Found this video as well. Loading it up tomorrow and headed to Pocono - hopefully no drama...

It was actually fairly painless once I took my measurements and got my boards all lined up. My 2016 4runner with recently replaced rotors/pads and water pump did a fine job dragging it up to Pocono from Central Jersey. I also have airbags in the back and filled it with premium gas. Looking forward to taking it up to lime rock. 👍

The only thing IMO you could do simpler is put the back axle of your 4Runner on rhino ramps and then load your car without the lumber on the trailer ramps. It literally loads like a roll back tow truck at that point. Most car guys have a pair of ramps laying around and not always lumber laying around.

Way back when in my drag racing days almost everyone loaded their flat deck open car trailers this way.

For really low cars sometimes lumber is needed but I always try to avoid it at all costs. Lumber just adds a point of goof up and potential damage.

Awesome to see you are having fun with it.
