Their skid mounts definitely are. Just two straps of 1/8" tack welded in place Moab ripped those right off

 

Ha!

I suppose I can’t really say anything with all of the gussets I’m rocking.

Looks like a much more solid option.

 

BEEF ALL THE THINGS.

 

I know. The video I posted was mine

 

Just spreading some info for everyone else. Also I didn’t watch the video honestly

 

Does anybody here have any experience with liberty Toyota in Burlington? I would like to know if they actually know what they’re doing with service/maintenance or if they’re just assholes

 

Ok. I’ve got the axles/hubs/wheels kinda figured out for my trailer.

What about brakes? Any suggestions on brakes?

 

Get electric brakes and a brake controller for your truck. I dunno if it's worth the money to buy anything nicer than tractor supply house brand, but a trailer with real brakes is definitely worth it.

 

Does that require me to have a different hub/axle assembly?

Parking brake is a nice feature to have. Wheel chocks would get old. I have this combo on mine, worked great.

 

It's all in the hub. Most trailer axles let you change the hub, but YMMV.

 

@Arcticelf Just throwing an uneducated thought out there - guessing @Subway4X4 will be dunking this regularly, will that be a concern to him with electric brakes?

 

I don't know. they are intended for automotive use, so getting wet isn't an issue, but it might be worth waterproofing the wiring and attachments.

 

Or get really fancy and use an electro-hydraulic set up and put the electro piece in a water tight enclosure.

 

Nice input guys! Keep ‘em coming.

 

All good. The more that are knowledgeable the better

 

I won’t be launching my double hulled plastic kayak from the trailer, but I’m pretty sure deep puddles on our way to where we want to go won’t stop the truck and the trailer. So brief water immersion is not out of the question.

 

Looking for ideas to extend the tongue on my trailer. Need to add 6 feet to the end of this. To clear the nose of my kayak and give me turning room clearance from my rear swingout

 

You could take off that tongue and weld on a new one with longer angle iron

 

How is the tongue attached to the rest of the frame? I would take it off / cut it off and start over like @Anchovy said.

I wouldn’t use angle. Maybe channel. But I’d use square tubing.
