trailer weight

[Gadzooks]

How much does my zook weigh? Or more importantly can I load it onto a sled or atv trailer? Looking at some trailer options. What type of trailer do I need? Would prefer to have the smallest possible trailer that will work.

This is 90-95 Stock, so it gives you a point to start.

Whoa, was guessing but didn't think it was that much, and thats before my tires...hmmm, going to have to get a bigger trailer than I anticipated.

I think mine is at about 3000lbs but it is a LWB with Toyotas and 36's.

I wouldn't say that much. Mine is 3300 and I have a 4.3 and dana axles. I'd guess the 4.3 is a good 300 lbs heavier, the 700R4 is 150lbs heavier, the dana's are about 100lbs heavier each. Plus another few hundred pounds of cage......so around 2700-2800lbs for the LWB.

As for trailers, do it right and buy a dual axle trailer with brakes on at least one axle. you can find good ones for 1500-2500 used. anything less than 1000.00 will cost you an extra 1000.00 to make it safe. They will generally need new brakes, new tires and usually rewiring.

Thanks ML I just figured on that as I was told it was about 2500 before I added the toys and 36's so added 500lbs

Cheap is usually dangerous. I think we have had a few bad examples of that in the past. Doing a Zuk on a budget is different than doing it cheap. PLease don't mix them up.

Bulding on a budget: Building your own tie rod for hi-steer using QA1 hiem joints instead of buying an aftermarket kit is building on a budget.

Building cheap: Building your own tie rod for hi-steer using tractor joints is being cheap and or dangerous.;)
