    Don't all Harley's spend a lot of time on trailers rather than the road

    Have you put a ride on up there yet? From the looks, you may have issues getting hung up.

    Thanks Man

    Thought I would get away with them but the wife said in a KIT LIKE VOICE "Not tonight michael" and so i changed them to grey to match the ute wheels. I cried for a little then they have grown on me.

    Cheers Pete

The ute will need to have a lockable canopy. Would like to put another tool box on the other side of the trailer for shovels and crow bars and the pole hedger. My garage is too low to stand rakes etc up so when the trailer full everything goes in the back of the car. Also been tossing around ideas for a removable cage for the top of the trailer and or hooks to hang shovels and rakes inside the walls.
    Hi Andy, is that a standard box on the side of your trailer, or custom made? I'm in Similar position with wagon towing trailer and I've got 2 child seats in the back so tools don't fit too well. Does having one box on one side upset the balance of the trailer or OK?

    ps I know it's a bit of a grave dig post, but just looking at boxes on trailers setup!

    Has anyone been able to find the longer cables for the Pythons? They come in lengths up to 9 m but I can't find anywhere.

    It's a standard box, came with trailer, there's also a full sized one available. With the wagon if it's got a 60/40 back seat split try putting the two seats beside each other and the 40 down then you can put your whippy or pole hedger etc on that side and blower and chainsaws and hand tools on the other side against the back of the 60. (hope that makes sense if not I'll set mine up and photo it for ya, just let me know.) You won't notice the box on the side of the trailer, it may sit a bit lower than the other side but you won't notice it when driving or reversing. Best thing about a wagon is that it locks with the push of a button but the down side is fuel vapours and grass etc off the snippers in the cabin.
