Jacob, this is the trailer I want for our trucks:
34', 14k (7k/axle), single tandem

Anybody seen anything similiar?

looks longer than I though a 34' would be. Nice. Love that tow pic too!

Just curious, besides the obvious reasons (can pull with a SUV, or not sacrifice any bed space) are there any advantages to a bumper pull over a goose neck?

[Jason]

Not really that I can think of. Having the Kon is the whole reason that I want to stay with a BP.

I looked at some like that when I got my new 20'. The one thing I didn't like was the axles are too far to the rear for a BP trailer. Would be a differnt story if it was a GN. My .02

Yea, but if'n yer loadin up just one truck, you can move it around, so as it will handle good on the road. The difference with a GN is that you are effectively pulling 3-4' forward of a BP (better straight line pulling, less tail wagging the dog type movement), but more importantly, yer able to distribute the tongue weight over/forward of the rear axle. That is something I cannot do with the Yukon.

What trailer specs/pricing were you seeing when shopping around?

[stubb444]

36' 14K 7000 axels brakes on both $8400

[Jason]

Damn, that's alot of coin.

Damn, that's alot of coin.
Why couldn't you just make your truck safe/reliable enough to drive?

[Jason]

Because I like having a guaruanteed ride home.

[Valkyrie]

Understood.

Because I like having a guaruanteed ride home.

Yea, he doesn't like being like me, and driving home at 45 mph from Clayton, OK because he bent his drive shaft on a rock.:flipoff2:
Thank God I won't have that problem anymore. After that 4 1/2 drive home from Clayton, I traded my wifes truck in for a F150 Supercrew FX2 that will pull my crap. Now I just need to build my trailer. For now though, I can borrow.

Jason you looking for ball hitch or pintole? Also does it have to be new and shiny?

[Jason]

Ain't picky. What ya got? Picture?

[tbplus10]

Looked at a 36 with 3ft dovetail, no ramps, no storage box's, wood deck, 3ft tall front bump stop, no toungue jack. 2001 Tow Master heavy equipment trailer 18K cap. 2800lb tare weight, with pintole loop.
Needs lights, wiring, paint, 5 new boards, 4 new tires, and license.
Overall its in rough shape, at the very least needs lights and tires before pick-up. Located 1 hour west of Amarillo. I'm waiting on some pics, the ones on my phone didnt turn out good.
Unemployed owner wants to sell bfr Xmas, $4800. Pretty sure holding out a few weeks will bring the price down some.

[Jason]

Seems kinda high for a fixer-upper.

[tbplus10]

Yep thats what I told'em, I offered the wife $3k, she was ready to sell, husbands the one holding out. They got 4 kids no income and Xmas a few weeks away I'll have the trailer, their Who pudding, and their Xmas tree all for under $2500. Who says theres no Grinch.

It also has a 12K Super Winch mounted at the front.
