It’s finally time to upgrade the trailer

Not purchasing a new trailer, just upgrading the existing trailer.

a little over 5 years ago I purchased a 14’x6′ tandem axle utility trailer. over the years I’ve made some upgrades. New cross members, remove-able sides, heavy duty tie-down points, new hubs/brakes, new tires, ramps, LED lights, wheels & Tires, etc. I’ve done all this while avoiding the purely designed and undersized tongue.

My license plate broke and fell off and when I went in to replace it I was informed that the trailer was still licensed as a Travel trailer and that I could be fined big time if I were pulled over. So, now it’s time to upgrade the tongue and out fit the trailer to legally match the axle’s 7000 lbs GVWR. I’ve already removed the original tongue which was A frame style made of 3"x2" Channel iron that was "boxed in". It was inline with the main rails of the trailer (went through the front rail and first cross member). I’ll be using the metal form the tongue to replace the front rail and first cross member and upgrading to a 5" x 2" x .188" (3/16") rec tubing wrapped (follows main rails back to just forward of the spring perches) A frame tongue with a 2 5/16" coupler. New tongue jack, screw jacks on all four corners, and brackets for the Weight distribution hitch so that my tow vehicle can legally tow the 7000 lbs GVWR. Along with paint over the entire trailer so that it not a mottled mess of new and old paint from older modifications. With the modifications done I’ll be comfortable getting the trailer inspected, and hauling the full 5000 lbs + payload which will included my father in-law’s skid steer.

I’m notorious for not taking pictures mid project, but I’ll try to post pictures when all is said and done.

Rhino brand axle issue, other options?

Had an unfortunate incident this weekend and long story short ruined the threads on the axle stub the wheel nut threads onto.
Called super atv today to order a new stub axle and come to find out that isn’t an option and I would have to order a complete axle. Having an aftermarket axle that isn’t rebuildable is worthless in my opinion so I’m not going that route anymore. So what are my options now in a different axle? I’m running 28" mega mayhems and need a stronger than stock axle but don’t need something like a gorilla or turner.

Thanks for any help, Cody

30 inch zillas

I put 30” zillas on my 2015 700 grizzly and it has the expected loss of power on the bottom end.I have ordered up the shims and the white spring for the secondary clutch but i dont know what weights i need to switch to.Im not into big mud ridding.the big tires are more for clearance than anything else.I dont drive over 60 kms per hour so speed doesent mean much to me.I just want them to pickup better on takeoff.Anybody else doing something similar out there.
