🔩 Lippert 276602 Venture Fifth Wheel Landing Gear Box: Lightweight Aluminum Construction for Enhanced Durability Review

Replacement for the crappy factory design on my 2007 Weekend Warrior toy dump truck I bought a trailer and wanted to hitch it and the transmission broke. A good old-fashioned ingenuity got the trailer home and off the truck. Just started looking to find a factory plastic block for about $50, wife popped in here and found it for $40 and it's aluminum! Got up with no problems, works great and should last a long time. Full recommendation!

The same plastic construction failed on my trailer a few years ago. I removed and reassembled it to make it work again in a compromised way. I was pleased to find that the same design is now available in an aluminum body (as it should have been from the start). It was easy to install and I expect it to last a long time. My trailer is from 2004 so surprisingly after 16 years I found a perfect replacement.

Transmission ripped from the factory because it's plastic! I have no idea why the manufacturers made the device that is under so much torque out of plastic! I was happy to find this piece made from a more durable material at a reasonable price. There weren't any installation instructions, but it was pretty clear. I was able to remove my old transmission and install the new one myself and am not very mechanically savvy. I was happy to save some money that I would have spent at a mechanical shop!

I took a chance on it working on my 2005 Raptor toy dump truck. The factory gearbox was Fulton. From what I've read about some of the questions asked, this unit will not replace a FULTON gearbox. To me they looked the same and the ratio was the same so I bought one. It fit and worked perfectly, in fact it worked so well that when the new motor I was running at the same time burned out after a single use, I had to manually crank this beast about a foot to get my truck under it as I walked up a…

I have a 2008 Toy Hauler with a plastic version of this chassis box. One day the chassis would not lower on one side and I noticed that the gearbox body had a crack. I found and bought this at Revain; the packaging was good and no damage problems. Perfect for a replacement, I even opened it up to make sure the gears were lubed which they really are. let's get back to that. I'm thinking about getting a different gearbox as well as a motor so I can ride each side individually, but not right now.

Picked up my new (me) Weekend Warrior 5th steering wheel from the dealer, everything was fine. I've always had a bumper, so I don't know much about 5s. I brought it to storage to drop off and it wouldn't raise the chassis anymore to lift the trailer off my truck, it just made a horrible grinding noise. Tried to lift manually by the handle, does not come out. When I started researching, I found that the chassis gearbox was split in two. I called the dealer, they said bring it in, we'll put a new
