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 ;)

been looking on ebay / trading post for 6 months but i couldn't find one i liked for a new trailer the same GVM $7000 - $12000.

and thats like a decent price for what it is i would honestly say 10,000 mimum if you were to do all this to sell as its all CUSTOM work, custom work is so damn hard

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.
