So that toy hauler was way heavier than quoted. 850lb empty. Found this newer single axle 5200lb ish rating. Forest River wolf pup 17RP. Tongue weight was 525 as it sat with a few things in it and a generator rack over the propane tank. I towed it home with a husky centerline wd hitch. It was...

Yes that’s very close to the one I’m looking at and yes that tongue weight is suspiciously low compared to similar models/size. I would only be hauling camping gear and maybe bicycles/kayak. No motorized “toys” Time will tell. I’ve heard good things about the sherline scale so I will try that...

I don't see many toy hauler's on here. Is it reasonable to tow a small toy hauler (without a toy) with the Ranger? My main concern is tongue weight as they tend to be a bit higher than a regular TT. Looking at about 22 feet total length plus or minus a bit. dry weight close to 4k. Tongue weight...

Hankooks lasted about 6k before getting a flat on trail. Sized up and went with Cooper ST Maxx

As far as I know it does not need special calibration, just releveling as you would do after a lift/level.

Oh I see. Makes more sense now. For $12 I will order one, especially since I will need to undo the whole thing.

I'm not sure. Only one way to find out.

What difference does that mount do vs the side mound screw? When tensioning the rope i hooked it to another vehicle and barely applied e brake. should have been between the 500lb to 1k rec's. will definitely take a look at the rope soon and before any use. I don't think any significant...

Definite bummer... and only a little damage, I shave a little bit off the rope doing the initial wind up. too bad I didn't realize until it was all the way in.

Copy. Confirmed with Smittybilt only underwound. looks like its all coming back out and be flipped.

Inverted mount? The winch to be mounted with the clutch on the opposite side? Passenger in my case?

I mounted mine with the clutch on the drivers side. Which is what the winch manufacturer and 589 say.

I sent them an email already. Just curious to see if others may have had this same issue.

The mount works great and the winch fit perfect with the stock bumper intact. had to make a custom bracket for the winch controller instead of making new leads. Still working on a bracket for the adaptive cruise control. There are plenty of other pictures online and in the forums of the...

I can't get a pic of my truck but this pic shows how high the fair lead mounts.

I recently installed the 589 Design hidden winch mount and noticed significant rubbing of the rope on the fair lead and even the mounting plate due to the sharp angle of the rope when winding. I followed the instruction to underwind the rope per winch manufacturer instructions. With the fair...

I have had good luck with the 20L jerry cans from harbor freight. I made some jerry can holders that bolt into the predrilled holes. I use bungee straps to keep in place.

Check out these bolt tires frame sliders I built for my ranger. I am completely new to welding and fabrication but was able to put together what seems to be a solid build. Material 2” square tubing 3/16 and 1/4 plate steel for brackets and gussets.
