Nice looking trailer. I like the touch of the protected tail lights.

Lawn care business tips

Some of your welds look a bit cold, but it should be fine. Having built a few trailers like this I would have to say if I can source some of the parts free (axle, wheels, etc) I would have probably built it myself as well. But I have access so a shop and a good welder so it wouldnt be that hard. If I was trying to do this in my driveway as a first time project I would recommend buying a new or used trailer.

Excellent trailer. I was thinking about building one, but bought a Big Tex 10X4 instead, and am planning on building sides on it.

Its getting paint on tuesday.

i had to to wire in a plug on my truck yesterday and the lights work great.

I look forwards to seeing the new paint job.

Also, I was wondering, what do you do about registration and getting a title for a trailer when you build it yourself? Is that an issue at all or don't you need a license plate for it?

I took it to wil-ro tuesday and they said they would try to work it in this week so i drove by yesterday and it wasn't outside were i left it and there were some freshly painted beds so im thinking they probly have started on it.

I know that trailers of this size around here dont have license plates so im not sure. Im not sure what to do about registration and getting a title.

Also I was looking for insurance yesterday and stopped by state farm, they said i would have to be in business at least two years before they would Cover me, so im going to look at other companys now.
