[QUOTE="chevyrulz, post: 306439, member: 10914"] scored a nice trailer for $450 off craigslist & sold my old one for $200 on craigslist, so i have $250 in this pretty much new 2010 galvanized trailer. i'm pretty happy because it would've cost me about $250 to fix the old trailer up myself as it needed lights, winch, jack, tires, axle, hubs, & leaf springs. so, basically, i got out of doing all that labor: [img]https://img823.imageshack.us/img823/9387/jonnytrailer.jpg[/img] the trailer is a tad short. i've moved the winch as far forward as i'm comfortable, i don't want it any closer or the corners of the hull will be able to hit my tailgate on real sharp turns, they'd hit it now if i jackknifed but not planning on doin that lol. currently, i can turn 90 degrees with about a foot from tailgate to front corner of hull which is plenty for maneuvering in parking lots. ideally, i will extend the tongue 1-2' or add a folding tongue. i'll probably just rock it as-is though. i'm just glad to have a nice dependable trailer, Lord knows i don't want my hard work to wind up sliding down the road [/QUOTE]
