[QUOTE="Goose17, post: 15993559, member: 137255"] I finished a many, many day mod to my trailer. I bought a 20’ V-nose trailer with a driver’s side escape door, which allows you to open the door to exit the vehicle once inside the trailer and not have to crawl out the window. The problem is my Mustangs are all too low and the driver’s door hits the fender. The solution was to build raised “ramp overs” to get the vehicles higher in the trailer. The lowest Mustang door I have is my stock ride height 2011 GT500. The door is roughly 10” up to the bottom at its lowest point. I also had to map out the wheel bases and width of my tires on all of the cars to formulate a plan that would work for all of them. I was also concerned with the 13/14 splitter on the Shelby as well as the side exhaust on the 2000 Cobra R. More on both of those in a bit. Measuring all of the cars: [ATTACH=full]1512236[/ATTACH] Got me some wood and broke out the tools! [ATTACH=full]1512237[/ATTACH] Figured out a 4x6 under a plank (2x12) was a good working height: [ATTACH=full]1512238[/ATTACH] Screwed the 4x6s to the floor and then the 2x12s to the 4x6s: [ATTACH=full]1512239[/ATTACH] Cut the 4x6s to support not only the 2x12s, but also an added 2x4 for a wider track: [ATTACH=full]1512240[/ATTACH] Although the ramps are firmly secured to the floor, they won’t be utilized to secure the vehicle. The D-rings will be used for that. More on that later: [ATTACH=full]1512241[/ATTACH] This is where I had to do some “ciphering.” The D-rings that are bolted to the trailer metal structure are RIGHT where I needed to place the ramps! [ATTACH=full]1512242[/ATTACH] I weighed options like cutting a hole in the ramp and simply passing the straps through them, but in the end, went a different direction. I decided to make a removable section that would come out after the vehicle was loaded to gain access to the D-ring: [ATTACH=full]1512243[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
