Last year, I mounted my large gear and tool bays along the front and side rails if my utility hauling trailer because I wanted their weight to rely more on the car's rear suspension. But in all that time, I questioned whether that was the right decision, especially since I've recently done some work on the car's springs and struts.
This year, I plan to relocate those bins so they sit directly over the trailer's axle. Well, strapping them over the trailer width wise like I always have isn't a problem. But, doing it length wise is now.
There's two problems when mounting there. First is that I'd have to use towing steps over the top of the bins that would reach around and hook to the bottom of the frame. That would interfere with the proper packing of the trailer.
The other thing is that I could install hooks, but since the back rails are being redesigned to function as a ramp, specifically for the bins (they're heavy and have wheels. Standard hooks would I'm peas the bind and defeat the purpose of the new rear door.
So, I purchased some new recessed hooks. Special holes in the trailer's floor will need to be cut out in order to mount them.
