I finally am going to be able to get a trailer in a week to a week and 1/2. And am in need of a good deal.

I honestly have only heard from a few people that have been happy with their bubbas trailers (all on here actually)...the bubbas trailers I have seen in person have all had crappy welds and inferior materials. For what I have seen has convinced me enough not to buy anything from them. I have heard great things about this place, they are in Texas so you would have to get them shipped but even with the shipping they are comparable to most other mfg.

I actually checked out their website from another thread, I emailed them about shipping. Do you know personally how much their shipping charges are? They haven't gotten back to me yet...

on their website it says $350 shipping to most states...they used to have it listed out for each state they delivered to and UT was only like $200...prices may have gone up since though :-\

I have one and I love it. I spent the extra and got the 7 foot ramps, the heavy duty jack, the different hitch, and the spare tire, thicker frame rails, and I can't remember what else I think there may have been a few more extras. The grand total was around 1700 I think, don't quote me on that. I think they're one of the best for the buck.

As for the crappy welds, maybe they had a crappy welder. All the welds on mine look good, no bugger welds anywhere. They only thing I don't like about them is they don't put any kind of sealer on the wood deck, you have to do it yourself.

TVlarsen on this board also has one exactly like mine and he like's his.

I have one also, and love it. I've owned a Big Tex, and i'd take my Bubba's any day.

Besides, the guy GAVE us the axles and spring setup for the charity build we did a few weeks ago... I'll always support those who support my interests.

Go up and talk with Bubba himself. Tell him that you're from RME. Remind him of the charity build. He'll hook you up.

Why go to someone who builds their trailers in another state and have to ship. Bubba will do any options or changes you want for a minimal charge. And have your trailer to you way sooner than someone from Texas.

Bobcat, his neighbor, My boss, Coreshot, B-rad, Joel, & Casey all have Bubba's and all love them. The only people I have ever heard of that don't like Bubba's are Shawn and Caleb. I personally would buy one. I've also owned a Big Tex and Bubba has better welds. As for material, I'm not sure what the difference is other than Bubba uses Bearing Buddy's that have a hole in the spindle so the grease gets to the front and back bearing. My Big Tex didn't come with Bearing Buddy's. Go at least check him out and make a decision for yourself.

May have never owned it personally but I have used a bubbas plenty...basically in the three years we (my former POB) had the trailer we basically ended up rebuilding the entire thing. The only original thing left was the main beam. The trailer was suppsed to have 5K lb. axles, brakes on both, HD everything, blah blah blah...it was supposed to be overly built (per our request), it was only ever used for hauling rice bags (dont weigh much) and four wheelers. This trailer was purchased almost five years ago so his quality, I'm sure, has improved. Shawn says the same things as I do so I know its not just me that has seen ****ty bubba trailers...

Original post asked for a good deal and I pointed him towards a good deal. IMO, even though they are cheapest around, bubbas is not a good deal.

I hear the "crappy welds" angle all the time. How many of us are currently wheeling a rig that has crappy FACTORY welds? Don't buy a Jeep, they have crappy welds.

No I am not. Read what I posted and think about it. THINK ABOUT IT! YJ's have some of the most ghastly factory welds known to man on the frame. Does that make YJ's a crappy rig? Does that make YJ's weak? Does that make crappy welds okay? Nope, nope, and nope-itty-nope. I can weld better than most welds on most trailers, including the ones I pull at work. We have a few trailers at work with an estimated 75 million miles on the original chassis, with crappy welds all over the place, and they still pass inspections, every time.
