Been using a 18" tandem to haul my car on, is nice but my car is the size of a lawn mower and with gas the way it is every little bit helps. I also wanted something a bit easier to move around when unloaded. So I ordered up an 3500# axle from ebay and some metal from local mill and some trailer parts from Rural King and got to work. Started out making it 13 feet long, but making it that long and keeping it light was not going to work.


So then I moved the axle forward about 8 inches and cut 2 feet out of the rear section. About 11 feet total now, and just perfect for my starlet. Going to get one of those tongue mount tool boxes here soon to keep the not in use straps and the ever handy come-a-long.
The wheels and tires on it now are going to go, needs some much smaller 8ply trailer tires.


Got about $425 in the whole thing, and about one weekend. Plus it it probably to small to fit anything bigger than a civic so it rules out a lot of mooches wanting to use it

 

Looks great!

 

pimp *** and for the 100th time. That starlet is bad ***

 

very nice

 

That thing is very purpose built. Looks like it will get the job done nicely though.

 

damn if you were in texas you could make a killing off ---- like that and yes that startlet is the pimp ----..

 

Make sure to save all your reciptes for the bitch to get it licensed

 

I did, and have already been to the dmv and sent off for a vin. Got a 60 day temp tag to run on till the vin number gets here. Scary that nobody inspects these things I could of made it from cardboard and duct tape and got plates.

 

I'm liking it

 

very nice work
