2LOW4U, Building my low-rider wagon

 2 years ago, when we took our garden wagon to the Grand Design Rally, I had to make a rack that would fit over the tonneau cover, with this I was able to take the wagon without stuffing it into the trailer. There was no room in the back of the pickup under the tonneau cover. I didn't think I would need the rack again so I used the wood for some other projects. I have the same issue this year except it's 2 wagons. I used the same basic design; I even had the same metal brackets I used 2 years ago. I used some 2x2's and 2x3's and some cheap fence board to make the rack. I made a story board to make sure the wagon tires will fit. The only issue I see at this time is getting the wagons up on the rack, each is fairly heavy. I had to make wings on the back of the rack for the low-rider wagon, the rear track is about 4 inches wider than the front track. If this doesn't work, my other option will be to remove the tonneau cover and load everything on top of the wagons in th...

Been working on some side projects for the low-rider wagon and trailer. I have a speedy stitcher tool, it is used by sail makers to sew sails for all sizes of sailboats. I have found it works great to make thing from polypropylene webbing. I used it origionally to make some binding straps for the travel trailer. I have also made some keyrings. The first thing I made for this project was a pair of 3/4 inch ratcheting strap to hold the wagon while it is on the trailer. I also made some stronger straps to hold the wagon and trailer to a rack I am making for the back of the pickup. The rack is designed to fit over the bed of the truck with the tonneau cover installed. I made one 2 years ago when we took a wagon the to first stupid wagon contest. I didn't think I would need it again and used the wood for other projects.  One inch ratchet straps in complimentary colors.  3/4 inch ratchet straps that match the low-rider wagon. These will hold the wagon on the trailer.  The board...

 Found an issue with the low-rider wagon today that I didn't notice before. The low-rider frame came with a couple bolts that act as stops for the front axle that prevent the front tires from hitting the wagon body. The John Deere wagon body is longer that the Radio Flyer wagon, this caused the front tires to hit the wagon body even when adjusted to the fully forward position. I searched through my many boxes of stuff and found a couple bracket that worked perfect for stops. They came from an Ikea towel rack. I glued on some rubber to cushion the bracket and they work perfectly. Haven't decided if I'm going to paint them.
