i finally found my trailer. i am glad i waited because i found the perfect one. it's only 750 pounds, has a toolbox, winch and tire rack. this was used for a Porsche 914 race car for many years. The ramps are long so a car as low as an inch and a half of the ground can be dragged up with no scrapping. i told my wife this was not just for me but that I'd try to make some money with it. I can regain some of the cost by scrapping an old altima i have in the yard. But if anyone need to drag home a project or wants to scrap something I'm ready. It's probably couldn't handle a huge car or truck. It's many for our old jap cars that don't weigh anything. i am going to try and advertise on JNC/ratsun and try to transport a few classics around the country. I might just try to get a hitch for my Crown and tow my B210 to The Mitty. That would be sweet as hell.

It's fresh coat of primer on it now, the guy insisted on paiting it before i got it. Of course it could use a nice coat of gloss silver to match the truck. I really need a bunch of cool stickers for the box!

cool man, i hope i can sometime. I am going on vacation next week, but after that anytime.

I was wondering if anyone has expirence with winches. i was tested my trailor yesterday on the car in my yard and i think i burned it up. The old car was kinda stuck and when i tryed to pull it out the winch jammed up. It just makes the sound now and doesn't turn. I hope i can fix it, i really like that it had a winch. i have cum-a-longs but that sucks after the winch.
