5200 10K
« on: May 12, 2014, 04:56:34 PM »
so this was noticed when i got to my usual fuel stop.  got 3 wheeled home.  mike picked up most of the pieces on the side of the road, so really all im out is 2 bearings, and brake baking plate if i want. 


this blowing tires and failing shit is getting old, im just too heavy to make this work. with a 5K truck and 2 K of race gear. 


fix and continue? bah.  put 1 or 2 10K axles under it


Insert harrison taking it for a low ball offer!

True they do!

I vote single 10k in rear position to increase younger weight and not care about trailer attitude - with titanium blocks to start brush fires to get your attention in case of hub failure :)

How much does it weigh empty? I do want, but trying to be smart with money!

Trade for a 7k open deck in great condition? :)

5500lbs would be a conservative weight of the trailer.  it got heavier with water tanks and shelving since the last time i had good numbers on it.  i seem to remember it was 5300 when i got it. 

i just have 2000lbs of extra shit in it all the time. 

should get bearings and brakes all around apparetly.

all i can think is i over tighetened the hub when service-  been fine and everything since new to me is original besides tires.  have 3 Gladiator E's 2 good year D's and 2-3 D spares i believe

sold a buggy and a tow rig this year already- i think thats a good start to  thinning the fleet.  kinda like the wedge but would like longer, black box works and is easy to tow with 500$ a year in tires / wheels / bearings lol.  Kitchen hauler has already paid its rent, and is a nice portable box.  the rest of its note is covered by one or two axles ill steel from it. 

i guess throwing a 10k oil bath axle under it wouldnt solving any issues.  a trailer like Matts could use two 10Ks

im in the best financial shape of my life right now, just being picky / smart i guess about next major purchase....

I would sell it how it is before you hack it up and try to stuff different axles under it. Buy a nice HD trailer that gives you room to grow into and be done with candy ass stuff
