    When I did flatbed few years ago I had one box. Talk about crappy. I wanted the 3 because I hate cab racks that have the 3 doors. They always get messed up and look ugly so fast.

    Here’s pics of the trailer. It doesn’t have the fully enclosed rear that I like the looks of and only has 5 lights per side but either way it looks neat. I do love the welded hooks every 2 ft though helps with tarping if you use stretch rope. I’ll update pics when I pick it up Friday with the rack and boxes.

    You wouldn’t hear me say anything negative about that trailer. It’s a nice piece, man.

    Arrived to get my trailer. Will pick it up in the morning. I deeply regret not getting the reitnour down south. It’s a high of 9 degrees tomorrow, currently -19, and a “feels like “-36”

    Going to have to unload all my crap from this trailer to that one cold as balls.

    Anyway trailer looks really nice. Couple downsides. One, I thought it was set up to dump the rear axle. It is not. I should have paid more attention. It’s still really nice and at a good price.

    Also detoured to tri city canvas to buy flatbed gear. Pretty disappointed. I called them days beforehand and they assured me they had everything. I get there and they have 0 USA chains and never even stock them, so the lady definitely lied to me. Was also forced to get rip stop on one tarp and 18oz top, lightweight sides for the other one. Custom orders are weeks out.
