Pretty pumped, bought this today in preparation for the track this summer. Got a good deal on it :D. It'll fit in the driveway to which is nice. Gotta run it by a set of neighbors first though. Tow's awesome. It's a Aluma 8218 Tilt bed. Pretty stoked :D

Holy crap that thing is awesome. Did you have it custom built?

Looks expensive.

In terms of parking. I lucked out. Talked to the one set of neighbors that might have a problem. They are cool with it and thanked me for asking them. Said that it's a nice trailer and I offered them tows if they need anything, or anything moved.. Fit in my driveway.. Got it on the first time, pretty proud of myself lol. I"m a seasoned trailer guys though lol

Bought some anti-theft too

nice setup! for that kind of trailer is there a latch or something that you undo and it tilts back, then just drive a car up to tilt it back normal?

Also that thing looks absolutely tiny behind that big ass truck lmao

So it's held by two latches and a pin.. If you looks closely you'll see the red handle.. There are two latches, one on either side, then the pin.. Then open up the yellow hydraulic valve.. Step on the back of the trailer and it goes down. Drive the car up, the trailer automatically goes down.. Latch, pin, close valve. drive off

Congrats! It's always reassuring trailering the car to a test and tune night, you can get a little more ballsy launching etc..

Man that's sweet! I'm looking at buying a car hauler this summer. I bet that aluminum pulls nice loaded. Good job!
