Where can I get the small 'dolly style' wheels and tires ? I've looked around for 'small custom wheels' and most don't fit normal 4 on 4 or 5 on 4.5 bolt patterns . I need to build a couple of 'mini boat trailers' and a 'dolly trailer' for a runner bottom . Who has the wheels/tires/hubs, that match ? At this point I only need the parts, I can't wait for these to be built, I'll do it myself . Thanks

So you need trailer parts? Or trailers? Adrenaline carries parts right here in Havasu and they sell what is called axle in a box. They are variable width axles that you determine the width then weld.

They are now getting into building trailers from scratch. They built one for RCL, but there was some hiccups. With anything new there is growing pains, and now that they have a few under their belt and the old staff from Enduro they can get it done.

This is the frame of a 20' flat bed triple axle they are building right now.

Rusty at Ultra also has DOT #'s now and is building boat trailers under the name ALll In Custom Trailers.

If you can go outside of Havasu then Bear Trailers will do full tilt custom trailers. If you can imagine it, Vic can build it.

Hi George, the wheels most guys are using are 10" aluminum golf cart wheels and DOT tires. Some guys use steel wheels for added strength. Here's one of many sites - http://www.golfcarttirestore.com/alum_wheels.htm

You can check with Mike Peasley or Pete Giroux (818) 203-8695 (pete@girouxboats.com) on where to get axles or anything else.

Did they close? I was there about a month plus ago and they indicated they would continue at the Bellflower location...

FYI:
Last I got a bid from Vic he didn't want to go over 20' long and wouldn't do buggy width.
That may have changed.
Good work though and I send my maint and repairs to Bear.

Frank over at Adrenaline just did some work for me and it was top notch. They got lots of parts too.

I've posted this before somewhere and don't remember where. Look into tow truck dolly wheels and tires. We have them on all the tow trucks and they are an aluminum 5 spoke style, 5 on 4.5. Even my Taylor Dunn golf carts use the same wheels. I'll do some searching and post back up what I find.

Thanks also for the places to get the 'little wheels' . I need to figure out if I can be 'a good customer', or 'do it myself' . Thanks for all the info .

I think that somebody offered Danny 'stupid-money' for the land.....and he decided that 'stupid-money' would work well in his retirement plan...

Yea someone paid $1,365,500 for the building. The entire side yard belongs to Edison. I wonder if he leased it from them.
