Heres some pics of my Truck and Trailer. The trailer my dad built, he had always wanted to build one. It is a 5x10, works good for me know but I may get a bigger one next year. It is all stainless(he got the angle from some one he knows for free) The mesh on the gate is galvanized. I had to put a lift asisst on because the mesh was so heavy. I bought my Truck in Feb 07, paid for myself, along with all my equipment which is soon to come. Heres a whole bunch of pics:
Its some pretty thick expanded steel!
I also added a tongue tool box
Nice Truck/trailer. That thing has alot of miles on it! especially for the year. i only have 117 and mines a 98. That trailer looks overloaded allready, even without everything on it. You should have went with the tandem axels.

Thanks, ya it is alot of miles I think they were all highway though. Actually the trailer is not as heavy as it looks. Springs are fine. I have hauled a few pretty heavy steel beams and such to the scrap yard no problem
Heres a few more, I will have to get a pic or 2 of the inside of my truck tommorrow.

Yes it was it had every piece of equipment I have on it, that was the day I was taken pics of everything, which I will get up soon. That actually is not sagging to bad, I have had it worst that was why I wanted a 3/4 ton, hopefully in a year or 2 I will get one

Heck ya, Thats why it is in my garage every night! But that trailer will last a very long time!
ok just makin sure. but that trailer looks heavy regarless. one thing i would recomend until the time at hich you can upgarde toi a 3/4 ton is to add some leaf spring helpers, or air bags, or timbrens, it will greatly improve your abilty to safely haul a load.

My opinion..........instead of jumping to a 3/4 ton get a 1 ton dump...........MUCH more useful. You can still do your mowing as well as haul and expand into more work.

Thanks! My dad had made one but screwed up the angle. So I spent about 2 hrs, measure 25 times, cut/bend once lol. It turned out nice and works great. It is basically a really snug fit, but it is also rivited on
