Nicely done. For those interested I am going to building a trailer next week probably so I will take pictures and put up some info. It will look pretty much like the one Jay used but I will also be adding in a rail kit for the bike.

There's alot of weight on the trailer, and some in the back of the wagon. The car didn't normally ride that low.

TSC (Tractor Supply Co.) has a 4'X6' Carry-On trailer with a tilt bed for around $350.

Just an idea. Gander Mtn and Rural King both have them too, maybe Lowe's too, not sure on them though.

Yeah that might be pushin it. But how much does a bike specific trailor cost if I was to own one? I plan on takin a one-way trip when I move to FL. If it costs too much, I might end up gettin a big U-Haul truck, strappin the dike inside with all my stuff, and pullin my car behind it.

I have a tow turck and toe nikes
I dont like the set up on the handle bars. You can scratch the dampeners. Customers dont like ANY scratches to anything :)
I got 3 ( 6 straps) pair of ratchet type straps at Home Depot

This is what you need, a bike to tow your cage:

No man he's got the back of that station wagon packed tight. If you are moving get a trailer like he said and a tow hitch. Dont over load you car or the ball is likely to hit the groound and pop off and nitey nite for your bike. ship what you can and leave the cheap heavy stuff behind. Gotta love Wal-Mart.
