Anyone adapted their car trailer to have removable flares. I have to widen the trailer as im sick of changing the comp truck tyres over as their too wide to fit on.
Thinking or making my flares bolt on , removable, so i can run up over the tyres instead of having to make ramps over the flares.

Re: Car Trailer with removable flares
That's quite a good idea. I'd suggest one of two ideas. First off I'd try to move the flares out as wide as possible. They will need to be cut off then make up a spacer and welded back on. Make sure your tyres can move around and won't rub on the guards or spacers. I'd say this would be your best option.
Otherwise you could get removable guards made up. I wouldn't bolt them on as this would be too time consuming. Some sort of spring bolt type set up to hold them on would be strong enough, fast and fail safe. There are maximum widths for trailers, so keep in mind not to exceed these.
Do you have any pics ?

You have a 4x4 with comp tyres on it, strengthen the guards and drive over them, what do you need ramps for

We had'em on citrus bin trailers, mostly only last a year tops.
Better to make stronger arches and drive on over them IMO

Re: Car Trailer with removable flares
Why don't you guys just put the deck above the wheels?
I picked up one of these trailers to put my Wrangler on when I got to England.
7'6" wide. (90" or 2286mm)

Re: Car Trailer with removable flares
They bring the ride height up a fair bit which increases weight, loading, stability and wind resistance problemslukethedork wrote:Why don't you guys just put the deck above the wheels?

Re: Car Trailer with removable flares
Drive over guards are the way of the future. Keeps the weight that bit lower than having the deck above the wheels.
This trailer has had everything from Zooks through to Chev K20's, my 3t excavator and the old buggy.
