Hi all,
With all the cars and trucks I have, I still have never owned a trailer-at least, not one larger than barely big enough to pull a riding lawnmower. I took some of the money I got selling that 440-6 challenger and bought myself a real trailer. It's what I call my DSC trailer, which stands for Dumb Shit Cease. What that means is that if I need to pull an 8000 lb dually and my 10,000 lb forklift, there will be no dumb shit, no question that yes, it will handle the weight safely and legally. Two 1970 imperials? Too bad I can't stack one on top of the other two-it would STILL have roughly 3000 lbs payload to spare with three of those 5000 lb bastards on it. Hence, you now see why I call it DSC. It's a 36 footer, and I had them add an extra axle to guarantee there would be no retardation with weight. The axles are 7000 lb models, and all three have brakes. There are a couple of things I was surprised they didn't skimp on for the price-the trailer jack has two feet, and the ramps are long. They're at or just over 6 feet long, which should make it relatively easy to get stuff up them without bottoming out. It's also set up for stake sides, so I can add sides to it later and take almost the contents of an entire house somewhere at once if I ever need to. Here are the pictures I've taken of it so far:
