Reason I ask,Spib is,my car does not have a locking steering wheel.I guess you are still using your factory column with the lock in it.I was wondering if I could rig up some sort of bracket of off the backing plates for the front drums where I could stick a pipe in it and direct the car in while I work the winch from the front.But I don't know if it will even be a problem in the first place.You know how it is when you're new at something.Try to figure out all the variables
I dont lock the wheel, when you go from door to floor of trailer you have to go slow and careful, so tire dont turn,but after that it goes straight in and when I unload, its the same, un do straps, let winch go in reverse and straight out
Why dont y'all just drive them in???? Most trailers are 83 inches between the wheelwells, drive it in as far right as you can, open the door and get out. Why make something that is so simple so difficult?

My car sits so low the door won't clear the trailer fender. Even pulled as far right as possible it won't open enough for even a small guy to squeeze in or out of the car. I guess driving it in would be ok for a car with windows that open so you could crawl in like one of the Duke boys :roll: or if it's jacked up like some 4x4 so the doors clear the fenders and you don't mind beating up your paint.
OK makes sense now. I have a buddy at the track with the same prob as you. He takes his drivers door off and hangs it on a rack he built on the wall of the trailer before he drives it in.
