Oh yeah, 4" long race ramps. You need those too.

Basically the little lift latches kinda suck at holding the fender if it gets hit by a blow-out. The theory is this will help to keep them on the trailer. That's the theory. :-) You could also put a padlock on them to keep the metal recyclers from stealing your fenders (or at least slow them down about 15 seconds)

In a blow out the fenders are known to leave themselves on the highway, sometimes leaving a nice set of scratches down the side of your car on the way off.

Home depot:
4 gate hasps (latches, i used stainless)
Appropriate qty of bolts and washers (i used stainless)
4 cotter pins
A drill/bit

let me know if you want any further pics of my accessories/mods. this is a really nice trailer.

Thanks I basically have a mini me setup to yours so will shoot you email with questions as I go.

Kas did a ton of research on this trailer too and he sent me a shopping list which I've been following as well

What winch did you get?

I just drive on, but winch is on the list. At some point space becomes an issue, and I'm debating using the front space on the deck between the front lip and the railing for gas cans... Would be interested in seeing pics of a setup. Including battery location + wiring.

Here's some pics of my setup (think you saw it at TH earlier this year). I'm using a warn winch and have a solar panel to keep the battery charged / maintained.

I still need to add a shelf below the tire rack for race ramps.

Don't slow down now. You still have 2.5 days to find a race car
