Trailer for Ouray?

Post by cobshane »

So I had a trailer setup to borrow from my dad, it was rated for 7000lbs, double axle and looked sturdy enough. Put the bronco on and it bent the frame of the trailer when loading up. Then i had to fix it back up. So this is out of the equation.

Then I had a setup with a buddy, but he forgot he had to help move his brother out. Was told this yesterday

So i am now trailer less and asking for help. I can give my Miller welder and plasma cutter as collateral and can be used if you want. If cash is wanted I can do this as well.

I'm getting rid of all options before I rent one. Thank you

Maybe I should have taken your offer. This trailer has been a hassle from the beginning. But you now what. There's a saying for this, sh%t happens. Lol
Its all about maintaining your Investments to make them worth while. This thing is going to be like new when he gets it back.

With the attitude that few posses these days. thumbs up I live by the same rule. Return it in better condition than you got it in. Lots of times people think a trailer is cheap to own. But you have to consider bearings, seals, tires, deck maintenance, registration, storage, etc not to mention the time involved with their upkeep. Cheap in comparison to the truck that tows them, but not free by any means.

Glad you found one tho!

Storage is my big killer. If I had another spot in my driveway, I'd certainly have a trailer.

Or just do what I did, make friends with a guy that has a few acres in Black Forrest, then ask him if you can leave a tow trailer on his land. He uses the trailer sometimes and it's always there if I ever need it.

I was just thinking about that buddy of yours the other day. The wife and I are looking at property in Black Forest and one of the locations is not too far from him.
