    I build these trailers as a hobby. I do it just to make a bit of extra money to spend on fixing or modding my Toyota trucks.

    I have been building these things for 20+ years, so Iknow what qualifies as a quality utility trailer.

    This one sells for $1575 or best reasonable offer. I tell everyone, if you can find the trailer you like at a trailer dealer, you should buy it. I can't compete with assembly line trailers.

    Here is the vitals:

    15" radial tires
    2" ball coupler
    flip up tongue jack
    5/4 x 6" treated deck and side lumber
    Armored tail lights with LED light-you will NOT break these lights
    bi-fold tail gate-makes for towing on the x way a dream-no wind resistance
    6 bed tie downs
    3600# axle

    sides are 22" tall.

    I build the same trailer in several sizes and can build them special order. I can do custom fabrications to these trailers-pretty much anything welding.

    I'm in the Central Michigan area-PM me if any interest or questions.

    I have it alread on the Garage Journal site. Look in the section "Fabrication and Techniques.

    Or a do a search for threads started by koditten. You might have to become a member of that forum to see pics.

    I get a few more request and I will bring the whole thing over to this site.

    Looks like a great trailer, nice work. Have any guess on how much one would weigh, like the one pictured? Thanks
