It's a couple hours from Houston, but www.wacobill.com has been supplying trailers to many of us who road race for years.

A lot of car guys have bought their car trailers from Trailer Man. I think he is or used to be a sponsor on here.

If your that way, there is a trailer place on the I 45 North Gulf Bank exit on the right hand side (going north). It's on the feeder, cant miss it.

Tiago, did you find that trailer yet? I need to revise on what I wrote yesterday. If your going North on I- 45, get off of the Canino exit, a little ways down there are three! count them 3 nice sized trailer places each a rock throws from one another.

I have been shopping for a trailer for a while. There is a place on E-bay that sells TM Trailers. Its a car hauler with a metal deck and D-rings in the deck, etc for 2k. It made out of C-channel not angle iron. The best deal for a quality trailer around. He goes by truckparts67_72

Be careful if you go to trailer man. My buddy bought a trailer from them. They told him their used tires and wheels were good quality and he didn't need new. He drove 2 miles home. Loaded up his ATV and headed to the deer lease. He got 4 miles before a tire blewout and took the fender off the trailer. By the time he got Huntsville another tire let go. He took the tires/wheels to work with him the next day and broke them down to find they put a bunch of water in them to help balance them apparently. When he called them about it, they told him it was his risk for acceepting used tires. I know there is a risk, but it seems pretty shady.
