As a suggestion: if you can, put the same rims as your Foz on it beore you put on the guards. then you've got two extra spares if you need them..
Does it have any suspension? It might rattle everything to bits off road if it doesn't (which is another reason why larger rims and tyres would help - aired down they would smooth out the bumps a bit). Would add a bit to the weight of course, but shoudn't affect the carrying capacity (should it?).

Thanks Kevin, it came with mud gaurds, they just needed to be removed along with one wheel to fit it inside my mates trailer, which looked quite funny when he arrived lol Quote:
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Im so happy with it Thanks mate Quote:

but i dont know what its called It isnt a spring/shock combo or leaf springs but ill take a pic of it tomorrow. It wont be somthing i take on extreame offroading trips or anything, so ill just take it slow this first trip and see how she goes. Anything much bigger than a 10" rim would probly force the tyre to rub against the frame without spacers, and with spacers, the tyre would stick out of the mud gaurds. Theres just not much room to play with as its a small trailer. 1WD |

That little thing is fine as it is. No need to paint it or put other wheels on it. Its just fine as that.

It would probably end up doubling the cost of the trailer by the time you've finished with it. so probably not worth it. Still, it's 10 and a bit times cheaper than mine was (and that was just the trailer, not the camper as well)

![]() ![]() I think this picture helps to explain a few things Firstly if you look closely you’ll see a black “arm” that goes from the wheel to the silver structure.... that black piece is the “suspension” lol It travels up and down with some sort of spring affect, Not 100% but from looking at it I think both wheels travel independently from each other. Secondly if you look at the right wheel in the pic above you will see what room I have to play with in regards to upsizing the rims The Tyres on the rims are 4.00 x 8 I could always make bigger guards to help fit a slightly bigger tyre rim combo 1WD |

At first i thought you have acccident there lol.
Yh that suspension is prety ummm simple no? Haha maybenyou could upgrade it thou you dont need it swing too much to sides. So maybe its simple on purpose to be cheap. But some upgrades still could be done there. |

Lol no accident just flipped over so rain won’t pool inside
It’s very simple indeed But your exactly right It’s meant to be simple I won’t be taking it down crazy tracks So far, only looking online I’m having a semi hard time finding tyres for it in my area. And I need an extra 8” rim for a spare too Will need to call around a few places in the morning to see if I can get a tyre that small with a speed rating of “M” (130k) 1WD |

So places who sell those trailers dont have tires for them? You could carry just spare tire at least.
I like how light it is so thats why small wheels . eveeything there made for reason. Its not for carying rocks on mountain roads i guess haha. Erde 122 spare wheel is Rs480x8 . just find who sell them . i see them plenty on net. Then just mount it somewhere out of way ![]() |

Yes tomorrow I will take the wheel to some shops and see how that goes
Fingers crossed I managed to make it to the wreckers after nightshift and got a nice Hayman Reece tongue and ball for $20 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So tomorrow I’ll hopefully get the 2 tyres And I’m not sure I’ll be able to source a spare rim before i need to go away, And I don’t want to drive so far with for the first time using this trailer without a spare so I thought of maybe getting that sludge or whatever it’s called, The one where you plug it into a flat tyre and it fills it with goo so you can make it home Anyone used this stuff ? 1WD |

$20 is good value! Looks like you need to flip that tongue upside down.
If the trailer proves to be a problem you could always just throw it up on the roof! :-)
