It has Lifting bunks, 3 speed winch, guide rollers, Operator Walk down ramp. Everything you could ask for. I LOVE IT!! Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

They usually weather check on the sidewalls long before the tread wears out. Somebody told me you need to replace them if they're over 5 or 8 years old, can't remember which?

Mine has 12 inch tires looks to be identical to my flamingos trailer just not as fancy painted. How did you fake the white walls? Are mine inch tires easy to find? Thanks for the tire brand ideas. I have to rewire my trailer anything wrong with converting over to led lights? Not really factory then but does that matter?

My "Fake" white side walls are pretty simple but.. NOT very permanent. I use Rustolem Oil Based Paint and a 1" brush and Paint em on!! They last each season and then start checkering and peeling off. But from 10 ft away they look pretty good. Going down the road they look like the Real McCoy!!! Takes about 30 minutes each year to paint em on!!!

Thank goodness only two wheels on the trailer. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
