    Why does everyone insist on taking emotion from typed words? The only people that disagree with me here are the supposed Ol' Ags on this board that I have yet to meet. I am more than relaxed, simply typing out a response. Just because a response is more than 5 words doesn't mean it is heated. My lack of smilies is because I just forget to click them.

    brakes on both axles is a bad idea. you will end up with square tires from the second braking axle. Also 2 5/8 is more that you need for that trailer, heck i bet no one even makes it that way. two inch will serve all your needs.

    Depends how thick they are. I've seen some where people reinforced the fenders. Would probably do that just to make sure you won't mess them up. Use some 1/4 x 2 x 2 angle on the top inside corner.

    Just get a cheap 16' car hauler. Remount the plate and replace the lights with LEDs. If the trailer has rubber mounted normal lights, the kind that go in cutouts, you can leave those on. They last very well. The cheap $25 walmart light setup many trailers use suck. Make sure it has new tires. I have started a new policy of trailer wiring where I run a ground wire to every light, eliminates ground problems. Also started using extension cords for the wires because of the double insulation. Solder and heat shrink every connection. Light problems are for suckers.

    Go to Canton, Tx, buy a Big Tex or Legend Trailers 20' Car Hauler with a 2 5/8" ball, 5' neck, bull nose hitch, dual axles and a dove tail. You don't need heavier duty axles for one truck, even if it does have one ton's under it.


    There you happy?
