FocusTed Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 After spending all of last year carrying the tires, tools, jacks, and etc in my Focus... I bought a trailer for this year. It works pretty good. I can carry everything in the trailer except for my EZup. The trialer cost me $160, the hitch cost about $180 and the box was $40. I know the Hitch adds about 20lbs to the car, but it sure makes it easy for me. here's some pics... http://socal.nasa-tt.com/DSCF0001.JPG http://socal.nasa-tt.com/DSCF0002b.JPG http://socal.nasa-tt.com/DSCF0004.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
National Staff Greg G. Posted February 3, 2005 National Staff Share Posted February 3, 2005 Looks good Ted. After a year of lugging, packing, and squeezing 6 tires and all of my other gear into the SRT4, I bought an open car trailer. I just built a tire rack on it that will hold 8 tires. Looks like no more driving home without a clutch for me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchntx Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Just a heads up ... an autocross friend of mine used a setup identical to that for a couple of years. One day the trailer came apart at the seams ... literally and at hiway speeds. It was rather ugly. The metal had fatigued where the frame bolts together. The simple solution is to weld all the bolt together seams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simple solution is to weld all the bolt together seams. That's a good Idea. I think I'll do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
