Default Track trailer nearly done

I am nearly complete with the trailer. I only need to fashion a way to secure the ez-up canopy and jackstands as well as decide if I really want a 3000psi tank towing behind me. It tows very well, fully loaded (sans nitrogen tank) the tongue is 61 pounds. Sorry for the picture quality. My camera died and my wifes camera battery died as I took the first picture. So, her slvr phone took over .

The trie rack is very secure. As a precaution (someone said about dropping air pressure to slide the tire out) I am using a cable to run through the wheels and securing it to the trailer. .

Very Cool. I had wanted to do a custom hitch/trailer setup, but then I found out I can fit all 4 wheels and tools in the coupe anyways.

I could get everything into the car, but the car will get damaged, maybe not immediately, but it will. I also like to bring a large canopy (10x15) to keep the sun and rain off and I'm a tool freak .

Thanks. I gave a rough drawing of what I wanted to my lead engineer and I eventually got it. I could easily copy this for anyone else.

I ended up going with

I wish I only towed one set of tires with me I've taken up to three sets out of town with me, depending on where I'm going and for how long.

Well, if you want to carry all three sets on that trailer, my carrier can be adapted to yours. My carrier attaches to the trailer rails by sliding over four pins welded to the trailer. Two wholes are on each pin. I insert a bolt into each pin and a padlock in two of the pins (rear). I did this so I could still use the trailer for other things (like taking my tracter to the shop).

Cost wise, dunno. I could ask. Bear in mind that the trailer for me cost $480. It's probably near $1,100 for everything (including the trailer and my shop labor cost - I can get it for free, but thats just me ). I could get a a firm cost if you would like, just PM me.
