Maybe attach some kind of "bucket" or holder on the side of it - like an umbrella stand - for breaker bar, torque wrench etc. Like you, not sure what to do about jack stands. I don't want or need two sets of those and neither does my wallet...so hopefully there will be an easy and efficient way to get those from garage to trailer. I have grown to love my JP jack stands and don't see myself using cheaper stands at the track.
There is the option of a dolly for easy transport on and off the trailer. The dolly can also be used for a stack of wheels or moving other heavy stuff. At the risk of killing my dolly sales - you can use a basic HFT dolly for about $10. We start with a more expensive dolly to get better quality wheels/casters (the HFT casters can be sticky so check a few before you buy), install pins to keep the stands centered on the dolly and add the Jackpoint label for a retail of $40, RL price of $30 or less if purchased with stands.

Here is a picture of my crash cart (Rubbermaid #G2371381) loaded up, ready for the track...

Name: Lars crash cart.jpg Views: 75 Size: 59.7 KB

It fits 4 JP jack stands, my racing jack (modified to perfectly nest the JP hat) and a bunch of tools necessary for wheel changes and more.

You're insane, you know that right?

If I was smart I would have bought PJ's trailer. Maybe I'm smarter now and will buy the next thing you want to sell...

^ you have the dually - mooty will have a 44 tpd GN for sale in 6 months

Re the Rubbermaid cart - drill some holes in it and use some bungy staps to hold that stuff on

Re the nitrogen hose reel: nice touch... Put in a $1 machine to operate it... Nitrogen in the paddock is like a fresh bong... Everyone wants to hit it for free

That trailer is a major steal! I looked for 3 solid months, searching CL nationwide. Nothing but junk for the few TPDs that I did find.
