The only way that you are going to get away from production type welds, is to build your own trailer. In order for a company to remain profitable, they must maintain procedures that save time and money. When you build as many trailers as Bubba does, you can't expect him to weld every one of them. He has to hire employees to pick up the slack, and that gets expensive.
When I purchased my trailer, Bubba went out of his way to build EXACTLY what I wanted. He quoted me a price over the phone for a simple 18 X 8.5 deckover. When I went to talk with him, I had him add rails, electric brakes on BOTH axles, D-rings at all four corners, 8 ft. ramps, and D load range tires. The only thing he charged extra for was $15/tire to upgrade from C range.
We built Muleskinner's trailer by exactly copying my trailer (plus 2 ft.), and yeah, his trailer is built better than mine. But when you are building something for your own use, and not trying to meet deadlines, you do a nicer job.
I've owned mine for three years now, bought it for hauling 5 ATVs, and the 'crawler. It has been to the dunes on countless occasions, and several rockcrawling excursions, and the only thing I can b!tch about is the sh!tty paint on the ramps. I would recommend Bubba to anyone and feel confident that they will get a good product.
