Saw this simple 4x8 utility trailer listed on craigslist for ~$200 and shot an offer for $100 not expecting much. To my surprise, the seller said if I came to get it within the next day or two, he'd accept!

After I got there I got another surprise! The owner just got the plates renewed so they are good till Jan-2015. I'm not sure if I can transfer them to me or if it's even worth it. The trailer is gonna need rewired, painted and overall cleaned up but for hauling a quad or general use, I don't think I did too bad! I've been looking for something small to pull behind my Jeep since a 2 door wrangler lacks space.
I know it isn't much but all I really wanted it for was to move my wife's old yamaha quad from her fathers to where we live now.

The quad has been sitting for probably 15 years and I want to fix it up so she can ride it again. It has a huge sentimental value since her late grandfather bought it for her. I know everyone is going to say it isn't worth it but some things you can't put a dollar value on.
Aside from getting pulled over and getting a warning from a WV state trooper for no trailer lights, everything went pretty well. Can't really blame the trooper though, the connector for the lights broke from sitting out for who knows how long and I was hoping to be home before it got dark anyway. Unfortunately that didn't happen and I knew I was going to get pulled over. Thankfully he was really understanding. Loaded up the quad and made it home in one piece. Now to get to work cleaning both up and getting ready for summer!
