I have a 2012 PJ. I have been happy with my PJ. It was a little more expensive but, it is built very well. It has 7K axles and I have it registered at 9990. I am thinking about trading it for a tilt deck 2' longer sometime soon. Here are a few pictures.
If you have a chance could you show how you attached the pipe stakes. Id like to make some for my trailer. Looks like yours are made from channel iron?
I put one of these link things on mine with a short piece of chain. It really gives better access if you have a bedliner. Also my straps hook right on to the chain.
Here's another load of firewood from this weekend. It was over 2 cords. I could get more in if I stack it but, it's much easier to dump it in with the kubota.
