that's also what I was thinking at first. While it's parked at my house I have no worries for it being stolen. Trust me, It will be secure .
i do however have to think about when I'm on the road at a IMAC event. You right!!!

Shaun,

I'd seriously consider jacking the axle up a bit. Where it sits now you're in danger of getting stuck in a dip in the road.
Daniel, you are correct. I'll go out tonight and see what type of clearance I have right now. I am going to catch it from the wife if I put a lift kit on my trailer LOL.........

very nice, can you let us in on the construction materials? is it just painted ply? is it lauan ply?
redneck? i want to do this to and i'm from NY harbor fright has new trailler chassis for $200-300
Spaz, that trailer would be fine. I used this trailer because of the good price i got on it (free).
It's just a junked out camper trailer. like a 80's model or something?. I just built it up with a 2x4 frame and covered the floor with 3/4" ply. and the r4est with 1/2" ply. I Kilz the trailer and used SW outdoor paint on top of that.

I would add hand cut Duct tape graphics
HHHMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......Not bad!!!

Maybe a giant flying giants logo on the side ?
Great idea!!! But I'm not sure if I could afford to pay for a 4' tall Flying giants sticker.Ha,Ha,Ha.......... Besides Max might not want his name on the side of this ride.

Keep the ideas coming....................

Something like this should be quite effective.

It's really a lot easier then it looks to change the tire. You just have to jack it up high enough to clear the side rail. It doesn't take much effort or believe me, I wouldn't have used it
Now the idea of having my wife change the tire is a good one.........I run it pass her .......

Well...............
After all the talk about the clearance, Or should I say lack there of I started really looking at the height of the trailer.
Yea, I had to agree. It was very short. After doing some head scratching I came up with a solution.
How about a lift kit.
Man ole' Man. I'll never live this one down. LOL....
Well I had to change the old springs out anyway. So I just did a little tweeking.
