Great job on the trailer! I did the same thing a few months back with the HF trailer. Skitelluride531 might be interested in these photos. The wood cutout thing on top was a last minute addition for my buckets but the idea wasn't sound--the buckets would get airborne on the freeway, even bungeed down. Now that I have a black MINI, a repaint is in order. LOL

Ok, here's a pic of the back of El Kabong to show the trailer hitch installed. Also a great shot of my new plastic hampers I bought to keep in the boot to hold stuff. The hampers are made of woven PVC so are very sturdy and waterproof. I'm going to just leave the chequered one in El Kabong and the other one is going to my office.

Hey Annette, the trailer looks really awesome, didn't know one could do so much with the basic Harbor Freight Trailer, good job
I've almost decided to buy one to haul my motorcycle to the track, but still not sure of the reverse light situation. How does it pop out and pop back in? Are there quick release connectors or something? I'm not understanding the whole picture.

If you have someone else install the hitch for you, just hang around and take a good look at the set up so you'll know what you're reaching for when you unplug the light, and when you are putting in the towbar.

This is a "Menards" trailer, which is the same size as the Harbor Frieght, but it comes with 8 inch wheels that I later changed to 12's. I also made the draw bar a bit longer, so I could get 8 foot sheets of plywood or drywall on the trailer with out hitting the car.

As for Motorcycles, The sides and back come off and the front folds down. Here is a picture of the Motorcycle rail in use.

If you want to do a Tear drop that is a different story.

I put the hitch on the car in the summer of 2004, it is a custom hitch as niether of the commercial hitches was available then.
