Tow rig conversion and trailer build
- Thread starter high plains drifter

Love what you've done to the trailer! Those aluminum plates, talk about making use of stuff when needed. I love little stuff like that.
And you reinforced the tongue which is a smart move. When I would tow my trailer whether there's a rig on it or not, you can visually see that area bend up and down as you trail along. All I've done to my trailer is change the wheels and tires, no effort into scaling it out! lol
Those straps look spot on and came out great too. Yeah the spring button cinch things aren't scale but they're quick and nifty for rig securing or releasing. I've seen scale realistic ratchet straps before that I think RC4WD used to sell but during my hunt for a set of something similar I didn't come across anything solid.

I love it! If you need more tiedown thingies, I found these:
I just found this on AliExpress:
$4.62 | 10 copper pillar screws, hardware can be DIY by hand, hand tools, copper accessories
Cherry on top, would be to put scale bolts on the deck, where your tires ride too, just an idea...
