    Default Rack and pinion latches

    Made this storage box on the front of the trailer to hold the stuff that ends up getting strapped down. I decided to go with the same design as the tailgate latch I did a few years ago.

    Used the gear generator program

    the original tailgate latch

    Elegant
    At least this one will always be visible if you're set up with the ramp down as a conversation starter.
    Now instead of just always have tailgaters trying to figure it out, you'll have people slowing down s they pass you as well
    I can easily see one of your critters trying to adapt it into a giant nutcracker
    NICE!

    When a simple hasp and lock just won't do....lol That is very cool but i guess we would expect nothing less. It goes good with your "Gypsy Wagon" design...Very nice
