Saw an awesome car hauler conversion yesterday! - Page 2

Still got to load it, so sir, you need a pay loader so picking up cars would be interesting.

Bwaa Haa Haa.. Oh yes.. yes sir.. if you can find me a nice wood paneled car hauler pic next.. I'd shore be appreciative kind sir!

JohnC4x4, where you at with a pic of that 2 car trailer of yours ?

Droooooool:

Couldn't find the pic but johnc4x4 trailer like this .
Wright Trailers, Inc.
If you look at the pic Specialty work youll see a car trailer with that flip up deck. Add this on a u haul car hauler conversion and now we're talking. Being able to haul 2 cars and not having to drag a trailer, that'd be sweet.

Ok I don't haul cars often but have driven a "retired" u-haul and i would be prepared for a major overhaul of the trucks suspension and drive train
you guys are talking about stacking two cars on one. Trying to decide if you're all crazy or brilliant

I'm just thinking simple: One Car on the back of this thing. I made a rule/vow/promise to my wife when I first got started doing this- I ended up with 3 at once.. and we do not live in the woods. So I had 1 in the garage, one in HER parking spot, and 1 on the trailer. I've been with my wife for 15 years- the look she gave me when I had 3 at once was..umm.. well.. scary. I promised once I got those 3 dead and gone- I'd only do 1 at a time. On a rare occasion I have 2- one gets dropped somewhere else- and only 1 is at home. So Long-way around. If I were to do a UHaul Conversion, it would be for the simplicity of having an all in one package- truck and trailer in one, with only one car on it at a time. No stacking, no trailer attached to the Uhaul- just one car on the "deck"

But once you go over 26001 it is game on for the dot remember that.

Not what I was getting at. Add a flip up deck to the u haul using a design very similar one on johns trailer but on the deck of the u haul. Ability to haul two cars at once or leave that flip up deck down and load a tractor or whatever on.


I'm not going for this route, for the u haul part anyhow but I'm thinking if I can getting some measurements or eyeball a trailer with the same setup,put 8k axles on my 22' gn and add the front flip up deck. Because ever bringing them in or hauling them to the yard would help save a bunch of gas. Plus instead of making 2 trips for a pair of 3200# cars, make one trip for 6400#! And the thought of a two trailer that isn't 30 plus feet trips my trigger.
