TSC 5x8 Trailer

Postby kenaum » Wed Dec 31, 2008 8:43 pm

After dreaming for 3 years, it looks like I'm finally going to get started with my build.....
Does anyone know the stock # or order # of the 5x8 no floor Carry-On trailer that TSC sells ? also, what seems to be the going price when it is ordered from a local store ?

My Northern Tool has them in stock! Next door at TSC, you have to order them. NT has them for 329.95.

TSC 5x8 Trailer

Postby kenaum » Wed Dec 31, 2008 10:40 pm

Ok....now I am Really confused. If I read the fist two messages in that thread correctly, the 5x8 no floor trailer produced by Carry On is $501.83 from TSC.....but the exact same trailer from Northern is $319.00 ($299.00 on sale). Is this true ?

Ken: :)

I think it may be time to let your fingers do the walking and call some of
these stores to see what the price is and maybe find a sale. Some sales are
on and so the prices vary.

Local store search

You guys are amazing !!!.......time for some research.....part of the problem is the nearest Northern store is more than 4 hrs away in Memphis.....

Ken:

If you decide to have them send it too you there is a
10% discount online sales till midnight on the 1st.

But I would still call the other stores that carry the trailers for discounts that
may be closer to you. The phone is a powerful dollar saver sometimes.

Northern store 5x8 is bolt together.
TSC store 5x8 special order is welded together.

Now the price difference makes sense....can anyone tell me the degree of difficulty for each trailor to relocate the axle assy rearward ?

Northern Tool Part # 125976 Carry-On Trailer 5x8 No Floor Welded

I had removed the fenders before photo.
I guess this really dosn't help if the closest Northern is 4 hours away. Does TSC price match?
