So your looking at a trailer rated to 21,000 pounds. Is this just an open interior with fuel tank and water tank only. The price of 5K seems ok for this trailer but here are my reservations. This is going to be a heavy trailer and do you need to carry that heavey of a load and do you need a 20 foot long trailer. I'm thinking you could buy a 16-18 foot pace type enclosed trailer with a double axel or a single 6000-7000 pound axel cheaper. Not as much trailer but if you don't need that much trailer, the extra will just be a burdon and take extra fuel. Look on Ebay and you should get a good idea of what they are going for especially if you look in the completed listings. Another place to look is in the truck trader or other title by same group. One of their magizines covers trailers for sale. They are avavilable at most convience stores. As far as water and gas goes, the farm suply stores sell tanks real cheap. Ebay has 42 gal new fresh water tanks for $100 including shipping. Just some thoughts. 5k is a good buy on that trailer.

I came across this by accident.I have the flat open trailer but always thought about an enclosed one.The ones i have seen all had low doors and because of the height of my trooper with the cargo rack on top it would not fit.Its an open interior with a removable/adjustable ramp that the trooper can be driven up on thus giving more room under it for storage or a couple quads should i ever get anymore toys.According to what i was told the trailer itself weighs in at 3,500lbs.

From experience as I just sold my triple axle trailer. Triple axle stops, pulls & tracks great even in the wind. On the bad side, the rear axle scrubs the tires every time you make a turn. Over time it tears the tire apart. Trailer tires do not hold up to this or heat & speed. I went thu 11 tires before I finally bit the bullet and upgraded the rims to 16" so I could run LT Pickup/Truck tires as I was very heavy also. Then the problem seemed to have gone away. Sold the trailer after that. Only downside I know of, just watch the tires. If you go on rv.net in the Toyhauler forum you will see all the post of others & ME.

      I got the fronts adjusted.  I'm trying to raise the ride height in the rear, but my spanner wrench keeps slipping.  Is there an easier better way?  It's like there's too much pressure working against me to be able to twist the height adjusters.  How can I relieve that tension to make them easier to turn?

      I bought a 2017 Stampede 900 last fall that was new, old stock with less than 5 hours on it thinking that I would be getting a relatively trouble free UTV as compared to buying a used Polaris or CanAm, or Honda, etc. It's been a little quirky, but reliable. What I thought was just a minor issue with this model, the difficulty in shifting between R, N, L, H, etc., was just a characteristic of this model is now a big problem. I had to climb two very steep trails to get to the upper meadow of our hunting property, which seemed to stress the UTV more than usual since I was carrying some lumber to work on a platform for a hunting blind, and when I went to shift into park, I felt something give and it would not shift out of low, but it did move up into high gear.  I couldn't get it to shift at all at that point and the shifter felt mushy for lack of a better word. I was able to get it down to the lodge and when I investigated, I discovered that the straight, metal tube portion of the shift cable had bent to almost 90 degrees (see pics). I'm positive that it had already had some deformation that had happened previously and it had the right amount of resistance to bend to the point where it was unusable. 
      I have two questions:
      1. I suspect that there must be some other issues that makes this UTV difficult to shift, and I'm wondering if this is a common problem and if someone could enlighten me on what could cause this to be difficult to shift?
      2. Have any of you had this happen and if so, how difficult is it to replace the shifter cable?
      Any other advice is welcome, this is the first UTV that I've ever owned, so I don't know much about working on these or maintaining them. I'm relatively capable when it comes to working on my own vehicles in general, and I'm not afraid to take things apart and get my hands dirty.
      Thanks in advance for any insight, I'll be traveling most the day so I won't get a chance to look at replies until this evening.

      Hi everyone and I hope that is not a too forward questions for us newbies. 
      My husband and I are ready (next Spring) to open our newly developed nudist campground in Iowa and we are now looking for interesting activities to host. 
      Don't worry we are not going to try and sell you a membership because as of 2 weeks ago all of our 50 campsites are sold out for the 2024 season. 
      It was my job to sell site and now that is complete i am looking for interesting actives host for weekend. 
      We have 300 acres of woods, grassland, swamps and 2 small ponds/lakes and dozens of miles of riding trails.
      we have gotten county approval for the complete 300 acres to be clothing optional. 
      We think we have a great spot for a weekend or several day ATV / mudder event. 
      Clothing would be optional for all participants and plenty of room for overnight camping and outdoor group showers. 
      Now we are looking to you pro  ATV riders to let us know if you think your group of people would fit in with ours. 
      Feel free to ask anything you would like to get a better idea of what we offer.

      Haven't posted in a while since solving the excessive cabin noise issue, so I thought I would share a few upgrades to my Sector... Realize that this is driven daily on the street, so some of the mods are to make it more streetworthy.

      Locking gas door.

      Rear view mirror.

      Modified windshield for better airflow in cabin.

      Lowered and modified headrest bar for improved rear view.  Tailgate protector.

      Folding armrests.

      Overhead utility rack.  Keeps the interior cooler and dryer, too!

      Folding rear seats.

      Dust cover and seat protector.
      If anyone wants links to the rear view mirror, seats, or arrests, let me know and I will post.  But know that everything requires some level of fabrication.  The utility rack was all custom built.  Cheers!

      I bought this SxS brand new.  A couple of years after I bought it, I became disabled.  Thus it has only 47 miles and around 16 hours of use.  I have no need to keep the SxS.  I am in Foley, Alabama.  It is very hard for me to get in out of the Challenger.  I would like to sell the set, 2019 Challenger 400, trailer and uninstalled winch (this was bought brand new as well, someone was supposed to help this newbie install and we never got around to doing this). I want  $6500 for the whole set OBO (Serious offers only).
