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...

will definitely take a look at the rope soon and before any use. I don't think any significant...

There are plenty of other pictures online and in the forums of the...
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.
