    UPDATE - Found a Cat trailer that looks pretty good, is there anything I’m missing?

    Agree. Except that I'd use the far more substantial stake pockets instead of the rub rail.

    UPDATE - Found a Cat trailer that looks pretty good, is there anything I’m missing?

    I completely agree with that the rear tie-downs can be the most important, but four... The two that would be crossed is a no-no in the first place, and if at about 45 degrees their strength/efficiency is cut in half even if the abrasion between them hasn't lowered their WLL. And that's not even...

    UPDATE - Found a Cat trailer that looks pretty good, is there anything I’m missing?

    No. Aside from that straps don't like being rubbed against each other, you're giving up a fair amount of strength by having the straps at that much of an angle. To me the most important part is to keep the trailered vehicle from moving forward. That's because nobody always have control over how...

    Look at what Best Aluminum Ramps has to offer. Might be quite appealing compared to making a set. I've had a set made to specs for a trailer and for a very reasonable price. And they're knife edged which is a great feature with the Challenger's splitter.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    True...if the parts behind the hp are up to it. If I want more power I'll drive the 'Cat instead. Although, it would've been stuck long before reaching the eight or so inches of snow. And if we actually get some snow this winter, the TRX is a much better choice than either Challenger.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    I know. But that one is just fine as is. Besides, I'm surprised that the tiny drivetrain parts hold up to 300 hp.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    No need for a blade. The splitter does a decent job.

    Why doesn't anyone make nice WB Mudflaps?

    I'm about to use double sided tape, not wanting to drill or replace plastic rivets with screws.

    UPDATE - Found a Cat trailer that looks pretty good, is there anything I’m missing?

    Yeah, these wheels weren't the truest ones I've ever seen. But then, I didn't expect perfection since they came from Florida. At least they had ground off most of the alligator tooth marks.

    UPDATE - Found a Cat trailer that looks pretty good, is there anything I’m missing?

    It definitely can't hurt anything to have them vibration free. No reason not to balance any tire that sees speeds over 30 or so. Somewhat related, this week I got reminded of how important road force balancing can be. It was a set of refurbished wheels and more winter friendly tires for the GT...
