Nice but given the apparent lack of deck mounted tie downs and an overhead rack for tires, I wouldn't take it without the dog. Dog is a must have.

Nice

Nice-looking trailer. How do you plan to secure the car ?

I would go to a Tracktor Supply store and get some "D" rings and bolt them in where you want them. Also find a way to lock in that spare tire as it will "disappear" shortly.

The trailer has 4 flush mount D-rings. I'll use T-bolts where the jacking points are and secure them to the trailer using 2" ratchet straps. I'll definitely lock the spare

This is probably the highest quality open trailer that I've ever seen in person. It is extrememly well built with super high quality welds. The D-rings are 360* fully welded and flush mounted. It's a lot of trailer for the money.

That's what I thought about my first instructor at CMP when I took his advice and before I knew him as the "SANDMAN".... Did a nice 450* spin at T1 -- it was pretty spectacular...
