Well guys I got brave today and bought a 36' gooseneck car trailer off of Ebay. It's got new rubber, 8k axles, new brakes and bearings and I gave $3,000 for it : It looks like a darn nice trailer, I hope. Bad part is I gotta go to Clinton, South Carolina to get er :'( Anybody from down there headed up here empty anytime soon ???If not I'll go get er next weekend

 

Congrads on the trailer...8k axles I thought 7k was tops on weight ??...how bout a link so we can all see how you spend your money ;D ;D ;D

 

Man that oughtta be a heck of a haul loaded down.

 

Luke, take it easy with that trailer when it's loaded. Those things are really top heavy around corners. I hauled for some local Ford lots about 2 years ago and pulled on of those things and when you get 3 trucks on one it's quite a load up that high in the air. <br><br>Hauled 2 crewcab duallys one day, had a nice older man come up to me at the fuel stop and he said &quot;takes 2 big Fords to even slow that Dodge down doesn't son&quot;. I got a real kick out of it I laughed and smiled for hours after that. ;D<br><br>DB

 

It is a lowboy style trailer not a wedge. Here is the link, I think <br><br>i.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/ebayisapi.dll?viewitem&amp;category=6737&amp;item= 1876763718&amp;rd=1<br><br> ???

 

Well that didn't work, how do I make a link to it ???

 

Ok, go to ebay.com, then go to the little search thing and put in 1876763718. that'll show er to ya 8)

Sweet lookin trailer 41 ft long ;D ;D ;D<br><br>http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1876763718

It's got a set of 6' ramps with it. I am gonna put better jacks on er. And I am also gonna weld some ratchet style tie down winches to the frame cross members on about every third one.

 

Looks like a good deal from the pic.<br>Now, you can haul that D500 to my place.<br>We could work a deal here. ;D<br>Joel
