I'm searching Craigslist to find a trailer for my 914, and I'm wondering what others are using. What's the smallest I can go comfortably? Is there a reason to go a lot larger?
Just looking for opinions. |

Yeah...already ahead of you on the winch. Just got a 3,500lb off of Amazon. I forgot I had $200 in credit I hadn't used yet, so it was an easy grab.
I'll fill in the back after I hammer out that fender. I have a bunch of rubber liner that I can rivet into place from the inside. That'll keep it from flipping up until I can weld something permanent. You're 100% right on the wood too. I may actually do that sooner than expected. The wheels on my rotisserie may not be the same width as the ramps, so I'll have to do something about that. At any rate...it's home and I can play from there. |
