Default Finally got a trailer.

Now if I just had a car to put on it I'd be set.

Its been at evolution for 2 months. The seal blew in the turbo, they sent it to PT to fix, PT sent it back worse then it was when went in, it blew oil all though my exhaust and IC. Now the turbo is back at PT, and my whole turbo system has to come out to clean the oil out.

I just want to go racing, but a high power keeps denying me my wish.

What kind of truck do you have to haul the trailer?

I have the JEG's rachet tie downs. I like the ends better then some of the more common ones.

I tie to the K-member in the front and my extreme roll control bar in the back (you can go off the axle). I go straight from the K-member and cross the ones in the back. I also use axle straps at all points.

I like the Featherlight because you can remove the fender, makes it easy to get in and out of the car. No crawling out of windows!!

I can remove the fenders on mine as well. I've been using a uhaul trailer before that and it was a pain.

Bought one about 3 months ago. At the time I considered it $3000 mod that didn't even go on the car. Now I realize it was a good investment. During Fun Ford, a $15 turbo tubing bracket broke and disabled the vehicle. Also nice to not have to change the wheels.
