Stabilizer Bar Kit and Axle Upgrade Kit. Now available.

This is the new attachment system, much stronger.

New Toads use a special rod end and eliminate the bracket.

Stabilizer Bar attached to Toad and hitch

**Stabilizer Bar Kit- an option you might need.

1. Eliminate the "slop" between the draw bar and the receiver tube.

2. Takes the stress off receiver tube opening when backing up, this prevents "stretching out the receiver tube opening".

These are common problems and we have a great way to fix it.

This is a required upgrade for those of you with trailers over 10,000 lbs no matter how tight the draw bar fit is in the receiver hitch. The reason we recommend this is, there is a tremendous side load on the drawbar and receiver tube when backing up. The Stabilizer Bars help spread that load out and can prevent bending or breaking the draw bar or splitting the receiver tube.

We are offering a "Stabilizer Bar" kit to help reduce the "looseness" and "wandering" of the front of the trailer when the draw bar is loose in the receiver hitch tube.

"Do you have this problem?

Here is a quick way to find out:

Unhook the trailer and pull ahead a foot or so. Grab the back of the Trailer Toad (it took me and my son) and see if you can slide it sideways. If it moves more than an inch, it means your draw bar is not a tight fit in the hitch receiver tube. I would consider the "stabilizer bars" or something similar you fabricate yourself.

If you want some help deciding on how to get your Trailer Toad equipped with Stabilizer Bars just call or email me and we can work it out.

We have Stabilizer Bar kits available right now. All we need is a measurement from the mounting hole on your Trailer Toad 3500HD to the main tube on your tow vehicle hitch.

For some customers it will be easy to copy what I did because you have the equipment. For others, we will make them for you.

Cost of the complete Stabilizer Bar Kit is $139.95.

The Stabilizer Bar kit consists of:

two- QA-1 black high-misalignment, 5/8" RH rod-ends for attachment to Trailer Toad

two- QA-1, zinc-coated 5/8" LH rod-ends,

four jam nuts,

two 5/8" attachment bolts and nyloc nuts to attach rod end to Trailer Toad.

two 1/2" x 2" bolts to attach rod ends to brackets with nyloc nuts.

two- threaded steel stabilizer bars with 5/8" LH and RH threads. (these ship after you provide measurement as per instructions.)

two special steel brackets that must welded to hitch or frame of tow vehicle (that choice is up to the customer).

This is the new Stabilizer Bar Kit.

Axle Upgrade Kit:

Put 15" tires on your Trailer Toad, make it work like a 3500HD model.

$525.00 for complete kit.

Problem: Difficulty locating 12" ST145 replacement tires.

Reason: RV manufacturers were the primary users of the 12" tires and when their businesses either shut the doors or drastically reduced production the tire importers quit bringing the 12" tires into the U.S. We cannot find a U.S. manufacturer of this tire and we sure can't make them out of thin air so we have to offer you an alternative. There are two options:

Replace your 12" tires and wheels with 13" tires and wheels that are more readily available. You will have to either fabricate some new fender brackets or modify existing brackets. You can also use the new 3500HD fenders we put on the 2009-2011 Trailer Toads and either make your own bracket or get one from us.
Replace the axle assembly with the new 2011 Trailer Toad 3500HD Axle Upgrade Kit. It is made to keep the Trailer Toad at the same height and bolt on to existing Trailer Toads. The Kit comes with fenders and all hardware and is a bolt-on improvement.
If you want to upgrade to the "Dual Pin Reverse" locking system we will include the dual-pin lock pins and tubes (welding required to install).
We will also include the taller spare tire holder bracket. (welding required to install).
**Options: We can send the axle out with Saf-T-Lube hubs in either 5x4.5" bolt circle or 6x5.5" bolt circle. This might make it easier to match your trailer wheels.
We can include 2 steel wheels (your choice of wheel bolt pattern), ST225/75R15D tires and a spare tire on a steel wheel for $450.00.
Complete kit sells for $525.00 less tires and wheels. $975.00 with tires and wheels.

I am interested in more information on the Stabilizer Bar Kit and/or the Axle Upgradse Kit so I can use 15" tires on my Trailer Toad.
