Where are some decent places to buy them? Just looking now but curious if there are some good dealers in this area.

Thanks,
Jimmy

I bought mine out of Atlanta. It was a few hundred cheaper than I could find around here and had a lot more options.

Do you remember the company? I remember seeing some out of Rock Hill too I think that wasn't too bad.

You know I might drive 10 hours to save a thousand dollars or even 700. But ill be fucked in the ass if I drive 10 hours to save a few hundred.

Big tex trailers. Their dealership is across from the summit store

snooping craigslist for trailers always gives me a chuckle..... used 15 year old pieces of shit priced $200 less than a brand new one.

there is a big tex dealership in commerce just before you get to the exit for the dragway. i have been scoping out a cm flatbed for my truck down there.

That is pretty much what I have seen. If you do come across a "deal" they usually are gone the first day.

I have one I'll let go for $1,400. Good tires (with spare), hubs, electric brakes, tool box, winch, fresh battery, new lights, 3.5k axles, and slide out ramps. It ain't as pretty as Carl's but it is a solid trailer. Not sure who built it but I bought it from Kenny McDonald after he refurbished it with tires and brakes in Dec. 2011. I've put approx. 1800 miles on it since then without any trouble.

perm102 · 06-25-2013, 07:14 AM

Do you know how wide it is between fenders?

Is this trailer still available?

If perm don't buy it lemme know. Is it a full deck trailer? Or runners?

I'm out of it if you still want it. It is a good deal too.

snakeplissken · 06-25-2013, 07:53 AM

I'll measure it today. Has diamond plate runners, which I prefer because you can inspect the chassis at the track.
