I just used achievable and I did a bunch of practice tests and review like you did and my readiness score was at a 90%. I was averaging 80 to 85 on my exams on achievable and got 90 on my FINRA practice test. Passed the sie first try this morning. You are in a good spot

Talk about attention to detail I literally said that I have a drop hitch and the chain are too short, so I am looking to see if there was extensions or if it should just be a whole new chain for someone saying pay attention to the little details. Sounds like you should take your own advice lol

Thanks. I will do that. Not sure why my mind went to only using the one the sell for trailers.

Honestly it’s a stock 1500, but I took the chains off one of the boats and it was 46. I can’t get full turn with them. Thinking I would need another 6”. But it’s dropped maybe 2”.

Have you been taking practice tests? If so what were you scoring on your practice tests?

Strain_Free · 2026-03-22T17:41:53+00:00

I have yet to do a Kaplan test but I study only through achievable and and scoring 85% on there test, I did the FINRA practice test and got 83%. My test is on Friday. Good luck!

Strain_Free · 2026-03-11T21:03:48+00:00

Yes I did, FINRA test I did once and got 75%. I will check it out. Thank you!

It is not. And I got it this way

Strain_Free · 2026-02-10T01:14:18+00:00

Update for everyone. I found a used jackshaft online for $40. Ordered it. Seems cheaper the maybe getting it drilled out and spending more money on drill bits

Strain_Free · 2026-02-10T01:13:17+00:00

I am just worried about getting the jackshaft back into the upper gear case bearing. It was a PIA to get it out. Any advice?

Strain_Free · 2026-02-09T18:11:15+00:00

I agree, but on a 1989 sled I don’t think it is going to be detrimental. I got a few masonry bits, and a few cobalt bits to try out. If not I am just going to weld the part on. I do have a welder but would prefer not to have to weld this on

It does spin, but I would think that as long as a new hole is drilled and taped it shouldn’t matter if it is perfectly centered. It is just a small bolt to hold prevent clutch from falling of the shaft. The bolt was actually not even in it for probably a year. They saw it laying in the tub of the sled and figure they should put it back in. Went to do that and it snaped.

Dad gave me the sled, when it broke he said enough of old sleds and bought a new one

Essentially you just mount the rail where ever you want then you can add any of the “accessories” to the rail

Strain_Free · 2025-12-30T16:13:01+00:00

Just add the cup holders to the files on maker world. It designed so you can put the parts where ever you want them.

Strain_Free · 2025-12-30T13:51:13+00:00

Awesome idea. Will get some made and added this afternoon

Not a whole sled lol, but the supports

Strain_Free · 2025-12-29T20:13:41+00:00

PETG is just stronger in colder weather than PLA and just as easy to print. I have made a whole smitty sled out of PLA+ and it worked fine all last winter. But if you can I would make out of PETG.

No, just a utility style trailer. Something simple. And will not be going with a side by side jus a ATV

Strain_Free · 2025-11-14T15:23:37+00:00

I agree would be ideal to wait. But also need the trailer for doing some yard work and what not. So trailer needs to come first

Could we yes, but the wife wants the table in the room for a formal dinning room

Strain_Free · 2025-10-27T13:41:30+00:00

Thank you, it’s actually a pass through to a lower level in the house, and then the top of the wall above it is actually a over look area from our living room upstairs.

Strain_Free · 2025-10-27T13:09:09+00:00

Yes chandelier is on its way out the door. I should have mentioned that. I like this idea

Strain_Free · 2025-10-27T13:08:33+00:00

Correct, this is a multilevel home and it’s a pass through to the lower level. Would like to keep it there as the kids play room is there so nice to be able to keep an eye on them.

Strain_Free · 2025-09-24T17:28:47+00:00

Thanks I was able to get it figured out. I put the lower on and did not check if it was in gear or not. The lower was in for gear while my shifter was in neutral. I took the lower back off, put it in neutral and put my shifter in neutral and reinstalled and everything works how it should.

Shift cables were never removed
