Pullstart 64,655 #1 Posted Saturday at 02:35 PM I got this trailer last night. It was $300 less than a 5x8 new at TSC. Needs tires. I also need to see if there are brakes on the axles. The seller was a welding instructor. This was one of his classes’ projects and as they plated the deck it shrunk the top and warped it a bit. Hauls great the way it is, and there is a little step section to the top deck too. I’m excited about it, and it was purchased all with profits from one shop job last week. 5 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same one's on my 2013 2500 HD. Real nice when they are in the extended position. Also heated. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 64,655 #3 Posted Saturday at 04:01 PM @JCM these ones are all manual mirrors, but they work great in or out! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 64,655 #4 Posted Saturday at 04:02 PM (edited) The local mom and pop tire shop quotes me $339 for 5 tires cash and carry. I’ll mount them. For now, my spare will ride on the rig until I find a wheel. They are camper axles, but have a funky wide 4 bolt pattern. the same tires on eBay mind you, are $338 for 4. I’m paying an extra dollar for my spare and keeping the local lights on. Edited Saturday at 04:02 PM by Pullstart 12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was shopping for tires, thinking “What are the axles rated for? What should that trailer capacity be? 8 seems plenty. More than that, and I have too much to worry about. Maybe 9. Room for that extra on top.” 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, you should see how Lincoln at A-Z tractor hauls parts rigs into the Big Show! They are piggybacked 3 high I think! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 9,010 #9 Posted Saturday at 09:25 PM (edited) Reminds me of the Pink Floyd (?) album cover with the 2 old cab & chassis trucks called "Pump" My wife & I were at the Mall, walked by the Record Store - that album was in the front window. She asked me "Ya think we should throw a pan of cold water on them??" Edited Saturday at 09:26 PM by ri702bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
