Default Harbor Freight Tire Trailer Examples?

Hey all,

Do any of you have the harbor freight 40x48 trailer being used as a tire trailer. Need something that will easily hide in my overly crowded garage. Looked at the aluma trailers and other $2500.00+ trailers and they're all beautiful. Just too big for my space

Guy I bought my car from, Jenner, is a member here and I believe used one of these. Shot him a message. If I recall correctly it was a Harbor Freight.

Would the smallest one of these work?

I have one that I got at Harbour Freight. I painted it and then built it up using some instructions I found on an S2000 board. Holds my four tires horizontally on two poles covered with PVC pipe. Also have a Contico Tough Box bolted on for the jack, tools, helmet, etc. I love it...hard to tell its back there.

That one is too big to sneak away in my garage effectively and it 10x the cost of the harbor freight job. Nice trailer, but overkill for what I'm looking for.

I've done some deals with Jenner, I'll PM him as well and see what he has to say!

OK, I'll look on the S2000 boards and see what I can come up with!

Thanks

I tow the Harbor Freight model trailer with my 944 Turbo.
4 track wheels and box with tools.
Don't even notice it back there.
You can PM me if you want details.

Got it, that's super simple!

Need to hide it in my very crowded garage, Erik's rig is nice, but essentially would take an entire bay in the garage to store and don't have room. The HF little guy if I lean it against a wall, or make a little stand for it, will only take about 2ftx4ft of floor space...

I've seen that one, I'll be sporting 2x 275 and 2x 335 Hoo Hoo's so they won't fit in the trailer width wise, will have to be stacked...
