My trailer project... just finished today!

What's up boys, just wanted to share this with you. I just got finished this project tonight, and I'm stoked because now the F-150 has something to pull! I bought the old trailer from a friend, stripped it down to nothing, and rebuilt the whole thing. I'm super pleased with how it turned out. I've never seen another design like it, and I was very impressed with its layout and features, so I bought it and re-did it. Tell me what you think!

At first, (because the pictures were so big) I thought the very first picture was the finished product...

Then I'm thinking, sheesh what did it look like before you re-did it?

Very nice looking!

Couple questions:
1) What did you pay for the trailer, and how much $$$$ did you put in it?
2) What is the crank through the "V" do?

Those V's are ramps that come off and attach either to the back or side of the V to drive on and drive off. The crank keeps them together so they don't come off while driving.

Altogether I have about $1500 into it, and probably ~80 hours of work.
