Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

Put it forward of the axel unless you have something else forward to get you tongue weight.

 

thats what i figured since putting it behind the axle would cause issues unless i had something to balance the weight on the tongue which i dont

thanks for confirming what i was thinking

 

Are you taking the ranger or tacoma? Does the ranger have a shell? If not load it in the bed is your best bet. Don't ruin that trailer by making it carry something it isnt rated for. Or do a rtt on the bed and get a hitch carrier.

 

All I'm seeing is their tube/hybrid bumpers with a cross tube i. The bumper, keeping the front core support the same as factory.

 

the tacoma is getting sold so not that thing... the ranger does not have a shell but i do not want it in my bed its a pain to load it in there so i want it lower to the ground on top of that do remember this trailer is rated for a lot more then what my little bike weighs... and yes for trips that ill have more then one bike or dont need the trailer i will have some rack setup done with my hitch carrier but i will say it does suck... damn cheapo harbor freight thing...

 

I love that trailer! I wish I could find one or some at a decent price I remember seeing them all over before "overlanding" became so poplular. Maybe I just wasnt in the game since I didnt have a truck to do any of these things but my uncles used to scrap the things. I need to reach out to them since they used to scrap all over north missouri and see if they know where any are sitting in a field.

It's very much End-User fitting. 05+
3rd gens may need to relocate the cooler lines.

 

There’s usually a few on Craigslist for cheap

 

In my experience, weight in front of the axles is safer/ better if you have to load the trailer unevenly. I've been in a truck that jackknifed because the weight was too far back, it's scary AF. YMMV obviously, but the truck is designed to have loads pushing the back down, not so much if your trailer is levering your bed upwards.

Here's a good demo:

Some of us work for a living

 

Yup that’s what I was figuring but always good to ask others to make sure your thinking is correct

 

They are pretty sick the m100 flavor is harder to find these days but m416s are pretty easy to get some times cheap but not always

M100s not to much anymore there is very few of them so the prices have gone up high on them

Not an awful m416 for the price

 

I've seen this and the Stl thread. Sure as hell ain't you

 

Lunchtime foo
