  1. Yes Mobile zero 40 in my Mercedes convertible coupe 3.2 L with two spark plugs per cylinder (electronic speed limiter set at 155 mph) requires Mobile. 7.6 qts of oil! I haven't tripped the speed limiter ...YET! You know in Florida the radar speed signs in slow down areas do not read above 90mph!
  2. T4 diesel is what I buy in 5 gallon bucket from walmart....free delivery.
  3. Hard to find dealers ....They franchise through a lot of Motorcycle / ATV dealers who don't stock .
  4. I wonder what brand of trailer ..aluminum trailer Mike bought? I see the weihts of identical size aluminum trailers can vary from 600 lbs to 800 lbs.
  5. yes, you are correct the ciggy socket is universal. Getting the hot and gnd wrong can be catastrophic. Getting the right hole is critical but I like the SAE "polarized connectors".
  6. You know I could leave Grandma's compressor 53 Qt freezer/cooler in the truck and just take water and .snackies on Forman. Not drinking and riding...But at night if camping overnight (I usually sleep in the truck) I need a night cap! Forman has a 10 Amp fused socket on front. I could extend that to the Moose. Good Idea....However I hate those "cigarette lighter " sockets! What is alternative?
  7. Ice bath experienced!
  8. Picture ? Six pack cooler.... LOL ..what was in it may I ask...? I drink water without ice,...LOL Bourbon and Rum need Ice.. I pour the ice water over me to cool off.
  9. Its 53 qts.... People should be aware of heat stroke and heat exhaustion during the hot weather. I love having ice cubes on after these hot days laying in the tent too cool down. It is nice...
  10. I also bought two new 15 inch trailer tires on Amazon already mounted on rims. BTW the Southwest wheel kit came with additional grease seals in case my Dexter axle was an older version. prompt delivery with emailed updates. The tech support guy was nice...🫦
  11. I mean Grandma's freezer is rated at 45 watts@12vdc at low power & 65 watts at maz...so that computes to 3.75 amps. to 5.4 amps.
  12. Foreman has an auxiliary electrical cigarette style 10 amp socket. 45 watt load. The compressor freezer i got Grandma is small enough to go in the Moose? Plus the rough ride on Foreman! Damn, I wear my mesh motorcycle jacket and and a support bra..... but iin a camper would be great!
  13. yes I was packing for a day 80 mile day ride on Forman. So what ever will fit in the Moose. So small cooler with Milk (for My rum $ Milk after ride drink) and lunch. But I am looking at the Freeze dried stuff also to try.
  14. Well thank you! however, it came as a kit...I mean everything bearings, seals backplate, drums, spindle nut...Southwest Wheels. They have tech help which I called of course..LOL.
  15. also why do you never see brakes on single axle trailers? I installed on mine. It was easy.
  16. The freeze dried food is a game changer. A lot of folks pack veggies. I was surprised to read about picnic food poisoning that a lot of people fail to wash them before handling and eating. Always wash melons before eating.
  17. the enclosed trailer /storage is a real plus. I wonder how they tow with my Highlander with tandem axles? Probably i would have to use my truck.
  18. well the small cooler bags are dangerous if not packed with ice. .Ha Ha cold beer...I like milk that does not need to be refrigerated. AKA Shelf Stable milk...first saw it in Europe. Over there you could pick the butterfat content...WOW! But of course evaporated milk can be kept unrefrigerated....evaporated condensed milk was introduced commercially back in 1864 ....Can you says "Gail Borden" Elsie the Cow?
  19. Wow...I packed a small soft side cooler with an ice pack at -4 F and inserted my Type K thermocouple sensor inside so I could monitor the temperature without opening. After 3 hours the inside temperature was 60 F...OMG! The ice pack was solid frozen. Standard temperature for safe storage is < 40 F. What I found by asking was that there should be no air space in the cooler. Packed with Ice preferably ice from connivence store (normally 0 F of less). Food should take up short day trip1:1 ratio. Good coolers are expensive.
  20. Yes my Foreman is manual...I would love something tat mounted in front of ATV....
  21. Never considered two (2)axle....I assume tongue weight would still be the same as a single axle? My 16 ft bed with 2 x 6 box tube frame jerks me around even in the truck especially when empty....
  22. I have E-Brackets and associated retractable straps so I am concerned also about aluminum floor Vs wood floor for mounting the E-braclets. Also tryingto keep trailer weight down so only considering single axle with 15inch wheels.
  23. I am still struggling with buying a new trailer. My young mechanic friend told me that Aluminum trailers would should structural stress. I foynd a picture /review of a 10 ft galvalume trailer that buckled with a Polaris 1000 on it on the first haul. Also are torsion suspensions good? I have decided on a 10 ft trailer that will haul either my 1400 lb SXS. or my sand rail behind my Toyota Highkander. If i take both the Foreman and the SXS i will use my Tundra and load the Foremen in the bed of the truck.
  24. Hmmm....good point...
