I've dynoed numerous of my cars and motorcycles for decades.
I've done many hundreds of pulls on at least 6-7 different dynos
Always thought it would be awesome to have my own.
Recently I've been watching a guys youtube channel that has his own dyno and posts videos doing tests on parts and tuning-

Car dynos are very expensive, large, heavy, especially AWD ones.
Motorcycle dynos are smaller, cheaper, but since I am just a guy playing around in my garage- I don't want to give up one of my 2 bays to have a massive thing permanently take up space.
Just for fun a couple days ago I was looking on Ebay- and this old Dynojet dyno trailer popped up.
I've seen guys / shops take normal dynos, both car and bike- and bolt them down on flat bed trailers before- but I've never seen a dyno that was built as a trailer from the factory!! Wow.
So- the mobility solves my only real concern about space. I can store it in my shed. And being able to take it wherever I want it cool.
I have been talking with Dynojet- and although it is an older model- they still fully support it and I can upgrade it to the newest electronics if I ever wanted to. They say it should weigh less than 1,000 pounds- so moveable with pretty much anything with a tow hitch.
Now I just need to figure out how to get it from Longmont Colorado to New Jersey.
