Utility Trailer Questions

[Froggystyle]

As many know, I just bought a Toyota FJ Cruiser last month. It is pretty well doped out now, almost finished. I have however essentially lost my pickup truck as a trade off. Fine with me, because the truck was too nice to really use as a truck. At least to me...
So, I have decided that a utility trailer is in my future, but I don't need much, and don't want to buy new. I would rather get a higher quality used one than a cheap new one.
The "Landscape" style trailer is what I am looking for. Sheetmetal sides about 2' tall, and has to fit the Rhino. Minimum of 8' long and 6' wide. I plan on hauling firewood, plywood and other utility basics...
Don't need the sides per-se, just on the wish list. If someone has a flat 6x8 that would work too. 6x10 is fine also.
If anyone is upgrading to a toy hauler or something and has a utility trailer for sale... I am interested.
Looking to spend $500-600 or so.
Thanks,
Wes

Baller.
You could just drop the Rhino off out here and I would make sure that it was used as an advertising tool to further the bizzle. :D

I know it's more than you want but with this trailer you could load the cruiser up behind the toter. http://www.***boat.com/forums/showthread.php?t=170906&highlight=trailer

The Toyota isn't exactly the 2500 when it comes to towing. I would prefer a smaller trailer, both for storage and towing reasons.
With the Rhino in the moho, no real need to pull the FJ. 98% of the trips with the moho the boat is behind us anyway.
I PM'ed some guys in the SPAM section but nobody is getting back to me.

I was thinking of selling my flatbed Dico when I buy the enclosed trailer.
It would fit the rhino perfect, right in your price range too.

Only if you want to know all of the new places to go...
I didn't see a single used landscape trailer in there. There was probably less than three pages of used trailers in that thing once you take out all of the new ads. Many of the "ads" are just new trailer companies advertising their trailers.

Wes,I had a 6x10 enclosed and the Rhino fit fine but no additional room for anything,You may want to consider a atleast a 6x12 open or enclosed if you plan on hauling ice chests,fire wood,campng gear etc.

Thanks D. Honestly, I think that for what we have to do with it, and the tow vehicle in consideration, the smaller and lighter the better.
Not to mention the budget... Paying cash and need to keep it under $600 or so to be comfy. It will not be used very much at all (Rhino is usually in the moho) and when it does, it will be to bang on for the most part.
Thanks for the advice though. When I said fire wood, I meant for the house. When we "camp" other than the moho, we do it only with backpacks.
Good advice though, and were we to have a different useage, I would certainly take it.

Still looking for one...

nothing on Craig's List?

I have a single axle that a boat used to sit on that you can make into a utility trailer by putting a piece of plywood on it. Interested?
