Nice hobby, huh.

There is the brink of insanity and the abyss,....which I clearly fell into.
Hell of a hobby.

Ah, I remember the days of utility trailers. Only about a year ago.

I went with the Willwood system too and a friends Southsport trailer. It really is a good system, but I had some blow outs. Make sure you keep the thing aligned. I'm on my 2nd open trailer ditching the utility trailer.

Hi Dave - Already in touch with Stan, so no need. I thought the bottom picture was a different manufacturer (not HF). I'm all set. Thanks anyway.

Still using my Harbor Freight based trailer. Just not ready to step up to a truck/trailer yet. The plan is when I sell my S4 to replace it with something that can tow, then maybe look around for a trailer...

Thank you,

Joel,
Matt and I are looking for a trailer. Can you e-mail me some pictures?

Don't feel like you're stuck looking for the smallest trailer you can find. My needs required something slightly larger, and I have no problem pulling it behind my Miata. I went with Harbor Freight, and I have had decent success with it. It would really be nice to have an american axle and wheel bearings, other than that I can't complain too much.
