I am building a trailer...Need to pick a color. Its a small military/heavy duty style so with that do I go OD green or the khaki/tan color? I don't want to to do flat black (that will be the fender color (I think). So what do ya all think?

Green or Tan?

This is a sweet trailer,  I considered it after seeing the JumpinJack trailer with the east up tent that was more than twice the price of the Costco one.

More...      Some pics are cropped funny from downloading. Sorry.

This thing worked well 1st time out. Found a couple things I want to change or upgrade. Will add BBQ and table someday.

  Hope you all like.
Awesome trailer! We just bought this exact same trailer and we're trying to get it rigged to accommodate 4 to 6 kayaks. Trying to figure a way to make part of the rack convert into a picnic table as well. You gave me some great ideas that I might have steal.>:D

I've had 4 on top and two on the bottom. Top ones on edge. I still need to add a locker for rods and paddles.

Victor,
There are 5 reviews on the link that is posted in the above post somewhere, all were good reviews.  From my understanding the Costco trailer is a lighter duty version of the Jumping Jack trailer.  The Costco trailer should be light enough to hardly change your tow vehicle's gas mileage. 
What is the price on the Costco trailer for anyone that knows?  It says 2999.00 on the site and in the corner there is a small "1,000 off", so is it 3999 with 1000 off to make it 2999 or is it 2999 with 1000 off to make it 1999?
Fishing is cheaper than therapy!

Here's my kayak trailer.  It started life as a single place jetski trailer.  The original owner was an electrician and welder by trade and made the second deck so that he could trailer all of his camping gear and his ski to the lake for family vacations.  Right now I just keep my Pro Angler on it, but there's going to be another Pro Angler being added in the near future.  It'll go on top.  Not sure if I'm going to lower the height of the top or not quite yet.  We'll see how loading and unloading the top boat goes before I make that decision.  Shouldn't be too tough to do though if I decide to go that route.  I'll probably leave the basket on top and just add some bunks on top of that so that I still have the basket space to haul extra gear.
