Triton Ski Deflectors on tilt trailer?

[xcsp]

For those who have a Triton tilt-bed trailer with the Ski Deflector kit (comes standard on new Elite models), do they work?

Looking for options to avoid the carbides coming in contact with the aluminum trailer edge protector.

I have an Elite Drive on/off.

Yes. They do work.

i took off my standard deflector and put on a after market plastic one they seem to be a little more slippery and they didnt get cut up like the aluminum one did just my 2cents

Any more info on the one you put on in place of the original one? Who made it?

 

[saber1]

yea i bought mine direct from the manufacturer Injectionplasticsmfg.com or Dennis kirk has them but not sure if its made by the same company the ones i got are made in the USA.

I have an enclosed Triton, and had seen the Caliber edge glides w/ hinges but not so sure those would work for my application.

Those w/o hinges wouldn't work with the enclosure.

i thought the same thing i have the ones without hinges and put them across the whole width of the trailer where they screw into the deck they are only about 1/4 inch thick and the cover i have has a rubber seal so it worked for me should for you as well.

No problem with the taillights still being visible with the glides on?

 

[saber1]

yup still visible there made not to block the tail lights

heres a quick pic the trailer is tilted a little back so the tail lights are even more visible when trailering

Thanks saber1, looks like a good option.
