Well not much progress on my trailer but I have started 5 more and I have one of them about 60% done. The one I am working on now it a tri axle for a good friend of mine.

LOL you are right I am sure or the dump trailer..

Travis, the lowboys are just great! I guess the material is easier to work with than aluminum? Less expensive? Any special process for getting paint to stick? Now that you are running an assembly line I envision the "Travis Trailer Company". You'll need a logo and decals for them. Probably paint them blue like the Mustang!

Awesome work on the trailer and the home-grown wheels you did! You just need more snow days...
