Hi.
What is the maximum safe load you have haulted with your tundra?
What is the maximum safe load you have haulted with your tundra?
agreed , how about adding it to this cargo sleigh thread in the Tundra FAQsNo "PM-ing", let us see too!
Safe is generally hauling a load a long distance through good or difficult conditions without causing imediate or long term costly dammage to the snowmobile.I don't know what "Safe" encompasses but this is right up near the limit for weight I'm thinking. Hauled this full grown bull out for bait tonight and I would guess it was somewhere near a 1,200 lb load. I only took it 12 miles on fairly flat ground.
Yep. Those are 1/2" wire rope clamps. I used 4 of them on the tongues of the sleds I build, which are essentially a copy of the green one Nooksack showed here made by Northern Sled Works. Tongue is 1/2" UHMW, the "stock" length that David at Northern Sledworks builds is 3' long. I put 4' tongues on several of our sleds and they work way better, 3' is a bit short for taller machines nowadays, the pull angle is a bit too vertical and causes a lot of yanking in the rougher trails. The longer the tongue the smoother the sled rides, and backs up better. Of course if you are pulling doubles or triples, the rearward sleds can have shorter tongues. I have a bunch of pics of the sleds we built I'll get compiled on the sled thread here soon...Here are some attachment point pictures.
I wasn't sure if you were being politically correct or sensible Samoyed, thanks for the clarification =)

I am going to swap out the torxs bolts for regular hex bolts in critical areas like the hitch. And stock up my toolbox. Things have changed, the machines I used to drive where held togather with standard hex bolts, non of this metric or worse, Torx heads. :happy_old:If you look carefully at your Tundra, *all* the screws and bolts are torx. I carry a combination screwdriver, you change shanks and bits. The shank has 1/4 and 3/16 ends, good for nutdriver or tightening hose clamps. The bits are small and larger flat and phillips. You can buy a few torx bits as well, and there you have a complete screwdriver setup for your toolbag.
