Thanks Peter

I never implied that I had anything stolen from my open trailer, I just felt better when everything was out of sight. The enclosed also offers the opportunity to have pre-positioned orderly storage of tools, and tires

Call or email me (no option to send you a PM). I have a leftover new 8045 and I'll cut you a deal for the end of the year.

As everyone on here can attest, and you are finding, used ones are few and far between (and generally not that great savings over new!!)

For who? I should just suck it up and jump off the cliff of tow vehicle and enclosed but I can't make it work for me right now.

a new one at a discount is as good it gets on a trailex and swtichcars specs them properly etc..
dont waste time waiting on used one to save $500
Most used ones never even hit the market because sellers have had 68 guys at the track say "if you ever decide to sell that trailex, give me a call" and away they go...

Left over NOS at a discount is solid if the discount actually warrants being called a discount... ie not $100 off...

Do it...

Waiting to hear back from them. I agree with you. There is one for a decent price in VA but I am afraid it is too far for me to drive and shipping would kill the savings. Should have just bought your TPD.

buy and use the trailex until you have a tow rig

I have another TPD... it will be for sale eventually, you can buy it then... :-)

You are a really bad influence! Who is hauling around the 24 TPD now, Montoya?

Tal
unnamed rler
he has not picked it up yet but will in early spring
I will let him out himself if he chooses

Montoya had a shot at it but in essence it was not made avaialble to him until after he purchased his FL enclosed which was basically too late.
