very nice work, maybe i'm going to far with this, but you could mount a spare wheel on there!

Believe it or not I thought of that but it cost too much already. At least with the wheels and tires can be used on the truck too and rotated. I also thought about a tool box on the front, to keep the tie downs in
rcluke. I didn't keep track of the cost but I'm guessing $75.00 - $100.00 I had to but all the wheels, tires, axles, knuckles, angle aluminum, wood, hinges, nut's, bolts and flat bar aluminum. The trailer frame and ramps only took about 4 hours but the fenders took a lot longer. They were a bear getting them just right.

I agree I think i might HAVETO make myself a trailer now after seeing all your good work
i might just make a simple one to start with, then maybe modify it (neons, big rims, low profile tyres, (the essentials))

Thanks, I appreciate that. I finally got around to grinding the bolts down flush so they don't stick out now so it looks even nicer now.

You could think about an overhead tire rack for the trailer up front out over the hood of the car as some of the real trailers are. Then a tool box on the tongue. Looking Nice
Thanks

RE: I made a trailer!!!
Sounds good to me, I accept the challenge. I think we should allow anyone else to join in if they want to and we would need a cut - off date and then a poll to decide the winner. Since this was your idea I'll leave it up to you.
