Finally got through the whole stupid process and should have a title coming to me by mail in a couple of weeks.
Process included:
Vin verification at an inspection station $15
Records search using VIN verification (which showed that there was no title on record for the trailer) $2.20
Certified weight slip (which sucked because the scale certification was only good over 1900lbs so I had to sign a statement of fact saying that the 1700 lb figure on the slip was the trailer and the 6000 lb figure was my tahoe sitting on the front pad so the stupid machine would print out the weights. So my trailer weighs 1700lbs) $10
Appraisal by a dealer for <$500, luckily the guy was cool and appraised it at $490 $10
Statement of fact that said trailer was roadworthy, never titled, not stolen, etc etc etc.
Pay taxes, title, etc $45
All in all a royal pain in the ass to get a title for my trailer so I can sell it and not get screwed because I only have a bill of sale to show ownership.
Is this trailer as easy to build as it looks? Ryan any idea what Kopecki Welding would charge to build something like this out of channel, on 5600 lb axles, just wide and long enough to haul whatever I might want to haul on it (ie longbed crewcab fullsize parts truck), with a title?
edit: Think I'm going about this the wrong way. 99% of my hauling would be the uglytruck and building materials (and hopefully a couple of snowmachines this winter), and the reason I wanna get rid of mine is so I can get it in the backyard. Maybe what I need is one with 12' treads, just barely long enough for uglytruck...
Jesus that looks like a janky POS...
The rig or trailer? That rig has apparently nearly killed people driving on the street on multiple occasions. The owner swears she's good to go now though.
The trailer is exactly what I want (or want to build). 4ft between the treads so you could throw down 2 sheets of plywood and have a flatbed, stake pockets around the outside so you could have removable sides...
The material used to make the trailer looks way too small and like it would bend with any significant load on it.
trailer home axles?
its also way too tall.
It looks to have some sort of sub-frame under it. I can't tell if it's channel or just angle iron. It would be nice and light at least.
looks to me like it's made of exactly the same stuff as mine, though mine has rails, which should add strength, but mine's never flinched with some pretty heavy ass shiat on it.
Looks like mobile home axles but he says it's got brakes. Didn't think mobile home axles had brakes?
I don't know how you expect to get a trailer like that any lower. It appears to already be sprungunder or torsion axles...the deck is practically sitting on the axle centerline
gawd this seems like a killer deal on a GN

Hippie - I still think you should arrange your gate/fence differently. You now have a titaled trailer, (I would have just sold it cash) and you just said how it has never given you any problems.

Me too! :flipoff2:
Eric, I think JBrown is on to something. Just save some $$ and get one good one instead of getting bled to death (from the wrongful death lawsuits) with crappy ones.
[Joe Dirt] That look like a piece of crap to you!? :D

the idea is a lightweight versatile trailer. I don't really ever plan on having a bad dood tow rig like a lot of you guys that tow a lot do.
I don't like those ridges on the tread plate. Seems it would be hard to get traction on there if the tires were any kind of wet or muddy. I do like the trailer though. Nice and light. Something I will be taking into consideration when I get my next trailer or when I build the bed on the pete.
the twisted customs chassis or the trailer ?
well I like both but was referring to the trailer (which was built by twisted as well)
Here you go hippie... :flipoff2:

Isn't a regular utility trailer is the definition of lightweight and versatile. That one is specifically for vehicles. Why not just fix the one you have? Paint. Tires. Axles if needed.
and maybe some grease for the bearings :flipoff2:Quote:

I would need 28' - 32'. is anyone running dual tires or are singles beef enough? what are some better brands? how well do fullwidth axles fit on low boys? I know I had to take my spacers off to fit on our 20'. I want something I can just drive up on and strap down
30', single, dual axle (7Kea)Quote:

Doesn't your truck need DRW in order for you trailer to have DRWs? Legally?
don't think so should look into that
there are tons of threads on this but basically, almost all trailers that have dual tires require a different driver licence and can't legally be pulled by any one ton truck.Quote:

I am just barely legal with my truck / trailer combo.
I see a buttload of 1 ton duallies on the daily pulling DRW trailers around Houston.
this doosh at a job i am working on has a new dmax and pulls a tandem dually. he also has his tx dot number on his door, I have noticed this more and more.
yep - and you will see that 95% of them have a TXDOT number on the truck.Quote:
