trailers
how are you guys hauling your rigs on a car trailer if your 4x4 has a wide stance as far as wide tires on it?? how do you get them past or over the trailer fenders without tearing up the trailer fenders ??

You build them stronger to drive over them.
if i am not currently offending you, i will be shortly. -
I have built up wood blocks that set on the inside of the fenders.
Until it is built up that is.
My uncle has removable fenders on an aluminum trailer that is cool.Last edited by BIGRAM; 01-30-2010, 12:03 AM.1994 Dodge Ram 5.9L SWB

I measured my trailer before odering my wheels. I've got about 3/4" to spare.
Guys on full widths reinforce the fenders with angle iron, box tube, or two-by-fours.

But one on NAXJA I happened to remember from just last week:
Not a great pic of the rails, but you get the idea.
S'not real complicated.

It just occurred to me that my XJ is loaded and balanced just right when the rear tire just rubs the inside of the trailer fender.
On full widths, the tire would have to sit entirely behind the fender. I've accidentally loaded it like that before, and it left the tongue way too light. The trailer really wanted to wag.
Now I'm more careful.

mine has regular fenders, with just a piece of angle iron inside for a support to the center of the fender. i drive directly over the tops of the original fenders, and have never had a problem. my old wheels and tires were more than halfway off the sides of the trailer (i was 96" outside of tire). i haven't loaded it with the new wheels and tires yet, so not sure about now.zuk buggy.....it'll be a jeep eventually.Comment

Deckovers bring the rig up really high and can be a bit more unstable in off camber situations. Gooseneck deckovers work great. Bumper pull equipment (bobcat) trailers usually come with strong enough fenders to drive over.sigpicComment
