Springs and Graphics

Postby sjordanjeff » Tue Apr 05, 2011 9:02 pm

I got my springs finished today. Pulled the bottom leaf out and put some heavy duty grease between the leafs. Taking a new trailer apart is a whole lot easier than one that's been over the road for some years. I'm anxious now to test the ride. Oh, and had the wheels balanced...

My CT is Silver with black trim. Not wanting anyone to give away secrets, but have noticed some really cool graphics on some units. Wondering if anyone might share some sources and idea's CT is a 5x8 rgds, Jeff

The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...

When I ordered my trailer they had a motorcycle package that had diamond plateing on the sides and back of the trailer but I didn't want to spend the extra money I think it was 600.00 more? but when I went to pick up the trailer mine was the only one on the lot that didn't have it and it really looked plain so started looking on Ebay.
I found a guy that bought a closeout and I made him a offer on quite a few and he gave me a better deal than what he was selling them on Ebay for, after I send him a 200.00 paypal I started wondering if I was going to get them because I bought them direct from him but he sent them and it sure made it look better.

I just found a local sign shop and gave him an idea of what I wanted. I applied them myself and I'm happy with the quality.

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

New exterior pic's posted

Postby sjordanjeff » Thu Apr 07, 2011 9:26 am

Silly me. I tried to post the pic's, was having trouble, and forgot. Posted front and rear 3/4 views today. I need to do a side view but it's a pretty overcast day today.

Thanks for the posts and idea's, I would like to do something cool but am artistically challenged so ideas are humbly accepted with serious gratitude.
