My first car hauler

Recommended Posts

Looks like I will be getting a custom built Gravely trailer- 24' flat deck, 5200# axles, 2" lift, fenders mounted 3" higher (ground clearance and future larger tires), rims painted to match, trailer spare with hub assembly and mount, one spare mount for Jeep/dads Tahoe, 14 pocket with rub rails, winching point, rear receiver and LED lighting. He is also going to make some mounting plates for under the trailer so we can drill and mount the rooftop tent rack on the front of the trailer deck. Great family and the lifetime warranty is transferable, plus they will grease the trailer and inspect it ever 3,000 miles for life. Bill went with me to look, we BS'd with the owner Jody for almost 4 hours about wheeling and him teaching us some about trailers.

 

 

 

Are there any other suggestions of features you guys like and wouldn't want to skip? They will be starting my build in about a week and then building while I am up at work, Bill and my dad will be going over throughout the build and the owner is going to send updates and pics to me. The day I get back and before I head out deer hunting I will be going in for the final inspection before she goes to paint and any metal mods would need requested by this day at the latest. She will be ready for me to pick up the next week.

Where will the ramps be stored? I prefer the ones that pull out the back.

Sides, works better with their design.

Either way works. Make sure they are lockable.

make sure you have enough welded tie down points along the entire trailer

Great idea :) With the rub rails a section of 2" round tube is added in between the stake pockets for added support, and he showed that is where most tie down vehicles to and that is how we did with Bills shorty trailer they made 11 years ago.
