    Here is a unique build for a step deck. Notice the size of the outside rail? Normal step deck ramps for the rear but pull up ramps in the deck to get up on the step. Pulled in next to me while getting a tire fixed. IMG_20160811_084700668_HDR.jpg IMG_20160811_084653042.jpg IMG_20160811_084839203.jpg

    Doesnt look like he let any weeds grow under it. A lot simpler than what I have to do.

    Pretty cool. Did he chop the cross members to get the ramps sitting flush?

    Yeah the cross members are cut. Did not look very close at it. They bought it used with the ramps in it.

    Looks like a Tarasport or Cherokee brand trailer, they build one like that.

    Have seen this in a few other trailers as well, the first that comes to mind is Tarasport

    It says Reinke on the main beam. I know they are still in business, but I think they quit building trailers awhile ago. (2010 or 11 maybe?)
