Sawblade said:If I use recessed “D” rings and a wheel chock will the wood be strong enough to hold the “D” rings in place? I really would like to use the bike shoe or even turnbuckles with a stand to secure the bike as tie downs get in the way. If I remember correctly mx547 uses the turnbuckle method.
mtk said:I put D-rings in the floor of my enclosed trailer with nothing but washers backing them up. Never had a problem hauling my FZR400 roadracer all over the place either. For securing toolboxes and such, check out "E-track" that they use in large commercial trailers.)/QUOTE]
The "E-track" is a great idea. It would also be easy to roll the chest in and out and strap it in quickly. I went to Tractor Supply after work tonight to check out what few items they have. I think the D-rings are the way to go. Plus if I go with the recessed ones it gives me an excuse to buy a router. ;)
Thanks guys for all your ideas. I decided to go with a Interstate 5' x 10' trailer. I'm going to pick up the trailer tomorrow afternoon! :yeehaw: :yeehaw:
mx547 said:yes, i do. i put pieces of 1" angle under each "d" ring for added strength.
