Default Speaking of trailers

Bought a new JimGlo trailer at Barrett-Jackson. The attention to detail is better than any trailer I have seen. They are built in Kingman Az. by prisoners and you can tell they take pride in building them. I met Jim of JimGlo probably 20 years ago but he has since passed on. His Son Tim bought into the company back when Jim was alive and I assume he and his Mom own the Company as they are both a shows where they display. Really nice folks and it is what I think is a really nice trailer. The main difference is a composite they use for the panels. If you look, each side, the floor, roof etc are 1 piece. No seams down the side. It is material I thinks they said was developed for marine use. Has a gelcoat on the outside and they say it stands up to hail etc. Trailer is about 1000 lbs lighter than the ATC that it replaced. Even the floor is that composite with a bedliner coating on it.

I bought the display model and had a couple changes made but this one is loaded with options like electric over hydraulic tongue jack with wireless remote, has little legs that drop down under the rear if you want to load a car without the tow vehicle hooked up. I love the smooth sides.

Fantastic. Almost too nice to use!
My father was in the trailer business for 40 years in Australia prior to retiring.

I got this because I no longer drag race cars around and don't need tool box etc. I sold my Duramax and got a Ford Raptor. Raptor should pull this fine. I'm sure there are more heavy duty trailer's out there but this is just perfect for me. I love seeing wiring laid out like they wanted it to look good, grommets where any wire passes thru a panel, etc. Everything seems thoughtful.
