What every kid wants....

Even as a kid building models....I always painted the trailer to match the truck...I once made a trailer to pull behind my bicycle and painted it to match my bike....
Well, 54 now and finally have a trailer to match my truck !

This trailer was eight years old and starting to look a little (lot ) ratty, so I had it media blasted and painted to match my truck

My very understanding wife commented... What are you going to do when you get a new truck ?

Do you mean it ? I can get a new truck ?

Did it cost you $10,000 for the paint job ?--LOL

Nice setup!
I was looking for a nice used trailer instead of having to rent a U Haul for Carlisle and Moparfest, but nice ones are impossible to find on the cheap!
I'd say a good trailer is an investment, they seem to keep their value once the initial depreciation has hit, and if it's well kept.
Are they easier to find around Toronto?

Reminds me of when I had my 1973 Challenger in Metallic Bronze and came by a 16 foot ski boat in the same color which of course I bought!

Looks great. I got a matching trailer too. Oops you are talking about a car trailer.

@Spikedog08 I got a new car trailer a few years ago for $3K. Maybe it's time you just go and buy one.

There seems to be a lot of places in and around the Toronto area that makes them. I bought mine direct from the manufacture... eight years, no complaints...I try to pressure wash it every time I use it in the Winters though...try to keep the salt off of it.
