    Seeing as MB's idea of a dual cab GQ with tipper tray is slightly out of the budget (damn!) I have ordered the second trailer from balance trailers. They reckon they'll have it ready for Saturday morning.

    I could but would add a lot to the cost and for not much gain really.

    I'd also upgrade one of the axles with Electric brakes mate. No brainer on a trailer that is rated more than 1
    Ton. Remember my near miss on the way to your wedding mate. My camper brakes failed and the camper easily pushed my GU where I didn't want to go. That trailer full of wood will be a couple of ton and you will be thankful for the brakes. Worth every extra cent
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    It would look bloody sexy with those alloy wheels you have off the Camry!

    If youre exceeding 2 tonnes, then breakaway function is needed and only electric brakes capable of that. But seriously who has an 8x5 with breakaway function??

    What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

    Your right.
    But an 8x5 with those height sides would easily be 4-5 cube.
    So I'd say 2 ton is very achievable.

    I would too, especially with 400 wide spacing. .
    But they are bought from China and assembled. So I'd think any mods out side of their options wouldn't happen.
    Also they are all hot dipped galv.

    It does have manual override brakes. One day I will change to electric when I put brakes on my camper.

    The trailer is only rated to 2 tonne so doesn't have breakaway. Could easily fit more than 2 tonne though.
