I recently picked up a Triton XT10 101 aluminum tilt trailer and have been searching high and low for a site where I can get a side rail kit for it. Triton's website shows them and the part numbers but state "see dealer for parts and accessory's" #08820 Rail Kit know someone out there sells them besides the stealership. Any help would be appreciated.

 

I coulndn't find any more info. than you did.

I have a 12'x101" snowmobile trailer and I just made a rim of 2x6 PT around the front and sides. Drilled through the small 2-3" high metal and used eye bolts with nyloc nuts on the outside. The eye bolts hold the railing on and act as good strong tie downs. My trailer isn't as nice as yours though. Saved a quad from rolling off when a strap broke.

 

Thanks for trying moose, I can get the rail kit for $190 from a triton dealer locally which is a little salty for what it is. I remember seeing the kits online considerably cheaper last year when I was considering ditching the steel trailer for the aluminum. I was able to work a guy down to $550 for the Triton since he was desperate for cash in hand and another $200 worth of rail kit into it is still a great deal for the trailer, I just hate paying full price for unreasonably marked up items. If I can't find a decent price, I may look into what it would cost me in extruded aluminum stock and build my own at work. Which might turn out better than oem with as picky as I can be with stuff like that.

 

I recently ordered a side rail kit for Triton as well from a Triton dealer. I have the GU8 and my side rail kit was 350.00. You are right thought, you can only get that stuff from the dealer.

 

That was my other thought, that if you are handy with a welder to get some metal stock and make your own. Post some pics when you get it done so we can see how it came out.

 

Might just do that moose. If I can't locate a set in a few weeks I'll just build them. Just need to find the aluminum and the time at work. I wish I had a TIG here at home, then time wouldn't be such an issue. Once winter sets in I will have lots of time at work but right now it's "GO BABY GO" before the snow fly's. I've got a stick and mig but can't justify with the wife a TIG for home use.

How did you ever make out with your project? I have the same trailer and was interested in what you came up with...I've had mine since '06 and always wanted to make taller sides...

I ended up making my own. I located 40' worth of 1"x 1"x3/16 wall square tube aluminum at a local welding shop for $105 which was super cheap compared to some places I looked. A little time on the side at work with a mig and I ended up with a set of rails that look very close to what Triton sells but I have a feeling mine are much much stronger. I can ratchet strap the sportsman down using the rails so tightly that the suspension squats quite a bit and the rails barely flex. I had the welding shop cut me 4- 10' sections. The side rails ended up being 10' in length and 10" tall from the top of the deck and the front rail is 101" wide and 10" tall. In total I had about $120 in materials and hardware not to mention I fabbed everything at work on the clock and the boss was ok with it! Sorry the pic's are in the dark.

 

That looks really good...I've always wanted to do something like that on mine just never got around to it...One question, with the extra weight added weight, does it stay tilted on it's own? I know on some angles mine doesn't wanna stay tilted on it's own unless I put a little weight on one of the back corners...I was wondering how those small gas shocks work in holding it tilted...
