I was able to meet with Steve the other day & got some pics of a production trailer. This is a very nice unit (I think), and the price is certainly right. Let me know what you think

I don't see any brakes in the photo and I feel real strongly they should be on all off-road trailers no matter what the weight. I'd even like to see a hand parking brake. Build quality looks excellent. I'd opt for the upgrade with tongue storage, tailgate and that which was shown in previous shots.

That was my exact thought when I looked at Shanes post a couple days ago, looks like there is mounting tabs on the axle to install brakes maybe its a option from Ruger. A hand parking brake would be a good thing also IMO, the Aussie seem to use them alot on their trailers, can't think of to many American built trailers that have them. The build quality looks good for the $$ although I would not call it overbuilt by any means, probably be good enough for a lot of people needs.

Pretty sure Bob Brown told me a parking brake was available for a Dexter Torq-flex axle so that's at least one that
could be had.

Did you get a weight from the builder? I have not seen that on his website.

Hey guys ! New to the forum and just found this thread. I have the first generation trailer and have been using it for months now as Steves' test mule. I love it. I've taken the trailer on all types of terrain, some pretty rough trails, hit a tree and dropped it off 4 ft boulders. This thing is over built...as usual pics don't do it justice. I have driven up mountain passes to every trail and feel very comfortable towing it back down without trailer brakes. Any questions let me know, you cant beat the price and quality. I'll post a pic when I figure out how.

a few pics...
Nice looking trailer.
