The lite bars are priceless to my families safety... you would THINK they could see a 10 foot tall truck stopping in front of them
but these things are at a perfect height on the ex - right at eye level for the 4 wheelers behind us...I got one off amazon at least 4 years ago, maybe 6,
when the reverse lite function versions first came out and it's lasted perfectly even with banging it loading up sometimes !
note because of the curve of the area under the rear doors, the stick'em tape did not look strong enough to me, so I did screw it into the rear lip

Just make sure to have somethin' tall enough on the back so you can see what's goin' on with the rear of the trailer when you're backing up. The dutch doors on the X obscure small trailers like that really well.

Looks like a snowmachine trailer. I screwed a plastic pipe anchor (receptacle) on the back of mine that I put a piece of 1" sprinkler pipe with a tip painted red in when I need to back up. The plastic pipe can easily be stored under the trailer.

no sides - no lic plates though ? must be nice, as I pay $70 per yr for my util trailer to sit @ the back of the property and get used once a year
