Regarding the cargo carrier in your pix.
a little ot but do the sides of your cargo carrier come down in a position that you could load stuff flat on it too?
And WHERE did you buy it! Tks.
The cage separates from the carrier very easy with just a few screws enabling the carrier to be flat. The carrier and the cage are sold separate, and actually there this a 3rd part, a hinged cage lid. That part was out of stock when I purchased, so just settled on the carrier and cage. The top would have been nice, but really not necessary.
Click hereI added the 2x4 braces at each of the carrier to fit over my bumper. My trailer came with a factory installed hitch, but when I tried using it, the cage was so wobbly, I decided to pull out my old 4 inch square sewer bumper attachment hitch that everyone says "DON'T USE". With my bumper re-inforced by the factory, I could put the receiver on the top of the bumper, leaving "just" enough room to slip those 2x4's under the carrier and on top of the bumper, thus, completely eliminating the rocking back and forth. It works like a champ. I figure if there ever was too much stress at any point (side to side), the 2x4's would break first. But there's never been a hint of problem doing it this way. I painted the 2x4 with black Rustolium (oil based) paint to match the carrier. It works great. But I only use it for carrying hoses, my sewer hoses and water hoses, and occasionally a wet rug.
The good thing is, it wasn't "that" expensive! and works great!
