drive over fender material

The downside of the hinged fenders. ... If you are just hauling the same crawler and have the strap down arrangement and tire locations figured, then no issues. If you haul odd/new/different stuff all the time, you may end up needing a tire to travel on top of the fender. No way to do that with the hinged arrangement. I will opt of adding steel over the fender for load flexibility and options.

Still think the hinged thing is pretty cool. :flipoff2:
 
That's what I think, it's cool until you load something where you can flip the fenders back up.
 
That’s the downside of any trailer with fenders. At some point you need to chain something there or load a pallet over the side. Every trailer is a trade off.
 
God forbid you have to crib something once in awhile or load it somewhere else then chain and pull the one or two times a year you've got a load like that.

I think so. I didn’t see any latch. Maybe it would bounce and rattle.
It would be easy enough to make a latch or pin and it a nice simple solution.

The "inner fender panel" would be the most weight of the assembly and tend to keep it closed, but I'd feel more comfortable with a latch of some sort. I'd say that the no latch implies that he hasn't found it to be an issue or he would have added it, but it looks like a fairly new trailer so he hasn't found it to be an issue yet... As said, easy enough to add.

I expect you meant "where you cannot flip the fenders back up."

Be like me and spend a week rehabing a piece of shit and then one saturday a month for the next six months dealing with loose ends (fenders, lights and shit). :flipoff2:

I do shit like that too.
I just don’t brag about it :laughing:

Not all of us exclusively use a trailer to tote a 4x4 around for a weekend twice a year. Try moving a Farmall/international 560 tractor. Fronts will fit between but the rears wont. Rears behind the humps leaves the hitch at negative and the tractor is too long to fit between the neck and the fenders. Sure, let me just run out and drop another 10 grand on a longer trailer so I can park it between the neck and the fenders but then have too much hitch load.

Such a narrow focus. I dOnT nEed SoMeThInG So CeRtAiNlY nO oNe ElSe ShOuLd.

Get some cribbing and figure it out. Where there's a will there's a way. If it were me I'd crib between the fender and tire so you can back over it without crushing it bad enough to matter. :flipoff2:
