    Rig Sleds (The Trailer Thread)

    Thought we could use a thread specifically for trailers since most of us have one. I know there has been discussion in other threads, hopefully this will keep it centralized from now on.

    Here's some more links:

    Tried to find the one about Chadnutz overloading his truck out at riverside and then getting in a big *****fest about it, but couldn't. That one was classic!


    Dad and I relocated the spare tires on my sled last night to right behind the trailer box so that you could see the sides of the trailer again. We're going to mount some marker lights on the front of the fenders as well. It was really annoying at night to look in your rearview and see nothing. The tires looked cool mounted out on the side, but they are more out of the way behind the box.

    Next is to build some new ramps even though I never use them and to find some new floor lights. I'm thinking truckstop in Oklahoma on the way to Mizzou this weekend.

    I think it was part of the Original Mazda build thread that he got pissy and deleted.

    I havent towed too many rigs, but this weekend I was really impressed by David's setup. I don't know if it was the truck or trailer, but if nothing else, it proves that a pipe top utilty, if wide enough, is more than capable. It didn't bounce or jerk or anything.

    i ordered on last week and I am going to Ennis later this week to pick it up. 18'x84" pipe top, 3" channel sides, wood floor, 7K axles with brakes on one, fold up ramps. 2,500 bucks drive out, not to bad.

    I hate my trailer. Its only redeming quality is that it gets the job done, most of the time.

    Pro-Trak 32' (27'flat-5'dove) w/ two fold down ramps. It it a little on the heavy side for just haulin rigs (just ask David ), but I bought it for use on the farm and haulin equipment in mind. It has a large beam down the middle to help w/ the torque when you get it off-road, I have pulled other trailers w/ out and it makes a noticable difference. There were some small additions to the ramps made after I laid a 4-wheeler over on me tryin to load it (ramps are too wide in the middle and it was slick from a recent rain).


    Here's one of it loaded up at the house.


    Here is one of the winch hooked up. I just need to make a pigtail to reach the back of the pick-up and possibly look into installing a couple of slave batteries for it.


    Saw this after the drive down to CS after welding the reciever hitch on, guess there was a few embers and the drive down kept them going. Guess I am lucky to not have to replace the whole floor. :EEK:


    Here is one of the "upper deck" I added...

    You can probably get one if you come to the RNG next year.

    I think a trailer like these would be sweet...

    lightweight
    compact (doesn't take a lot of room when it's sitting around)
    unique

    Only problem is it's pretty much limited to just hauling your rig around.

    Do those trailers have ramps?

    I wonder how much those cost.
