Latest trailer. Horse trailers are getting to be a very good value. Bought this for half what it cost last year. Three horse slant load with tack room and all the goodies. It looked like heck when I went to look at it, but I could tell all it needed was a little elbow grease and a good scrubbing. Looked like it had been parked the past few years.
I changed out the rear brake/tail lamps to LED's with reflectors instead of the grommets, fixed all the ground issues on the clearance lights, installed two round loading lights inside the horse area, a porch light, a 12 volt outlet in the tack room, back-up lights, a camera so we can see what the horses are doing going down the road, and serviced the axles since the seller did not remember when it was last done. Am glad I serviced the axles because they looked like they had the original grease and the bearings were starting to dry out. Did not like the look of one inner bearing, which I replaced. Also replaced three sections of floor that had started to rot out due to the trailer sitting in the same position for a long time.
Pulls very smooth behind my 1500 Silverado (I know its not a Ford, but sometimes it pulls a Ford
).
Took it to the insurance office for the inspection prior to insuring it, and the agent appraised it at $2500.00 more than I paid.
Forgot to mention the best modification of all, I added a "Serious Explorations" license plate frame!!!! Now it matches my other vehicles.
