Really it's a bunch of stupid little stuff, BUT... I was lied to by the seller on a few things (batteries Or battery I should say being one).
It's basically just an old, overall unmaintained trailer.
Only had one battery
sway controller was rusted to hell
vents on roof blew off on the way to amargosa
Plug to the truck was junk
outside speaker was blown
fuel pump station doesn't work
there are a few other little things also. I haven't checked the heater yet, but I will do that when I check the fuel station for power and the gears issue. Vents are on order, speaker is on order, I changed the plug already, bought a new battery already.
overall the trailer will do it's job, but I really wasn't expecting 7k dry either. I knew the stickers lied but geez, that should be illegal. My truck pulled it to Amargosa and back at 65mph most of the way though.
I was told it was all ready to go, and the batteries were good. bla,bla,bla... should have bought the first one from the owner who used it, and wasn't just flipping it for money.
yes, your first choice sold the next day and was a no bs toyhauler

sold, yes sold

Yeah the gears tend to wear out or swell up and bind. I just replaced mine 2 seasons ago.
one could also just loosen the bolts after each trip and drain the little bit of gas out so it will be dry. could also
lube . i may find a way to put a little spigot on the aluminum plate and drain with that. sounds like too much
work but nothing like having no fuel when arrive at dunes etc. i shouldnt complain since the th is a 2007 and
this if first time. loosing the bolts made it work again but i also took out and sanded down the sides. it really
works better than before i think, pump seems faster.
-
Why do you want to replace them? If they are binding, have your tried filing them down?
yep, sanded down and work great for now. just wanted a spare set in case they break. best i could find was $23 for gears and $13 to ship 1 ounce, i will wait
-
not quite, metal key may not work. $44--ouch!. most i have found are $15. i will call gpi tomorrow and see
if they still have the replacement gears for the m-55. thanks
-
i have a gpi m-55 in toyhauler. where can i get the plastic gears for this model? thanks
-
As for as what Joe? The helmet law refers to anything under 1000cc's and over 30 MPH capable from the factory, or were you looking for other info? When they look at the specs, your big bore kit is not how it came from the factory, so by law yours still falls under the 1000CC law.
A vehicle designed by the manufacturer
That seems to be the common verbiage before every definition
and it goes over 30 mph anyway

(We seen gains of 6-8mpg on off road trucks. Give me a shout and i can go into more detail and prices, it doesnt cost that much to gain tons of mileage, reliability and power.)-----------
but you are saying this is for an off-road truck only and NOT a street legal epa compliant truck,
correct?
to keep epa legal in clark county, about what mileage gains
and cost in general?
-
ok, without getting to technical and crazy, what can be done with 2008 dodge 6.7 to improve
the gas mileage and be smog legal and not break the bank. ball park figure on cost. was told was a
waste of time unless bypass emissions and then big $$. thanks

Carter Power sports took in a trade for a 2 Seat ecotec long travel car in on trade,
did they give a fair price etc?
-
just checking to see if dealers will take a sandrail in trade for a sxs? what is your experience? thanks
-
Water tank in th is leaking again at the fitting that is welded on. the seam has pulled away just enough to leak water. anyway, anyone in vegas that can fix these or reweld the fitting? or is there any type of jb weld type stuff that might fit into the gap and not leak? thanks
-
whoa.....I havnt had to get into this, but I thought they were doing titles again? You mean you got a vin assigned but they still dont do a title? I just got my boy a new blaster (with title) but havnt been anywhere with it yet. It was his Christmas present.
I thought I d be able to get a new title in my name on it?
you can get a title with the correct paperwork. get the vin first, get bill of sale or old title and apply for nevada title. its up to dmv whether they give you a nev title.
-
"Nevada is a non title state". Not a true statement. July 1, 2013 all that changes and titles will be mandatory. You can also get a Nevada title now if you have the correct paperwork. I got my registrations and now I will work on Nevada titles.

Sorry but you are entering a federal property and a fee demo area. if they want to walk a dog by and it alerts on your rig, The dog alerting is probable cause to believe that a crime is being committed. Do I think it was a good idea, nope I think it was profiling but then I do believe in profiling so it puts me in a quandry. Was it neccassary? Well if it saved one life by keeping "Stoned" people off of the dunes well then yes I will go for it but I still don't like it nor would I have been happy to have had to go through any hassle if the dog alerted on me. I do not carry nor partiucpate in narcotic use but dogs do make mistakes. But having to explain why I have weapons in my RV and them searching my personal possessions would have sent me to the moon. I think it was a chicken sh*t thing to do but who am i to stand in the way of the county trying to find cash lying on the ground.
all property is owned by someone. federal property still does not allow leos to search my property without due cause. due cause is allowed if the dogs are alerted. you can still refuse but you will be arrested and put in jail. you know, guilty till you prove your innocence. they have you by the wallies in that case. but if the dog is not alerted, then no touchy my stuff.
this is just another type of harassment. can you imagine stopping everyone on the freeway to do the same thing. wont happen. so, then why the dunes?
the problem is that people cant act normal and be responsible for their actions, so big daddy government comes to the rescue. if the government would put some bite into the laws, this wouldnt happen--like $10000 fine and 5 years in jail.
im just venting since so many of our rights are being taken away by the extreme leftist morons.
i do like the idea that people are caught so they cant harm duners while the bad dudes are high on something.
ok, ive said enough. this could go on forever.
-
i still have not heard the reason they were doing a random search for drugs or whatever. i guarantee that the search was completely illegal. i really cant believe they were searching vehicles and trailers when they know it is illegal.
someone know what the real story is? if i am minding my own business, then cant search me or my vehicles, trailers etc. there is no probable cause to do so. you want to search my stuff, get a search warrant.
so, whats the skinny here.

a 16 yr old w a drivers license needs this certificate? thats crazy
-
does anyone know the ages for the required certificate? all the way to 16 years old or? thanks
-
short overnight trips are the best for me there. it is a nice change of pace with some fun play dunes
and dont forget amargosa is usually 5-10 degrees cooler than dumont. we like to go there early and late season when dumont too hot.

the cal sticker is only good in utah if you are a california resident. a nevada resident that uses a california sticker in utah is not valid and they will and can make you buy a utah sticker anyway. been there, done that. thats why i, for one, am really happy about nevada finally doing stickers.
