Mines ordered... figured id go this way then a full blown trailer for my car. Summit being 35 mins away for me this is a much more economical choice.

Ill PM you some pics when i get her all assembled.

 

There is a great DIY on here by CoralDoc if you have not seen it already

 

Keep in mind the ride height and rake angle of the car (and the hitch design) also factor in.

 

Thanks!

Here's a direct link to the FAQ. Just scroll down a bit.

For the drawbar, the advice given by mikegarrison is spot on. There is some variation among different trailer designs and setup. You want the trailer to be level. Make sure that you have at least 50 lbs of tongue weight and the trailer rides nicely.

 

If you can find the thread on the Chase Race hitch, I'm pretty sure that I posted what I was using for a ball mount with the AP2 version of the hitch and the Harbor Freight trailer with 12" wheels.

 

While I was at it, I snapped some pics of my newly constructed trailer...

This is going to be my solution to securing the tires. The tires will be stacked two high, face to face, and strapped together and down to the trailer.





The drawbar I used was a 3/4" shank, 2" drop (or rise in my case), 1.25" by 1.25" receiver

Can someone tell me what box you used on the front (or back) of your trailer? Preferably with some pics. Thanks.

 

Just go to Home Depot or Lowes or one of those places and buy an appropriate-sized poly construction storage box.

 

I went to 7 different places....

Home Depot, walmart, kmart, tractor supply, dicks, ollies, then finally Lowes...

The one at lowes was perfect

 

thing looks like it's a carcinogen
