Nice trailer, that's almost exactly like the 10,000 pound jayhawk trailers out here, might even be the same brand, go for around 2500.00 ?

You might want to recheck those prices Steve. I'v ebeen talking with Eric @ Jayhawk & looks more like $3200 for one like Toby's.

For an 18 foot wood deck? :doah:

I know Toby paid more, but he got a 20 footer with d-rings, beefed up fenders, toaster etc..

You can drop a chain between the rub rail and the trailer then bring the hook up the outside of the rub rail and hook it over the top to tie things down. waytogo

Afraid so. The price of steel has gone up like 91% and the price of wood up like 32% over last year. Anyway, go to there website ( www.jawhawktrailers.com ) and send off for a quote. That is what they told me. I am also working on a trailer locally by a new company making them in Co Springs. I should know something by next week. I just need to get my 89 Burb sold. :doah:

The day I sell my Burb will be the day I put a down payment on a new trailer. At least that's my plan :doah:

Try emailing Eric at es@jayhawktrailers.com He's been really good about replying this week. I know he was in Moab last week, so that could be part of the problem if you tried to get ahold of them last week.

Here is the link:
http://www.pj-trailers.com/products/details.php?id=C6
and a small pic of a similar trailer:
http://www.pj-trailers.com/products/c6.jpg

Specs for my trailer:
18ft w/2'dovetail
treated wood deck
6" channel frame & tongue
3"channel crossmembers on 16" centers
2 5/16 Bull Dog
5' slide in ramps w/rear supports
2-5.2K axels both with elec brakes & raidial trailer tires(235/80R16)
Spare tire & mount
Self charging brake-away kit
HD diamond plate fenders (not the filmsy ones)
Upgrade to 10K drop leg jack
Black powdercoat

Plus whatever else is listed on the link above
I choose not to have any D rings so I can install them were I feel is the best location.

The first place I got a quote from last week did NOT cover all the details and options but gave me a 'starting' quote of $4280 +tax&lic
The second dealer I worked with yesterday was awsome, he took the time to detail out exsactly what I wanted called me back today and said $3800 +Tax&Lic with all my upgrades :pimp:

Ask away if you need more..... :popcorn:

Soo, is it 20 feet overall?

Burt4x4
04-01-2005, 03:09 PM
Nope 18' overall
My 72 has a 104" wheelbase so 16' of flat serface is pleanty. I have a longbed so all my gear will go there. If I do need more space I could simply fill the back of the Blazer :pimp:
Plus 18 footer will be a bit easier on driveway storage and overall towing length, my Dmax is almost 23ft long already :pimp:

Are the "Heavy duty" fenders strong enought to drive over. I am trying to decide if I want to get a deck over or not. Fenders seem like they can be a pain.

Burt4x4
06-01-2005, 02:24 PM
No they are not. It is my opinion that most removable type fenders will not have the center support needed to drive over them. Now if the entire fender was welded to the trailer and had extra truss type support underneath then ya. I too thought about deck over but the higher center gravity is something to consider. My truck stands 7ft tall so I stuck with an 83" deck and I can squeeze my K5 on without removing a fender. The first time I loaded it I bent a fender outward cuz I was too far over on the pass side... :doah:

Tell him Steve Burt sent you and what you want. He is a brand new store. I was actually their very first transaction to the 'genreal public'. :pimp: SO they will remember my name. Very cool people that want you to be hapopy with what you buy.
His lot is next to Hwy50 in Rancho Cordova. He has ALOT of trailers..all types from deck overs to lil ones.
They were suppose to get a web-site up but...not yet..
