Sounds like another great build and its interesting to see what options you guys liked and wanted tweaked on the last one.

Once you go to a goose you'll never go back. I even hate pulling my two place around
I hear ya.
I just can't do my business without a truck with a shell on the back to haul Magazines and Books around in. For me its absolutely Life or Death that I have a large dry storage/transportation area.
And I can't imagine the hassle of removing the shell EVERY single weekend all winter long.
Prepping the trailer for the paint booth.

Yeah, I hear ya on that one.
There may come a point in my life where that is no longer the case and then I WOULD absolutely give a GOOSE NECK a try!
Just tote the big enclosed around everywhere!!! :deadhorse:
Oh Ya, YOUR a Funny guy!!
Looks like I am going to Boise next week to pick up the new trailer!!
What about the new 17 SuperDuty to hook it to??

One item at a time there Eric.
This is an expensive hobby and I can't afford all of it at the same time.
Still working on paying for 3 new sleds this year!!
Had a nice opportunity to chat with some of the guys from Mirage this weekend at the Salt Lake City Snowshow where they had several of their trailers on display.
Looks like my trailer "was" done and ready for pickup tomorrow before we got into a conversation about Floor Glides.
In the last 2 trailers I installed a full set of SuperTrax SuperGlides on both ramps and the main floor. In my oppinion there is nothing that makes it safer to walk inside of a trailer with ice on the floor than the guides that have traction knobs on them like the SuperGlides.
Over the weekend they asked if I would be game to try the trailer with a set of Caliber brand guides factory installed. I of course said absolutely!
So it looks like Mirage is evaluating the possibility of offering their Poly-Bead floors with an upgrade option of Caliber brand Guides.!

We have run the caliber grip glides in the past two trailers and will be installing them in the new trailer we pick up Monday. I have never seen them and the SuperGlides side by side but I would bet they are very comparable. However the Calibers are a bit cheaper to buy I believe. Either way we have loved ours!
We are going to try the Super Clamps in the new trailer for the first time. This should be a nice addition and speed up the loading and unload times.

Which model of Calber glides? They have a number of options. I had their low profile glides on a past trailer and they worked great. But they offer many different sizes, dept and traction type ones like the Super glides as well.
Those choices are entirely up to MIRAGE.
One of the joys of playing with the Prototype trailer is that THEY get to chose which goodies I get to evaluate as part of the project.
Soooo........
How soon till we see pictures of the new trailer with the new Doo's inside?

Just taking a GUESS here, but I am betting I won't get the trailer with the extra mods done till the day before the BOISE show...
Could be wrong, but that is my guess right now.

How about 2 days after the show, should give them time to clean all the foot and finger prints off of it from demo'ing it at the show!!
Any preference between the two ramp traction companies?
Caliber and Superglides?

I have superglides in mine that I installed 10 years ago but some have gotten hammered and I need to replace some sections.
