Does the standard tongue on the Arctic Bear give you enough room to your tow vehicle? How's it been working out for you. I've been considering getting an Arctic Bear for general utility work and doing just about what you've done right there (my tow vehicle would be a Jeep Wrangler and I need to tote 4 yaks).

Thanks

:I built this rig based on a Snowbear utility trailer. I wanted the use of the
: trailer for transport of other stuff, plywood, etc, so I made the racks
: removeable with three bolts. The frame is Unistrut, a very versitile
: material used in the mechanical trades. ( I'm an electrician) The cost was
: under $100, I already had the trailer. I can haul two wood kayaks in
: custom cradles made of foam-lined wood, and four tupper-yaks up/top. Three
: bikes ride on a rack bolted to the bed sides, along with camping gear. (
: The other project, in the background, is almost done)
