| I have had this trailer for a long time. After looking for new ones, I just decided to redo it the way I want it to be. It is 14 foot and has a diamond plated steel bed. That was the big reason I did not want to go with a wood bedded new one. 16 footers are to long to fit in Home Depot and Lowes parking lot when I make my weekly contributions. Been painted twice, hauled 4 wheelers, RZR's, rock, dirt and lots and lots of firewood. I finally bent an axle, worn out the tires again and hate the white spokes rusting. Going to put tandem axle with Cambered, easy lube dexters and just bought some silver mod steel wheels. New paint is in the works too. As is pics | |

Where you getting the axle from Gimpy? I am getting tandem's. Duvall trailers on your side of West Point, on Dixie Hwy. I delivered the trailer to him today. Further North, on Dixie, J & J Trailer Parts is loaded with everything you need, in stock. They don't do the work there. Duvall's does the work. | |

| New silver mod wheels and Carlisle ST 15" radials = $570
Remove old axle & springs, install tandem hanger kit, install 2 new cambered Dexter Axles, install 2 new fenders and paint new parts = $750 + Total = $1,320
Duvall trailer manufacture, who did the work, had priced me a new one, that is a 14 foot, w/2'dove tail, diamond steel bed, tandem, radial tires for $1,908 | |
