« **on:** October 13, 2009, 02:07:04 PM »

Going to need to borrow a flat bed trailer 8 x 18 or bigger if anyone has one that are willing to loan out. Looked up at renting one and the wanted damn near $600!

If I double that I could just fricken buy one!

Let me know what you got....

Does it need to be a flatbed? or will an open top box trailer work?

That would work as long as its wide enough. 7.5 is the widest point (rear tires). Also I need to be able to get the motor over the trailer axles, so it would need to be a few feet longer then the toy. Wouldnt want the death wobble!

Sand Rail. Paddles on the rear. Not a VW engine!

Did that, daily it would be like $300 roughly 6 days. If it was a 1 day deal I would be all over that.

« **Reply #17 on:** October 14, 2009, 02:15:36 PM »

« **Reply #18 on:** October 14, 2009, 04:29:55 PM »

mine are both 102" wide the bumper tow is 20' and 12kgvw the goose is 26" and 24k gvw both are very heavy most likely you will need a diesel when I had my titan it struggled with the 12k trailer empty

Struggled? How heavy do you think the trailer is empty? I had roughly 4500lb behind me a couple weeks ago and only noticed when I pulled away from lights. Trailer was really "tongue light" so the rear tires would slip a little.

before the titan I had another diesel so maybe thats why it felt like that.I would assume the smaller trailer is maybe 3k ?
