Default Where did you get that?

hi zippy. I’m looking to do exactly what you’re doing. Where did you get Your most recent trailer? Thanks for the help

The one you have in the Craig's List ad looks like a nice trailer too.
See the pictures below.

Hey there, so the track trailer you see painted blue started life as a Harbor Freight trailer. I believe it was a 4x6 in size, it was not the folding one. From there it morphed into what you see here. I had the entire trailer reinforced at a local welders shop and had the tire cradle added to fit my oversized track tires. Then I added the diamond plate to the base, added to Job Box to it and of course had to have it painted the exact shade of LeMans Blue to match my car! I did add a larger tire and wheel to the trailer and even considered added a set of used C5 wheels, but then the width of the trailer would be too large to fit inside my shed where I store the trailer out of the weather.

I believe my hitch on the car is from Hidden Hitch and it is made for the C5 Corvette and had a local trailer shop do the install. It was a lot of fun watching them laugh as they installed it onto a Corvette and NOT a F150 pick up truck!
