best thing I did to my trailer. Led cube Reverse light behind the wheels are almost just as good
It seems obvious but if you do not have a tool box on your trailer for tie down storage, get one. It will change your life.
I wish I had wired for back up lights when I re-wired my trailer last year, that was dumb. Also, 3500# axles have no place in he off road world. Go bigger even if your rig is lightweight.
I don't have enough space to add one on the tongue between the front rack and the jack but I'm planning to cut the rack and build a basket for a box so it sits partially on deck and partially floating over the tongue. I have a winch that ideally would be receiver mounted on the trailer rack but it will probably end up hard mounted inside the box with a battery for winching and running deck lights for loading trailer in the dark.
I’m in the same boat, not enough tongue space for a big box and don’t want to use any of the 18’ of deck
From a co-worker who has a pile of sleds: take the sleds out, shovel the trailer out (if needed), then park the sleds in the garage till the snow melts off and dries out.Anyone have any tips on drying out an enclosed trailer? Bought snowmobiles and an enclosed and trying to figure out the best way to deal with melting snow.
whats some good spare tire winches i can snag from the junkyard? I had those cheap rv ones on my last trailer and i was not impressed.

I like the ones found under a Nissan Frontier or Pathfinder. They are a chain winch and very compact.
People have been talking about load range E light truck tires instead of trailer tires. Are they the bees knees or are 17.5" trailer wheels/tires the shit everyone says they are?
My trailer needs a new set of wheels and tires. Wheels are rusted along the bead on the inside of the tire (never seen that before) so my options are wide open.
I swapped from 235/80R16 LR E trailer tires to 235/85R16 LR E General Grabber LT tires on the advice of this forum and they have been great over the last 700 ~ mi.
Those tires are rated for 3000# each. Good option, but I need at least 3500# per tire, so load range F, which looks like trailer only.
What about sinking the box into the floor in the front of the box? Or place a small box on the side, right in front of the tires?

Been running the provider 235/85r16 G(4400lb) on my gooseneck. I'd love to go 17.5 Alcoa and 235s for the capacity, but cant justify the cost.

^^ that look right, about $200 a tire?
I found sets or 17.5 wheels with provider tires for $250 each. Thinking that is the ticket if my other option is tires at $200 a piece.
Here's what I found. $1500 shipped. For a set of 5 to my area.

Interesting... I put a pair of 235/80R16 LR E on my trailer last summer and one broke a belt after about 500 mi. It was visibly poking through the tread
I dumped em for the LT Grabber 235/85R16 LR E tires afterwards. I did keep the one "good" provider from the pair as a spare.
When I painted it, I poured a lot of sand into the wet paint. It has a consistency similar to 60 grit sandpaper. I no longer have to worry about slipping on the metal surfaces when it is wet. The sand has held up really well everywhere except the drive over fenders.
Built a storage box into the tongue for straps.
