My mate has one like that, it also has a solid bed and sides that can be fitted.
Ideal for running scrap to the cash man

i need to board out the centre on mine aswell as i will be wanting to carry pallets on it soon aswell

If you are talking about the Jimny you can legally tow that behind the 3rd gen with an A frame.

The jimny basically becomes an unbraked trailer but as it will be under the ton that will be fine.

I can make you an A Frame to suit for much cheapnes sir

but a vehicle on an A frame has to be fully road legal aswell now as there are 2 wheels on the road.I bought a dolly for transporting surfs but as they weren't road legal i couldn't use it anymore for surfs

this is the same trailer as i have got.It weighs 500kg and a max weight of 2600kg's and big enough to take a surf.It is movable with one person and can be loaded while not hitched up to the towing vehicle

I find it a very good trailer and only weighing 500kg's you forget you are towing it

Does it only weigh 500kg? Thats good...........My surf and cr@ppy trailer weighs 2700kg and you saw my trailer, it's made out of tin cans.

That's got to be up for challenge mate, the A frame turns the car into a trailer surely.

If I cut the front off it and closed it up I could call it a camping trailer.

Don't think a 2nd gen can tow 2700kg legally.

cant do that anymore Brian
I looked into it
EU rules on trailors changed last year

Don't think a 2nd gen can tow 2700kg legally.

That was 2700kg unladen, so assuming the truck weighs in at 2000kg the trailer must weigh 700kg.

Yep which means you can't tow a surf, with a 2nd gen.

Where as a 3rd gen is rated to tow 3500kg

Might be cheaper for me to buy a landcruiser, although they seem be holding thier prices very well.
