No pictures yet, my cameraphone sucks, it's dark, blah blah blah.

I picked up a 6'x6'x12' dual axle enclosed trailer tonight. Sound small ? I can stand up in it. I'm 6'4" YAY ! The old 'yota pulls it just fine.

My own little nirvana shed for suzi's zen procedures. But portable. Love it.

:D :D :D

I suggest you block that thing up and take the wheels and hitch off it to ensure it doesn't get too "portable".   :)

For some reason, the big thing these days is breaking the hitch lock off trailers, hitching up, and driving off with whatever is inside.   know of several people this has happened to.

OR, pour yourself about an 8,000 lb block of concrete and embed a couple ends of anchor chain and a hitch to hook up to.  THEN take the wheels off and chain them up inside.  That's what one guy on PM in Detroit had to do to keep his trailer around.   :laugh: 
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

anchor the axles to teh ground securely, and put a tag on teh key chan saying " unanchor trailer idiot" trust me on that, if you anchor it in that fashion, you will hitch and try to pull ONCE without unanchoring. i have the same warning ono my bike from when i had disc locks

yep, if it's still outside this morning, I'll fix all the ugly bits, and get a 70 lb logging chain to keep it safe.

lol, i'm betting after that first time trying to pull the world (instead of just the trailer) you had a good laugh.

sounds like something i'd do. :D

Yeah, I've done the same.  Now I don't use a disc lock having bent the spokes of a previous bike.  One experience of that was enough never to forget again but I don't want to take the chance.  At least there's a steering lock.
