I’ve got a 2005 “something” 20ft flatbed. No damn clue the mfg and az title doesn’t say. She’s a twin 3500lbd axle wood deck flavor. Has dual spares, winch sits in the front tool box and she’s beat down. Pretty light duty rig, just one set of brakes, frame is all 1/4” 3x5 angle (may be thicker but doubt it), 2x8 boards and light duty ramps I’ve bent a few times.
At this point, brakes don’t work, only one tail light works, cross members have cracked or broke off, axles are bent from years of abuse (they U the wrong way lol), paints about sun baked off, boards are all about to break apart from dry rot, front jack is shot and hitch is about wore out.
About 2 years ago, I started looking at replacing it. Trailer pricing was nuts and said Fuck That, I’ll build this one better. So I bought a 2 5/16” 12k hitch for the front to replace the 2”, bigger jack for the front, two flip downs for the rear, new lights, new 6k axles and 6 new wheels, new 7 plug, box of screws, new springs, u bolts, and shackles and 7 sticks of 3x3 .120 wall square tube. Only thing I need is the wood deck.
Basically uprating this thing to a 10k trailer. I bought the trailer for 1k and I’ll have 2k in upgrading it. Just need to get my ass to doing it but ttb tracker sounds way more fun
One of the many times it was overloaded.
