    Wow, that's nice. Nice blank slate's to put some great graphic's/logo's/whatever on the sides.

    Mind if I ask how much? You can PM me if you need to. Or better yet, maybe if anyone can supply a link to where something like these are sold?

    Thanks.
    I have been looking around for a used trailer for the past month. I have found a few that interested me, but I wanted a better deal. I wanted something with a side door and 2 rear doors.
    I found a few used ones that ran about 1600-1900. Not bad.
    I was on a way to a job today, and I left an hour ealry so I can look around for a local trailer. Well, I looked and looked. I finally came to a little equipment/horse trailer sales place, and they had one 5x8 left. I liked the style of it. not like all the others running around town.
    The asking price was $1750. Plus TTL
    The final price came to a little over $1900 cash. So, about the same as a used aluminum one. But I got a 3 year warranty on mine. this one is extremely durable and sturdy. I cannot feel it behind my Trailblazer.
    It pulls extremely smooth.


    For everyone else, over the next couple of week, I will be adding shelves and such. I will keep posting in this thread with updates, so check back often.

    Need to put some spikes on it or soemthing, so when poeple bump into you again you'll just impale their car. My old suv, had some person in a Civic hit me while I was stopped at a red light, her car met my class 4 hitch and ball lol, guess who had to be flatbedded and who drove away with no damage

    Nice trailer, seems like a good setup for detailing with some locking shelving in it etc. Like a shelving wall, build one towards the back to store and you'll still have all that floor and side space.

    A good friend of mine races go carts with his son. In the trailer he uses to store and pull his go carts he has this pastic shoe holder thing he has mounted on the side of his trailer. It has all these compartments for putting shoes but he uses it to put bottles of stuff and miscellaneous tools. It's great because it's clear plastic and you can see what's in every compartment. It must have at least 50 compartments and takes up hardly any room on the side of his trailer. It would be great for storing bottles of different detailing products. He said he got it a Home Depot or Lowes. Nothing to do with lettering on your trailer but it was a great idea. I have an enclosed car trailer but I don't have any lettering on it.
