    car hauler

    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

    by modified do you mean you just ran them over? 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

    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

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

    http://www.uhaul.com/guide/index.asp...-autotransport

    $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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    we didn't use their straps.

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