If you decide to add brakes DO NOT use Tie-Downs...if you run across them they will be cheaper than Kodiaks and very tempting...My constant battle w/those brakes and Tie-Down corporate frustrated me to the point I removed them and have not replaced...the Kodiaks mentioned above are a much better choice...

Agreed on the brakes... although in all fairness I have to admit that on one of my trailers I have a Tie-down actuator and it's given me zero problems over several years of use. But I'm not a fan of their brakes.. they seem flimsy when compared to other brands.

Destroyer, TD seems to have their poop together on their actuator...I used the same one as well w/good result, although I did have to replace a master cylinder on one...

But the brakes are Mickey Mouse w/a two foot tail...I fought that battle for YEARS on all 4 wheels of the tandem I had with NO support from TD corporate...NOTHING...
