<p>[QUOTE="fortycalglock, post: 3654321, member: 67063"]I assume you're talking about floor not frame crossmembers. I think you're going to find the cost outweighs the value of the trailer unless you do everything yourself and your time is not valuable to yourself. I forget what the quote was to replace the frame crossmembers on my 98 Transcrap, but I ended up selling it for $4k as is. This was after I put a kingpin and plate, along with some replacement steel above it a year previous for $1500+, and that was a smoking deal. It was a slow time for the shop around Christmas, and they originally told me $2500, but they needed some work more than the extra grand. I've never been happier getting rid of trailers than when I got rid of both 98 Transcraps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
