I found my answer here: How to Determine Axle Position when Building a Trailer | etrailer.com - looks like I don't have enough information to determine that yet. I have to first weigh the loaded trailer to determine that.

Here is an appox. drawing

I have a cheap Harbor Freight trailer that I've been hauling my snowmobile on - originally it was 8'x4'. The snowmobile (Ski-doo Tundra V-800) weighs around 550lbs. The original trailer rating is 990lbs. Long story short, the front A-frame had bent while loading the machine on it one day, so I...

No, I have not touched it.... I have the coolant and new thermostat ready - I plan on replacing and doing a flush weather permitting.

I've been trying to track down a new noise under the hood for over a week now. I thought it was the Waterpump at first, but today after spending more time listening to the engine and touching various parts while it's running I discovered that the noise emanates from the thermostat housing - it...

I've tried the simple stuff: I've poked small steel wires down into the sprayer orifices trying to clean them out... it's still not working. Before I break down and tear it all out from under the hood, is there anything else simple that I could try?! Can I get parts for these (hoses, spray...

I'm looking for a complete driver's side outside door handle (I broke mine). Prefer darker color (not white). How much ground shipped to 80023. PM me please.

Will look for Bosh Icon. Would like to try a couple of inches longer blades than the stock ones.... will try and see.

Need some suggestions for good winter windshield wiper blade replacements. Is it me, or are the ww on these trucks wimpy and unlike the rest of the machine?

Yes - I found the thrust washer on the passenger side, but the driver's side one was missing... :bang: The one that's on the passenger side has a deep grove worn in it. Will need to buy 2 new ones I guess.

Another issue: the FAQ instructions state: Install Outer bearing, Install Thrust Washer..... I believe that's part 43510D in the diagram below. I never found a part like that during the disassembly and it wasn't part of Beno's kit (mostly because I didn't order it). I only have the Adjusting...

I'm replacing the front rotors on my 80. I've got everything disassembled and cleaned and I'm attempting to put things back together (driver's side). I'm following this FAQ here. I've repacked my inner bearing and outer bearing races with Red sticky grease and I'm about to reinstall them...

FZJ-80, it's stock

My truck has been doing this on and off. Mostly when fully warmed up and not at cold start as most of the threads describe (from a quick search). Today it happened again, I hop in and drive 20 miles to pickup my daughter. Truck fully warmed up, when I restart before I even put it into "D" I...

I'm one I guess I'm one - I'm not much of a hard-core wheeler, that's for sure.... ;) If you're in CO on your travels, give a whistle. Safe travels.
