Ez ryder Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 decent for the money . mine is like 4 yrs . hinges have some rust the better triton uses galvanized and have zerks. also steel Axle rust is pretty bad triton uses galvanized there also . they have updated f door locks so that is good . if ordering I would spend the cash for the extra axle. when I got mine it was only 700 bucks . and so you know you can stuff 3 155 mountain sleds in one . I did not move mine till 2 weeks back this yr and with all the snow it actualy kinked one of the roof joists. I must say it was pretty full of frozen hard snow . I would buy again and would 100% not buy with out the extra added axle. oh the alloy wheels get some sort of oxidation and start leaking our of the bead and you have to get tires pulled and they clean them off and put some goo on and they have been good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez ryder Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 oh I also like the triton extra big f door that mine dose not have . but all this said triton would not build with extra axle and even with my extra,axle all mats and glides it was still over a grand less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcom(snopro mission high country) was either made in Maine or i think it's North Dakota where they have their western plant. there was a period of time they were all crap (clam and hybrid) but not hearing as many issues now.

Loaned it out to a friend and he calls me last night and says they're sitting along the interstate with the axle broke off between where the axle and the frame of the trailer bolts together. 1.5 hours away from home. It's a 94 loadrite and that was it's second axle. Debating whether to rebuild again or just take my losses and update. Problem is, there's nothing wrong with the worthington top. Would really like something longer than 10', and get out of the damn tilt deck shit as well. Anywho, thanks for the replys fellas on what's quality and what to stay away from.

Ahhh...the old loaned out and broken deal...that sucks. Yeah I’m looking for a used open trailer right now and 11 or 12 feet is the way to go and ramps are more convenient then a tilt IMO. Good luck in your search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the ramp deal has gotten old, along with my back feeling older. New shit's expensive. Never seems to be enough money to go around and cover all the basis.

smokin george Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I had a Mission crossover that was a good trailer but it was a parachute behind the truck. I got rid of it and bought a Legend 19ft enclosed and it was a decent build, pulled behind the truck like it wasn't there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a 12ft Karavan, all galvanized, torsion axle that's doing dual duty for sled/sxs. They should be reasonable down there. I would've bought an Excalibur up here but they didn't have any in stock when I needed it. I'd say they make the best open on the market and reasonably priced in CDN money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez ryder Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 rust on hinges i was talking about . not world ending but still only 4 yrs old . like I said triton uses galvanized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayward Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 So the galvanized hinges didn't rust at all? I would think the galvanizing is just a "coating" and the salt would eat into it in short order. Just assessed the damage, and i'm thinking i'm gonna try a new galvanized axle. Nothing else wrong other than the current axle folded itself back to thepoint of the tires ran up against the plywood floor to the point of the passenger side actually wore through the 5/8 plywood. The stringers still look straight as an arrow. Either way have to fix it even if I upgrade, thinking maybe this spring might be the time to find an end of year deal on something more user-friendly.

I had a tririon clam before this one that the axle took a shit .I think what happened was the gasket between alloy frame and axle wore out and made axle loose so bolts got loose and axle pretty much came off 1 side . lol fixed enough to get home at the tractor supply parking lot in Hancock MI . guy plowing lot with a bobcat picked up whole thing for us . but like I said the twin axle was cheep like 700 and worth every dime on my snopro. I would deff not feel comfortable stuffing 3 sleds in it with only 1 . not the reason I did it in fact I did not even know I could stuff 3 in it when I bought it . but I have spent time on the side of a ice highway with not much sholder before snowbank starts at night changing a trailer tire and never want to do that again Edited February 18, 2020 by Ez ryder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
