Towing/ Camping /Trailers (10 Viewers)

Not sure what to think of these:

"overlanding" in the title/brand makes them presumptively gay, but I'm still intrigued by the concept as an alternative to RTT or traditional pop-ups.

Was that truck actually hooked up to that trailer? Not even close to legal if it was.

Nope

I had to swing by just so I could look in the bed...didn't even have a GN hitch. I guess the real truck that was pulling it had to vacate the premises, so they dropped the tailgate and backed this toy truck up to it to guard the trailer.

Hell the sumbitch pulled the space shuttle why not a little goose neck car hauler. I seent on the tv!

Headed up tomorrow to do a work lunch and grab my M416s

I'll get them home and decide a plan.

I'm going to be keeping one and selling 2 to help pay for my one

Might be interested in one. Let me know if you need unloading help.

NICE

Those trailers are really cool. If I had a room in the budget or a use for them, I would be all over that. Do you need any of those tires I am holding in my garage?

 

[wngrog]

I think I'm going to need the tires. These are all dry rotted.

Batesville cop just pulled me over to try to buy one.

 

[ntsaint]

Excited to see these. Condition still what you thought on the two better ones?

 

[Fireman]

How much? Or are that all spoken for?

 

[wngrog]

I'm going to keep one. Andy is in line first for the green one.

I gotta look them over.

Whatever it costs to cover the cost of me getting one free.

 

[ntsaint]

I want the green one, depending on condition and price.

Gonna be at least a few weeks before I can get over there though, so if you need to unload one before then I certainly understand.

 

[wngrog]

No. It's yours to take or not. No hurry. No pressure either way.

I'm amazed how light these trailers are. I can push and pull them anywhere. I even unloaded them by hand mostly. Crazy cool.

They all have issues. They would not have lasted all this time on that lot if not.

The most complete one that Andy is in line for looks great. The only drawback is the PO put a bad ass ball hitch (1 7/8") on it. The rest is awesome under the surface rust and flaking USA paint.

The box is solid. Rare....,

The one I'm going to keep has a smashed box but it's in great shape other than that. I've started massaging it to get it relatively straight.

@pmccraney the rims are 16".....those tires are not needed. Take em back to Chi-us. He can smell 'em to some peckerwood

Honestly I would prefer a standard ball type hitch to the noisy pintle hitch anyway. 99% of what you would want to pull your trailer through can be accomplished with a standard ball hitch

I built a CDN101 and tried to take it on the trail. I thought I would kill myself before I got to the campsite with the pintle hitch noise and almost flopping it a few times. Unless you make them WIDE and with a LONG hitch and LOW center of gravity, they are best used to haul your s*** to and from the trail.

I am going to put a hitch on the one I have for sure. I think I will get a pintle tube and lengthen it a bit to make it easier to back and see. Definitely using a ball hitch. I went down the pintle hitch road and it sucks.

The one that I am going to sell looks to be the white one. It's in great shape, the only thing that makes it non-collectable is the rear of the tub has been cut for a tailgate. I really want one with a tailgate because I want to have the tent on top and firewood and a grill below, but I am not sure anyone wants one with a bent tub.

I will get pics in the AM of the two that are in question with a price. I am keeping one. Not sure which yet.

On the one I sold a few months ago I extended the tongue 14" which made a huge difference in the above. I put a 2" HD ball hitch on it and never looked back. The one I have left is a standard pintle still and it will get changed at some point.

White Trailer - $800

Ball hitch welded to the Pintle rod

Tailgate cut into tub

Dents and dings no extra charge

This is the one I was planning to keep because I thought the box on the tan one was too far gone.

I like the frame hooks on this one. The other 2 don't have.
