Default Trailer accessory help....fairings, toolbox, etc.

After help from fellow forum members, I purchased an econotrailer full deck 18' open trailer for my Z06. I would like to have some kind of fairing or stone guard for the front and a toolbox. Been Googling my *** off but haven't found a fairing yet. I may have to just build it myself. Any good links would be sincerely appreciated (toolboxes, etc.). Thanks in advance

Call Tony Watson and ask him where he got his. Him and Bill found one somewhere but I don't remember where.

Try searching for "snowmobile trailer salt shield". There are 4 or 5 manufacturers and styles. You'll have to do some cutting and fitting to make it fit a car trailer (they're generally pretty wide), but these are light, pretty tough and work very well.

For tool boxes look at Tractor Supply or other similar stores. They make and stock several styled for use in the back of pickups. The one I have is about 2X2X4 and made out of rigidized diamond plate aluminum. Light and strong with a lockable top, and it costs around $200-250 depending on size. It will hold tool box, jack, rotors, lubricants, everything for emergencies.

I drew up and had a trailer place fabricate one for me - tire rack and integrated slant-nose rock shield.
