So, I blinged out this fall with a new 24' aluminum 10,000# car hauler...should be perfect for the FZJ80 and the Teryx4 (barely) and plenty of room for the FZJ80 and the RZR.
Unfortunately, a combination of communication problems and design issues meant changes were due...simply put, the trailer balance is WAY off (I can lift the tongue when empty with one hand), the tires contact the fenders with only a 6000# load, and the the axles aren't even close to centered in the openings.
Following a trip from WI to Vegas and back, it was time to dig in and start modifying...today's project was primarily sawzall work with a LONG blade...cutting off the fenders. Also pulled the existing steel coupler to install a more HD and longer version.
The plan? Relocate the forward axle behind the current rear axle...should allow the wagon/rear load to be nearly centered over the axles and the forward weight to provide enough tongue weight for easy towing. Last thing tomorrow is cutting off the spare tire carrier and prepping the wiring to transport the trailer to a friends to have the new axle mounts tig'd on (I'll spool-gun the fenders)
ah, the joy...
