Since everyone seems to enjoy build threads, I figured I’d do one of the trailer I have being built.
first a little background to how I come to these guys and what I am building.
I already had a loft style stacker trailer that Josh Lepuer (spell?) did a build thread on in the old forum in 2015. It was a 24’ trailers the had a loft up front for a sxs to sit on and then a sand car could sit down behind it.
It worked good to haul those two things. But it was limited to those two machines and a few dirt bikes.
We have since added another sand car and therefore needed a way to haul two, a sxs and dirt bikes..
I started pricing out trailers long before we purchased another car as I knew it was coming. I had multiple shops get me pricing but as pricing was increasing I kept removing desired items to try and get to a budget I could live with.
I really wanted an aluminum trailer for nothing more than the corrosion resistance. Driving through Utah in the winter is hard on steel.. however to get it the size I wanted it was way over my budget.
I priced a couple used ones, multiple steel ones, and some manufacturers would t build it the size I wanted anyhow…
By happens chance I had a few friends in the Gram that follow a new builder that I hadn’t heard of. So I checked out what he was doing. I spoke with him and had him run some numbers.
I liked them enough I had an employee go to there place and meet with them while he was on a trip to Cali.
These folks are really just starting out, don’t have a real shop yet. But have years of experience, and it’s a family working together. Checked all the boxes that I liked so we laid down a deposit with Vway Custom Trailers and they ordered steel.
That was right about the first of the year.
In the first week they had the frame tacked together.
