, also, so you can get away with not having trailer brakes on your truck. Just tell them you're moving and you have a couple of project cars that need to be moved over the weekend, they charge more if you leave town.

I rented one from a place in bryan, then ended up buying the trailer & they deducted the rental fee from the price ($1k-$125). It's a larger tandem with beefier axles (3700# I think?). The place is on the right while heading toward the bend in Bryan. IF they are still in business, Cliff was the owner when I went.

[agjohn02]

i rented a utility trailer from a place out west on 21 that sells trailers once to go get my tahoe at lake somerville when the fuel pump went out. it wasnt too expensive iirc.

[crain_christoph]

when is clayton??? I work at a u-haul place so i could probably get a deal on a trailer but i would then need a ride to clayton. any takers?

[Sharpe]

You can ride with me in the crewcab. The trip is Dec. 13-16

[BMFScout]

good deal?

[CRaSHnBuRN]

I think I found a good deal here in houston, hopefully I'll know for sure in a day or so
