I just finished some updates I did to my new (to me) Black Tie Trailer I bought and picked up last week.
Funny how these things travel around and never get used. I tracked mine down to it's first home in Minnesota from Michigan. Then from Minnesota to Florida then from Florida to New York then from New York to Missouri. Finally, from Missouri to Texas. I think the first real tow it took was from Missouri to Texas behind my F150.. Was shipped to all the other destinations.
Anyway, these are the completed Mods I did: Added a Silver bottom and Black top Speed Lingerie Bra. Replaced Foose Wheels with stock Chrome 15" Prowler Trailer Wheels, in Perfect condition. Added the Larry Lord Latch Reinforcement and the Larry Lord Upright Trailer Stand. To fit in my #2 Garage with standard 8' ceiling I had to pull the tongue and cut off 3 3/4 inches then redrill the mounting holes so it would clear a standard ceiling. Finally I added a handle up at the ball mount to make it easier to mount and dismount the Trailer so I can move it around. Here are some pics:

Nice wheels, tires too did you have to modify the wheels to fit the prowler?

No, they are a direct bolt-on. This particular style (Lusso) is discontinued and I've been looking for a set for a long time.
Not real partial to the new line-up of Foose Wheels that fit the Prowler.

The reason i ask is Magnumark has Foose wheels and he had to do something to the wheels i think.

He has the exact same combo.
The only issue is, you cant run the Low Tire Pressure Senors in the Foose Wheels 'cause they dont fit.
I'll have to pull the upper dash to disconnect the TPS Computer and remove the low-tire warning bulb. But, that's no big deal.

Or just do the black electrical tape mod.
