OK so I got a tamiya flat bed trailer for my king hauler to haul equipment with but it needed a few things to do that. First It needed some rub rails on it so I could use the chains I had to tie equipment down with so the trailer had five drilled holes in each side so I just used those sense it was already there and got all of my parts at True Value then just painted it John Deere blitz black and I like how it came out and it looks really good so tell me what you guys think of it:D

Great simple idea and looks good! Definitely makes for a great chain, load binder anchor for sure...... I'd paint the screws black also I think.

I'd like something like that for my flatbed but have to figure out how to allow for the side markers already installed.

What did you use for the rub rails and rub rail spacers in between the rail and the trailer?

Thanks Mario im still planning on making it into a drop deck just trying to figure out when i will have time and i have been waiting for my body off my semi for 8 months just to be painted so I haven't been working on my rc stuff lol and I have black bolts on the way for the sides. and the rails are brass u can get it at every true value that I know of.
