When the time comes ... I suggest a TPD trailer. They are the best built small to medium size enclosed car trailer. They tow & brake excellent. Super well built. Have the sealed axle bearings changed every two years & it will last as long as you want it. Then when you sell it, you're probably get your money back.

I had several. The 20' with two 5200# axles or 24' with three 3500# axles are awesome combinations. You can see them here.

In so many words, that's what the owner of the shop said.

Ron,

Did you convey you have no problem paying for quality work and materials, but you just felt uneasy about paying for the addition on his house too?

Anyway, I took a page from Charlie and Mark and did something similar to Jack A$$ since we have the same front/rear suspension. 3"/16 ga. 304 SS and expansion joints, v-band clamped to a siamese x-pipe (corvette style), into my custom offset Borla XR1s and up and over the axles. All mandrel bends, Tig and purge welded.

I almost fainted when I got the quote today.

Done right, and should be out of the shop next Wednesday.
ok what did ya pay? that would be $2500 in my shop. I thought I read 3/16" tube. LOL

Sounds bad asss bro.

That number is about right Bro. I do need to set the record straight though: my comment on cost in no way reflects on the vendor quality or fairness of his pricing. I'm just used to buying junky 4x4 cat-back stuff. Now I know better
