Trailers without tailgates... what do you use them for?

I was thinking about my latest purchase and all that I can haul in it, then severely realized that no tailgate really does hinder the trailer, it would be VERY difficult to load my mower in it R)

I have seen Boyink's pages of uses, and I am sure I will eventually find my own when I start actually traveling to wheel. But has anyone came up with unique uses for the military style trailers? I am sure mine will do some parade duty eventually when the flatty actually has a decent paint job, but until then I need to justify having it R)

 

that's why I bought one that had the back panel hacked up so I could install a tailgate with minimal guilt.

 

I DO need to get a load of topsoil to throw in the settled spots from repairing my sewer line...

 

A trailer without a tailgate makes a better boat than one with a tailgate!!!

 

HOLY CRAP! I have been looking for a picture like that!!! THANK YOU.

I was going to go make my own R)

 

that looks like the annual trailer races at the MVPA meet in Tower Park Marina, California

 

i didnt realize that a trailer in good shape was that water tight well with this new knowledge you now have a motorized wheelbarrow when it is hooked to the jeep

 

with an out board engine attached

 

Or a paddle...

 

The 1/4 ton trailers were designed to float just that, 500#. Ammunition works much better if you keep it dry.

When I was a kid my brother and I used to crawl into a wheel barrow and float around the lake. Had about 1/2 " of freeboard!

 

When ever i haul alot of loose stuff to the dump or dirt or sand. I usually have my son helping me and we end up standing it on end to get the last out of it. two guys can stand a M416 on end or just roll it over. I like standing mine on end so it don't fill up with water.......

 

I can see a redneck hot tub man I'm gonna have to start lookin for one of em too.

 

Like this?

 

yup xactly like that

 

Umm....Not exactly like the hot tub above...that's way too many hairy men in one trailer for me...
