@nfloyd77, thanks for asking.
I had completed most of the work outlined in the earlier posts and spent all summer using it with my family! We pulled off 14-16 nights with the trailer and it reaffirmed what a great solution it is for my family.
Added a Dometic 12V USB faucet that pulls from the...
As I've commented before, it's an awesome truck. But I'm curious, what's the relation to this ad? https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/land-rover/discovery/2687930.html

I'd love to hear some first hand experience from a Discovery TD6 owner... Seem like an ideal family road trip machine with strong off-road capability.
This color combo looks especially good!
My design is finalized, now it's just time to get to the shop and do some welding! Two major changes I'm hoping to accomplish in the coming weeks:
1) Redesigned lid/rack assembly. I will wanted a unistrut rail along each side, but it is attached to a welded frame. Also, added lifting struts...

A few things I hope to address or improve:
Eliminate the front swing out bumper. This was just more trouble than it was worth
Improve the rear swing out bumper latch system. Destaco...
Interesting thread that I'll continue to watch, but figured I'd throw out my experience of going from 1 kid to 3 kids in less than two years (as you are about to do!):
It's pretty easy to add one kid into your pre-kid, outdoor-centric lifestyle and seamlessly incorporate them into your...
Summer has been busy, but we've managed to pull off a few camping trips. Starting to dial things in a bit more, although it takes time. A couple of highlights:
- Installed matching hard plastic cases on either side of the trailer. One is dedicated for gear storage and the other is for trash and...
From the start, I wanted a trailer that could do multiple things and wasn't purely dedicated to camping. Last weekend proved this with a family canoeing adventure and a trip to our local yard waste dump.
Just as important, I successfully got the trailer registered and plated, so I no longer...
