I think that will get the point across. Nice looking project.I replaced them with heavy plastic parts by Fulton. They're quite strong, but I still don't want anyone sitting on them. The "NO STEP" stickers were ineffective (can't fix stupid), so I'll try these bird deterrents that I already have on the baby trailer...
I like that interior - all of the options, either rubber floor or the E-track or the carpet. NICE!I'm on the verge of installing electrical and ventilation systems to make the trailer suitable as a sleeper. After that, I'll have it wrapped to match my car.
Any of the proportional controllers would work fine. I use the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller on the Touareg and Tiguan. It works very well, but the main feature I like is the installation. The main controller can be tucked away behind the dash with only a knob to mount in the dash. Redarc sells various faceplates for the knob. On the Tiguan, I removed the dash light controller (I keep it a maximum anyway). I then sourced a spare dash lite controller, gutted it and epoxied a Redarc faceplate to it. Then I just snapped it in place of the dash light and it looks like it should be there.
I've had to make some big changes. I took the walls down to do the electrical work, but found a few leaks. I also found some shoddy workmanship on the floor. So I pulled it up. From there, I decided to work on the roof to address the leaks. The roof is stripped clean and awaiting good weather for a seal-job that'll be top notch. I hope to do the things to rehab this trailer that the manufacturers probably should do during production.
Subbed for this. Haha. Awesome.
do they make lockers for them, or do they even have rear differentials?
I agree for the most part. This one is actually on a pretty small frame. It's a 2008 450cc and at the time it was the same size as the 350 2wd. Also the smallest 4x4 they made with IRS and lockers. I think now the smallest grizzly you can get is like 660 and it's on a HUGE frame.
Read the owners manual closely. There's supposed to be some special tasks to perform for flat towing a car with the dsg.
I would try the Pilot Super Sport replacement; Pilot Sport 4s or the conti extreme contact DW. iirc the Conti is known to have a slightly softer sidewall. Although, it seems to be the nature of a summer tire to have stiff sidewalls for better handling.
First task accomplished: Wife's car is a 6 speed Manual gearbox, not the DSG. (three out of my wife's last 4 vehicles have been manual gearboxes. She's a pro with them!!) I specifically avoided buying a CPO DSG TDI, when we were selecting her (new to us) JSW, because I know all about the 40k mile $400+ services required. I had a 2006 TDI sedan as company car with a DSG, it's not that I don't like the DSG. I marveled how smoothly it shifted for all 120k I racked up on it. I just know that for towing trailers and being towed four down, I want the manual gearbox.
16s.
