Weekend is over...what did you get done?

Good finding one for less than half a million dollars.

I found them for 10K - 15K right now. Not sure I want to gamble that much on a rig that has 100K on it. However they are limited and well equipped and very nice.

Ram 1500 with the same motor is supposed to get 29 hwy and tow closer to 10K...but those are closer to the million dollar mark!

Yea I hate the way the Dodge truck looks and am not a big fan of them. I know Toyota and Nissan are putting a Diesel in their Half Tons this year. I'm hoping Ford does the same soon! I've owned a lot of Ford's over the years and they have never let me down. Plus they never took a handout. :yelclap:
 
I love the day when the magazine in the black plastic wrapper shows up!

Worked on the trailer tonight after work.....

I need to build some fenders for mine. It looks pretty pitiful without fenders.

I think I paid $60 for those two with the inner fender.
 
Since I did my extensions to mine I was going to make some out of 2x2 and 16 gauge across the top and side to work with the 2x6's I have nailed to the deck.

I also need to paint the wheels, they're ugly as sin being all mismatched and dirty.

How close are the tires to each other? That is my problem with mine. I had to have a fender to keep the two tires away from each other. I also fit on the trailer and between the fenders fairly well.

Those extensions look good. How long is that trailer? 18ft?
 
My Jeep is 86" wide IIRC. The trailer is now 92" wide and I only overhang off the original trailer about 1.5-2" on each side or so I think. I have 4x4's to act as a wheel chock (spelling is questionable at 1:45AM) so I park in the same spot every time. The rear tires still have a good 6" to go before the tires of the trailer.

Thanks, they were a good bit of work but I like them. They're angled to match the dovetail and pretty dang strong. I added some rock lights up under the deck so I can see the rear wheels at night to make sure I'm in the lane. Yeah, it's 18' long.

This is the best pic from the side I can find.

That is nice. My next trailer will have a few things different then this one. Winch mount and folding landing gear for starters. It's 83" between the fenders and my rear fits and the front depending on front tire pressure fits too.
 
I wasn't ever set on having ramps for this one but after getting dragged from almost the back of Choccolocco back to my truck with a dead battery I'm glad it does. Super easy to get pulled up on the trailer without any issues, I do like how low 01TJ's trailer is though.

My newest trailer (Though it still needs some TLC) is super stout and the tail sits about 6-8" off the ground. I need to build some small ramps for it but they'll be stored under the trailer in the racks.

This one also has that 12k pound winch on the front of it. I'll never own another trailer without a winch on the tongue...

Yea definitely want a winch on it.

It being that low is nice for the most part, but it does drag sometimes pulling out of gas stations and such. I'd really like to build some tougher fenders. The ones that were on it were just really flemsy and didnt hold up very well once I did the 1 tons. My trailer also has hydraulic tilt on it. I've only had to use it once, hauling my sisters car. If I were to buy another trailer I'd love to have one of the 20' PJ Buggy Haulers. I dont see a need for a winch though.

You obviously wouldn't need a winch if the only vehicle you hauled had a winch on the front of it. The winch is SUPER nice for loading dead vehicles. I loaded that XJ body with no axles in about five minutes the other day.
