Bought a Big Tex 5x7 four years ago and in the first two years both steel fenders had fallen off. Use it for tough work over rough terrain however. Recently bought a 5x8 trailer from Northern Tool and decided to rip off the low quality lights and put in 6 LED's. Put the rear ones in tall boxes mounted up high and put the side markers into frames to keep from getting damaged off road. $200 into the lights and boxes and well worth it. Replaced lights on the Big Tex 5 times in 4 years. The trailer was used by one of my workers and guessing he jack knifed it on a building as the tongue is crooked and one of the wheel housings is bent. Don't want to deal with it so giving it to a friend to have for free.

Bought a 04 H&H 20 ft tilt bed trailer a couple years ago and it's a pretty nice trailer, lousy paint but fast trailer. IMO a better trailer is PJ. Same year bought a 14ft dump trailer 15K gross and it's quite the trailer! Paid $6,000 for it brand new and now similar ones are selling for around $8,000, bought prior to the steel hike.

 

I checked out 5 or 6 different trailers and none of them compared to the quality of Big Tex.

 

Do you still have the trailer? I may be interested, I am in AZ, Tucson way.
