Hey I think that is the trailer that I started and never finished and sold it to Neil in Texas. Good to see it getting used and it looks good by the way

Yep those are the ones. But remember Mario or any Canadians... I live 10 mins from good ole Rick so I can get parts for you too. but I guess the conversion still works out to be the same, unless theres parts trading involved
but im thinking of trying to make my own first.. your pics helped me out with that!! Thank you!

mmm maybe? Im trying to remember who I bought it from. But they were on the board! And yes I use it the most of all my trailers it has hauled Nate's loader at indy before he sold it, has hauled excavators, trucks, boxes all kinds of stuff. I love it!

Yep but I have yet to get over there.... I just happen to win the sticker set from *** last year and finally got around to using them. Although a trip to the good hobby store is in order....

That's a good looking rig/project you got there.
I'm working on the lowboy myself and I got a little wondering going.......The fifth wheel is so far back on your truck, My truck will not steer at all when it got full load (15LBS), so I flipped it around an got more weight on the front wheels. How is your rig steering ?
Thanks
Bo
