    I have saw this on another site and it made a cool thread. Here is mine, 97 f350 7.3 auto and an open trailer.

    Don't have a picture with the open trailer, or the enclosed trailer, but here is a 33' Sunnybrook attached to our '96 dually.

    An open trailer that I bought for 300.00 about 10 years back - getting to it slowly but surely - was going to be used for a stock car but sold that back on 09 :)

    I usually tow with my F-350 but the last Maverick tow was with our Savanna van.

    Someone came on here and was giving the car away, so I borrowed my friends moms trailer. I was supposed to buy the trailer for $500, but she ended up giving to me as long as I let her borrow it when she needs it.

    Deck is 2" treated lumber. Aluminum trailer with a steel subframe for the torsion axles to mount to so they don't work on the aluminum.

    The right tool box has a 4500# SuperWinch, the battery and all the winch stuff. There is a remote winch plug-in on the left side of the trailer so 1 person can load by themself, steer the car and run the winch with no problem.

    The left toolbox has all the tiedowns, jack and hand tools.

    Fenders are removable with 2 bolts if they are in your way. So far everything has cleared the fenders with the doors opened, including my lowered '62 unibody pickup.

    It pulls great.

    My trailer is all steel but is a fairly light trailer - I have to completely re-deck it and I see the photos of your wood deck and really think it makes the trailer :thumbs2:
