Custom Off-road trailer

I built this trailer to go with my '82 toyota 4X4 that I sold last year. I used another '82 toy 4X4 shortbed for the frame and bed. It has a custom axel by Redneck that has six on 5.5 lugs with toyota lug studs for wheel and lug nut compatibility. The suspension is all Old Man Emu with heavy duty springs and greasable shackles to match what I had on my truck. New BFG all terrain ta/ko 31X10.50 15 tires on stock steel wheels that have been powder coated. Triangular heavy Duty polymer lock box from Tractor Supply in front of the bed. Swing down heavy duty Crank leg (I have a new flotation wheel/tire to replace the hard plastic one that's on the leg.) tailgate is off a different year model but it's as close as I could find and works fine. Wired for four prong plug and lights work. Set up for 2" ball. Bed needs the inside floor surface rust swept with a sand blaster or serious wire brushing, only surface rust. Outside could use minor From the inside out ding removal on a few places. It follows great at off-road speeds and does good on highway IF load is balanced front to back and side to side, otherwise it tends to sway. I believe a quick release axle to frame connector system would completely remedy the swaying. Tagged and titled in North Carolina. I'm just looking to get my money invested back out since I don't off-road anymore. If I did I would have finished it and be towing it behind my old truck. I need
$1900.00. If interested and want to see detailed pictures EMAIL me paulpeek2450@hotmail.com or call/text (817)565-9447 thanks, Paul
