Just seeing the Name PJ on your trailer gets my blood boiling. I have a 2011 PJ Deck Over Dump with drop sides (14 foot long goose neck). It has NEVER been in salt and is babied beyond belief. After one year and one month the paint started coming off in sheets! Now, much of the paint is gone and it is a rust bucket. It has only been used for light stuff like bales of straw, rice coal and wood chips. Both hydraulic lines had to be replaced after only two years because they are leaching so bad. Then the hydraulic cylinder started leaking and had to have the seals replaced. They are an absolutely useless company that wont stand behind anything and get offended for accusing them of making complete and utter junk. They blamed one of there employees that must have been working that day for not prepping the metal correctly. After speaking with 22 (not 2 but 22) different owners in my area who have various colors, years of manufacture and type of trailers but all PJ branded they ALL have the same issues! I spoke with the PA Attorneys General office and of course once the year is up PJ is off the hook for everything. One of our local very large rental places sent one back down to PJ because on its first day out it came back and after hauling a skid-steer the paint was starting to come off the outside sides. PJ sent it back and said it was misuse. Useless product and even worse people. Sorry for my rant but after spending over $10k it is sickening what they do to guys that are just trying to buy a quality American made product.
Thanks again,
Glenn
Sorry to hear about that. I've had my PJ two years now, nearly daily use, and it's still in great shape considering... No paint flaking off. I'm actually about to buy another PJ, a dump trailer.
