ya ya... i know it should be in the wanted ads, but i figured it be easier to keep it local, as i sure as hell am not driving to california or miami...
Lookin for an open bottom car trailer. i could really care less what kind, size or shape.
if i could have my pick of the litter--- it would be aluminum, slide under ramps, i think they call the end a beaver tail?... easier to load low to the ground cars/trucks. brakes- eh... the truck doesnt have em so why should the trailer, lmao....
must fit a club cab r/t and be road worthy. i can fix just about anything, but i have to be able to get it home first. keep your eyes out, or point me twards any ads you guys run across in:
Central/Southern Wisconsin
Northern Illinois
Northwestern Indiana
Northeastern Iowa
Generally anywhere 1/2 day drive from Milwaukee or Chicago
i could probably talk the wife into about $1,000. my target is $800.
thanks fellas.

It will be hard to find one worth dragging off for that money but you could build one for that..That is what I did..

ive thought about it..did you get some plans, or just toss one together? we've got a northern tool store here thats got a lot of components.... maybe i should look into that.

First look into what it takes to having a homemade trailer licensed. I don't know if it's difficult or not, just something to look into.
