“I’m about as brave as your pockets are deep”


If I never get to move another one I’ll be just fine with that.

 

nothing to special just a nice day out

 

Any thoughts on fenders over the back drive tires
This set seems to pickup rocks really bad
I don’t think I can get them high enough to clear the suspension travel and still miss the trailer when I put it down…thinking about putting it on the trailer itself but just don’t care for the look of that and it only works when the trailer is on

 

Don't they sell a set of the black double humpers that attaches to your axles instead of frame?

 

Minimizer plastic fenders. Had them for the last 9 years now. They even come in chrome if you really want.

I've dropped trailers on them many times and nothing more than a couple scuffs. I've also ripped a couple off by running over my mudflaps since they are attached to my rear fenders. The brackets snap off with no damage to the actual fender. $35 for each bracket tonput them back on. I just keep a couple spares under the bunk.

When I mount them I drop the bags and use a 1/2" board as a spacer on top of the tires. Set the fender on that and then line up the brackets.

The tops of the fenders are just slightly above the frame rails but they are far enough forward that the trailer rides up my ramps before coming even close to touching.

Here's a better picture. It's hard to see them in the light but I have a small set of ramps on top of the frame that rise right with the rear edge of the fenders. Even a flat nose trailer without rollers would ride up them. They are just slightly taller than the top of the fenders.

 

+1 for these. I put a set on my single axle back in the spring. I used the adjustable brackets.

 

I will look into that and even if they don’t I’m quite sure I can arrange that…might be tough keeping it together though when those axes get hammered on a washboard road it can get pretty violent.
