Hello Bruce, Thanks for writing in! Using butyl tape between the trailer body and the Single Axle Jeep Style Trailer Fender - Diamond Plate Aluminum - 13" to 15" #HP96VR is exactly the route I would go. It stays flexible, creates an…
A trailer that is over 80 inches wide is required by DOT regulations to have rear clearance lights. An over 80 inch taillight kit, like part #TL16RK, will have the side clearance light built into it. An under 80 inch taillight does not have the…
I sure can Blake! I just heard back from Dexter and both of your axles are 3,500 lbs capacity. That's all the information they were able to provide. Here are the replacement parts you've requested: Hub/Drums - 5 on 4-1/2 Lug Nut Pattern item…
Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.
That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
Hey Darren, the studs of the Optronics Fusion LED Trailer Light #OPT45KB that you referenced are not designed to thread out of the assembly easily. You could take a cutting wheel to them and cut them off flush pretty easily though if you wanted to…
We do offer a wide variety of replacement lights for trailer but since trailer manufacturers don't keep a record of what they use on trailers I would need some pictures of the lights you are wanting to replace along with some measurements so I…
Hey Sal, the Optronics Fusion LED Trailer Light #OPT45KB is for just 1, not set of 2. These are super nice, but if you want some other options to consider, we also have the Fusion LED Hardwired Trailer Light #OPT57NR which does have the same…
No, it is not plug and play Paul but it can be. The TecNiq Contoured Seven Function Box Style Tail Light item #TN62XR passenger side and item #TN42XR driver's side use a 3-Prong PL-3 Plug like item #TN47PV. These lights measure 7-1/2" long x…
Hey Rick. Unfortunately that's correct the Wesbar Tail Light 271594 has been discontinued. Our best option for replacing it is the LED Trailer Tail Light item #STL36RB for the passenger side and item #STL37RB for the driver side. The Wesbar light…
The appropriate torque spec for any application will vary depending on the construction of the wheel as well as on the stud size. I suggest checking the wheels you're using to see if their manufacturer has a suggested torque rating. Steel trailer…
Boost nighttime visibility with 3M options that pair well with your trailer lights. Reflective conspicuity tape is very bright at nights, uses an adhesive that is very strong, and can wrap on a bar that is 90 degrees with a very small radius. Options include red and white 2" wide 150' rolls with a 7-year warranty; install on a clean surface, and select offerings are DOT Legal.
Yes, it's flexible enough to wrap around a bar at 90 degrees with a very small radius. Warm the tape slightly if needed and work it down evenly around the bend. Press along the edge to reduce lifting on tight curves.
It's described as very bright at nights to help you be seen and avoid an accident. Apply it to clean, smooth areas for the best reflection. Use continuous runs along the trailer edges where lights don't cover to boost visibility.
It has been used to make a trailer DOT Legal when applied correctly. Choose red and white conspicuity patterns where required and place them in the proper locations. Clean the surface well so the tape stays put and does its job.
Yes, 3M reflective tape is a good fit for a car hauler trailer. It's described as very bright at night to help you be seen. Clean the surface before applying so it sticks well. Press it down firmly and avoid moving it once placed since the adhesive holds strong and is hard to remove.
