AZ BS Thread 4²0

I had a pair in my 03 Dodge diesel and never had a problem. Icy cold, boiling summers, very dependable. Of course that was a while ago.

 

I have had three in three different cars. The one in the truck is 3 years old and is still great

 

I had had enough on the drive home after looking at the last used trailer. Called and bought a new Zieman F511 with the wood slats. Ended up a little under 2k with plates and tax. Looks like this:

It’s a lot lower than I wanted, so there will be no off-roading the Tacoma with sxs behind it to whatever camp spot. But it’s light, has torsion suspension and if I remove the wood, it’s easy access to the guts of my sxs. Almost like a ghetto lift. The main benefit of this thing is I can drive up/down without ramps - or pawn that duty on my wife.

 

I searched for used for about 6 months when looking for mine. The few that I found that fit my needs were asking almost new pricing so I eventually just bought new. Better in my opinion anyways as I was able to order exactly what I wanted and add any little details I wanted to add. Congrats

Not sure if there’s any way to lift a torsion trailer but it might be worth searching. Leaf springs are easy to flip the axle and raise them up 6” or so

 

Nice, i havent seen a tralier like that before

 

If I ever damage a fender, I’ll cut them off and get ones large enough for 33’s. You can get 6x5.5 hubs for about $100 and then run the same tires and wheels as your Tacoma. That would lift it several inches...

There’s no other easy way to lift torsions. It’s welded to the frame

 

@wilcam47 @snowsk8air2

When do you dudes want to ride? I want to check out some old mines.

 

Ride like mtn bike?

 

That too! More exited to explore with the side by side. Prob would ride Sedona though.

 

Gotcha. Was gonna say I don’t do mtn bike lol. Well it says you’re in Phoenix. Both @wilcam47 and I are in flagstaff.

 

Im actually west of flag but its not a bad trip for me

 

You end up buying a house somewhere?

 

Yes kingman

 

Oh dang yeah that’s a little west of flagstaff haha. I was thinking Belmont or Williams

 

Lol yeah not bad

 

Lol so was I. Kingman is wayyyy too far for me.

 

Well congrats

 

Finally hade Tires2Go hook me up with some Falkens and get the new wheels put on. There is some rubbing even after taking off front mud flaps but should be easy to take care of.

 

The owner of that place is super nice.
