    Drove around 50 highway miles on it with my butt clenched the entire time. Music wouldn't go loud enough.

    Been making noise for 6 months are so. Happened pulling away from the airport parking lot hehe

    Just a rebuild for now. Just bought a house so money is tied up with that right now, or I would have just had them build me a new rear end. On the lookout for a Econoline 9" rear now for a budget build. No sense in paying what the 2 white Trac trucks did for the Currie rears being a semi float. But will probably have Currie make the axles.

    Picked this little guy up off Craigslist for a steal. Very few things to do to it and it will be ready for camping. Need to get a RTT soon!

    Yeah I guess that's what I don't understand. The most basic of trailers uses leaf springs.

    Wow. I've never seen that...ever. Damn retarded too. Gotta pic?

    All my boat trailers, jet ski trailers, utility, toy hauler, and otherwise all had either leaf spring or torsion. I've never heard of welding hubs strait to a frame.

    Regardless...Matt's has leaf springs. Just because I saw that trailer on CL :spy:

    That's what I found on a quick google search. There might be a leaf spring tucked up there but the little trailer I had when I raced bikes didn't have leafs from what I can remember.

    There are more types of trailer suspension than just leafs. Regardless if that has springs or torsion or otherwise, that's a turf trailer. They don't go more than 10-15 miles an hour around a golf course.
    Every DOT trailer I have ever seen has some form of suspension.

    Nah, I was going to have one built. To have one built was going to run me around $4500 plus, and found this and and made a $1500 offer and they accepted. Tested everything and its working perfect. Just had to rewire for a 7 pin instead of the 4 pin it had.

    Picked up an Eezi-Awn Series 3 1800 off a local member to add to the trailer.

    List of things to do before the wife and I make a maiden voyage up the coast in a few months. Love to hear anyones suggestions!
    • Add 1 more cross support under the tent (180lbs tent with bedding)
    • Get rid of pintle hitch in favor of ball coupler and hitch
    • Replace existing axle (square tube) with a new 3500lbs axle with matching Toyota hubs and electric brakes.
    • 33" tires and wheels and a spare. Truck will go back to 33's next time.
    • Add brake controller and battery system
    • Add license plate light
    • Plan fresh water tank and tongue box
    • Add tailgate cable
    • Add snap on tonneau cover to the box
    • Spray some grey plastic dip on the trailer for a paint match

    If you're doing brakes, add a breakaway kit too. They are pretty inexpensive.
