Okay, now that I've seen that bed with a wrap around bumper, I want to buy it back! Looks great!

Thanks Kaiserman! I am proud to say it's mine & it's paid for itself time and time again. I put the tailgate down and use it as a work bench, too.

Mine used to. Hopefully the red J10 will, if it ever gets done.

I took some scrap in and once the trailer was emptied, I hauled a yard of topsoil to take care of some much needed landscaping.

Hauled my new trailer about 25 miles through morning city traffic with no trailer brakes hooked up.
Thank goodness for hydroboost.

From now on, Pushmobile will live on the trailer.

The original bed off the truck. I built a 2x2 frame and welded it to the bottom of the bed, and made hinges on the back. Now I just need a hydro pump for a custom Jeep bed dump trailer. It'll look better when its painted to match...

I drug a B250 van and a trailer with 2 big street bikes on it up there. I had no idea what I was in for. It was my first trip to CO.

Man, that's terrible! Did the rear axle take damage? Viror (another member here) did something similar to his wide track chief.
