    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.

    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.

    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.
