I will probably sand and paint it sometime, and add a tailgate. But it pulls nice and plenty heavy enough to haul as much as a P500 can pull.

Nice looking trailer, I made one back in 97 from a motorcycle trailer (assuming thats what yours is) I'm still abusing it to this day. The springs on mine are long gone (probably from loading it with boulders) and the springs were replaced with solid mounts. Mines not as nice looking as yours anymore.

Mine isn't pretty up close, but it is solid. Yours looks very similar. I am pretty sure mine was one of those little trailers for hauling large spools of pipe or wire. There wasn't much to it other than a tongue and axle. The floor is plywood. Last night I coated the wood with used oil for a little bit of weather protection...The springs are good on it. I'm sure it will see lots of abuse very soon... have some trails to clear out, but that's what it's for. :)

You mean it doesn't look manly and beefy, ready for some heavy lifting? Haha, yeah I guess I have to agree with you there. Maybe I'll paint it pink to match my daughters little quad... I hauled the little quad with it last weekend. Worked pretty well for that too!

Lol, ok I should have used a different word. I like the way it looks, and painted a nice colour scheme it would be real..............well, cute.

My wife would tell you I have a fetish for trailers. I own eleven of them presently, and would love to add yours to my collection (they all get used btw). Shoot me a number ($) and location I can pick it up!
