Make those LED.
And if really want to go wild.......a camera at the back so you can see what is behind you when reversing. -
So what do you guys think a trailer with all these options cost ?? $80,000 ??
Chewy352 Thanks this. -
If you do any oversize these options will make your life so much easier.
I would want chain pulls at least every two feet and every foot at the coil package. The utility brand trailers I usually pull have them every 4 feet. That's fine for long steel but not for machinery and equipment. There are ZERO chain pulls in the coil package. Pretty dumb design IMO. -
I've thought a floodlight mounted between the spreads would be awesome. Tight turn in a dark area? Flip a switch and light up the ground around your spreads.
I also heard of someone on here that has all his marker lights wired up as turn signals. "What do you an you didn't see my turn signal? There's 100 of them on each side dummy "snowman_w900 Thanks this. -
All the markers as turn signals is how both of my Benson steps are set up. Also have a 3 axle transcraft with them.
Best thing ever for backing into places off the road. No excuse for not seeing it when there's 15-20 lights per side flashing.Last edited: Jan 22, 2017
ReneeC, Chewy352 and snowman_w900 Thank this. -
I understand this one was just under $70.
80k beam, no oversize extras that we've mentioned. Also had several expensive options that aren't mentioned hereChewy352 Thanks this. -

Rope hooks. Maybe round spools that are stronger than a 5/16 chain, 3/8 would be nice.

Thanks guys for the ideas.
chain pulls / dunnage rack / sliding winch tracks are things I had intended to get even though I didn't mention.
-2 boxes on each side instead of just one a side...I didn't think of that, but will consider for sure.
-the dump valve on one of the axles I was considering, but will make it a definite.
Any particular reason you'll don't like the super singles ?MJ1657 Thanks this.
