Thanks. Perfect boat for me!

Thanks. I've only seen a couple others. It's a bit of an odd-ball but it is so perfect for how and where I fish.

Awesome, thanks guys. Sounds good, so I'll probably just go through Ranger. I've bought from them before, but it was all boat-specific parts, and not Tie-Down or Trailer Buddy brand stuff.

I've ordered from Ranger before, so I know how that works....call them up, S/N, year, describe what you want, etc...

But I'm about to change the brakes (calipers), hubs, suspension hardware and...

Thanks. That's what I'm gonna try. I was hoping someone here had firsthand knowledge. I don't have a dealer...even in this state, let alone on the island so I'll try a spot on the back of the...

Thanks, like I say, I've already got a rock protector on the truck and the trailer. The problem is the grime, tar and crud on the hull as much as the rock chips.

My FIL is an RV guy and he goes to the RV shows and listens to the speakers and all that and I guess in the RV world, a lot of the guys prefer this kind of rock guard compared to the mud flap style....

I think I read somewhere that you don't want it near the ground because going over bumps, or if your truck sags under load it'll act like a broom and actually sweep the road and kick up rocks and...

I've got the boat wrapped now and I'm going to wrap it again in the spring, taking the wrap down to the trailer, so I've got the bra idea covered. I had it wrapped that way coming up here and road...

Thanks guys.

In the spirit of brevity, I didn't mention that I've already got a (home made) Rock Tamer on the truck and one on the forward part of the trailer and I still suffered a decent...

I did a search but didn't find what I was looking for...

I'm thinking of spraying Plasti Dip on the forward part of the hull solely for the purpose of nocking down on the chips and grime on a long...

Yes, run it.

I just towed my boat to Alaska and used T/H the whole way. I was more than pleasantly surprised at how good my mileage was and even in the Canadian Rockies and mountains of AK, I never got above...

Mine is on a switch and I can tell a difference when I run it all day (if I need it or not) and when I turn it off and on, so for me, the seperate switch is the better option.

I just towed my boat 5,000 miles through Canada and I checked my hubs and brakes at every stop. With UFP oil hubs, and a laser thermometer, I was averaging 75-85 on the non-brake axle and 85-115 on...

So going up to D fo ra 20' boat on a trailer won't have any ill effects?

Yeah, I'd like to shop around, but I'd like a chain store and a chain store support through canada. But mainly, it's that in the "Detroit area" it's only Carlisle and the Marathons that are...

Time for new tires on the trailer and it's Carlisles or Marathons. I have load range C's now...any benefit or detriment to going up to D's? I'm towing this thing back to Alaska, so I'm looking for...

I just sent Lucas an email asking them.

Anyone know what weight the Lucas Hub oil is? Doesn't say on the bottle, or their website.

I saw some hub oil at the parts store, but thought it might be too heavy. Ranger and the manual say to use 50 wt...anyone know what weight the Hub oil is? I didn't see it specifically listed on the...

I have an 01 with UFP hubs and I'm doing new bearings this weekend actually. On the phone with Ranger ordering parts and asking about servicing and the guy said "one pint." I asked him if it should...

So as a guy in the tire business...what do you have on your trailer? What tire would you sell to your Mom? LOL

Thanks.

I'm kinda in the same situation. I'm still running my "old" Marathons and it's time for new ones before I tow 5,000 miles next month. About all I can find locally are Carlisles. Wish I had more...
