Id like to try the same one day, i need a trailer, how much did all the metal and bits cost?

the metal was the cheap part, it was the springs and axles that cost $3000 alone but if you wanted to just shift small cars axles/ springs would be cheaper.

$3000 for axles and springs!! Crikey sounds expensive. How much would you be looking at for a complete new trailer like this?

 

Looking fantastic by the way ;)

I just put the 12 slots on so i could roll it out the shed.

I am going to use VY VZ commodore one tonner rims they are thicker than sedans and stamped with Ute, If used with light truck tyres they will be legal.
