How stiff is the shift in these? Does it slam into gears? I know it's subjective...

Thanks for the help guys. I got them working. I had to drag the brakes down the expressway at 45mph for about 12 miles, but after that heat cycle, they perform to expected satisfaction. Saw it on a Google search in Pirate of all places, and it worked. Re adjusted the wheel bearings to spec and...

I have not tried spinning the wheel backwards yet. I'll give that a go tonight.

I have an axel setup with a parking brake, so it can only go one way with the cable brackets. Sorry, should have mentioned that. The brakes stop the wheel in the air, and my multi meter says I'm getting 12v to each wheel from the controller at the wheels. I'm not getting large volt reading...

The axel came fully assembled direct from Dexter. It might be possible they swapped it around, but prolly pretty slim on it. The brakes are working a bit better this morning as I put a manual drag on them on the way to work.

May have it figured out... How counter intuitive is it that you need to smoke a new set of brakes before they even begin to work? Thanks Mayne

I've installed a new dexter 3500# axel in my M416 and a Prodegy P2 in my 80 series. If I'm right, the brakes on the trailer should lock up easily as they're new, and I adjusted them slightly tight, but I barely get an assist from them. I get no error messages on the Prodegy, I've the power for...

I've a set of Motorsport-tech wheel adapters for a M416 to 6 on 5.5 Toyota pattern. I've used them for one trip, and have replaced the old axel for some electric brakes. Asking $150 plus shipping (they run $230-50 new.) No defects that I know of, as they were just highway'd up to and back from...

If you've done this mod, did you have to modify the factory aux tank fuel float, by extending the float shaft? Or did bolt on and go work just fine? I'm using George's ECM combined with all the other factory goodies. I wanna find out before stuffing it full of fuel, then finding I can only get...

Any still available or in the works? Love to purchase one from you! Cheers Maybe.

Thanks again for your thoughts on this folks. It's appreciated. Mayne

Looks like it's actually smaller that 3". I must be getting it mixed up with all the brackets for the planned air suspension. Even that's not a big deal anymore I suppose as the plasma cutter will help with brackets when I get to making a new frame... Someday.

Yes, the plan is a new axel. I'm trying to find out if dexter makes the 3500# in 3". I've the original M416 Axel underneath the trailer now. The idea of having a 3" axle tube, is simply ease of replacement with current parts and fabrication work. Unless I'm off on original axel diameter? It has...

Don't really want the weight, I just want the 3 inch axle diameter. Martyn do you happen to know if Dexter has a 3 inch axle diameter option for the 3500 pound axles?

Thanks. I'll look into that instead of getting the self adjusting breaks, as it makes a lot of sense. That maybe save a few bucks. Mayne

Is there such a thing as "over braking" a trailer? I'm finally able to re axel my M416, as it's getting a little pudgy. I'd like to keep a 3" Dia axel for ease of installation, and a 5k# axel has this and a number of niceties that are available like self adjusting brakes and hand brakes in one...

Sold.

If anybody in the area is interested in this, I'm not set on price. Let me know what it's worth to you, and we can see if we agree. The listed price is really kinda a pot shot in the dark, as I know what I payed for it years ago, but not sure what market for it now is worth. Thanks for looking...

Sorry bout that. Drivers side drop, low pinion, set up for leaf spring. Spring over axel. Thanks.

I'm also looking for a Propex heater, or a complete dual battery setup for FZJ80 minus a battery, or pump back air system. Or a rear air locker for FZJ80. I'm good for a trade. I Believe I'm fairly reasonable, worst is, I can't use or need it. Not a bidding thing here, first come with what...
