Better?

Triton makes aluminum trailers that are light and last. I have one I bought in 2007 and still good.

Can you do this? 😆

Nothing wrong with that

Nice Legs.mp4

This is how I kicked off the new year. Five days off from work. 4 inches of fresh snow and sunshine. Nice legs, for a human.

Common issue since the harness moves as you turn the handlebars. In the re-design of the Alterra the pod is now part of the front plastics and not attached to the handlebars. Next time you have plastics off, check the harness for rubbing spots. I use spiral wrap to protect it at potential rub areas. Thanks for reporting back on your situation.

Happy New year!

Actually the original owners bought it back so I am hopeful they bring the brand back to what it was. Nothing like sitting outside around a fire with a few drinks.

Looking forward to a hopefully good year of riding and skiing. This is also the year I will be starting to step away from working.

That is a new one to me

My auto CVT has never let me down.

Why January 11th?

Merry Christmas

Here is the diagram exported as a JPG. If you look at the orange wire coming off the IGN fuse, it splits off, so if you follow it it connects to the 4WD actuator, Front ACC plug, Neutral relay, foot brake switch, gauge pod, left handlebar controls including a small switch for the hand brake. Your front accessory plus is probably under the pod by the steering, it is a 2 pin connector, commonly used to add grip heaters and winch controls. I would disconnect all these things, put a new fuse in, start plugging stuff back in and wiggle each. If the fuse blows before this, then it is a harness issue, probably at that splice. (common issue with 200X Cats) If it holds then plugging in one item at a time should find it. (fuse will blow again)

Good, that site still exists. The wiring diagrams is the large file, 6th down. The quality of the PDF is very good.

Yes that website will have the diagram for your machine. If you want to extract it and make a print of it, one sheet is useless, it will be too small to see anything. Follow my guide I wrote up years ago here. I printed the wiring diagram on 6 sheets (3 across, 2 down) https://www.arcticchat.com/threads/extract-and-print-schematics.313549/?post_id=2615590#post-2615590

Never thought about using slime as a sealer for the bead. Ill have to remember that.

Blowing the ignition fuse could be a few things. First unplug the 4WD actuator and try another fuse. If it holds, the actuator got water in the electronics. If it blows again, then you have to trace the harness. Do you have a wiring diagram?

When I have had tires changed, 35-40 psi was what it took to seat the bead.

Got home from a business trip and had enough snow to plow (made the drive home real fun)

There are a lot of them out there. My camping one is an Austrvanik It is the most power efficient. I could run the whole weekend camp trip on battery only. My dual zone one is a Vaycold. but I ended up with 2 of them. First one had an issue when the freezer section called for cold, the fridge section would drop below setpoint and keep going while the freezer was calling. Idiot delivery driver dropped it while delivering it. Called them about it and they sent me another one free. First one works, as long as I shut off the freezer section. One night I was bored and decided to take it apart. Sure enough a few wires were loose and afterwards, works like a charm. The small one is an Alcipool (spelling?)

Probably an older thermoelectric type cooler. I had them before, they suck. They don't have a temperature setting on them.

In my area, families used to have their own private graveyards on their properties.

Its a refrigerator that looks like a cooler but it runs on 12/24 volts. Usually includes a power brick to run it off 120 volts. The one shown here is a small one. It uses a compressor and can even be set as a freezer if needed. This small one is the one I usually keep in the shed on a shelf in the summer to have cold drinks handy when I am working on something. (the shed is like my workshop and where I maintain the quads) Right now I have it powered up because I am going on a trip for a few days and want a few cold ones in the hotel room. These are very power efficient. I have a larger one I take camping and run it off the battery. Uses 3amps when running (at 12 volts) and they are very quiet. I also have a dual-zone one so I can use the small compartment as a freezer for ice packs when we quad ride in the summer to keep the drinks cold during the day.
