Went out and upgraded trailers this weekend. Sold the ol' harbor frieght 4x8 and got a 6x8 heavy duty. Got a pretty good deal on it. Anyways, I was looking to make it hard to steal. I know if a thief wants it, they are gonna take it. I just want to make mine a harder target, so they go one by. I drilled and tapped a 1/2 hole in the frame. I added a 1/2 eye bolt to the frame. (I wanted to weld a grade 80 chain link to it, but I can't weld) I used 2 U-shaped locks to go through the eye bolt and the tire. So know you can't roll the trailer. You are gonna have to carry it (it weighs 400lbs) and used a coupler lock also. I used U-shaped locks on both tires. Here are the pics. Click on them for larger views. I know they also sell the boots that police use for parking ticket violators. Look up denver boot, or wheel boot and you can find them. Some people have modified these for use on atv's. I think you could make one fairly easy for an atv.

The pics are here

Shoot by I can weld that for ya. Trouble with doing stuff like that is the thief will make you wish they had taken it. If they can't have it they will damage it so no one will want it. You are better off paying your insurance and not worry about it.

Stupid question time yet again...

Why not put your D lock over the torsion bar arm, verses going through that little eyebolt???

My security is similar to Rockbanger's except I have two Akitas. I guarantee if you invade their space you will get a good licking.
