Wifey and I like to overland travel, mostly with our FJ60 or FJ Cruiser, getting later in our years we’re looking for a little more comfort. The Mercedes vans are too costly for us. Another option was the V10 RVs but the fuel mileage is not good. So I use our FJ60 to pull a small trailer...

Thanks, Those are nice but $95.00 a pair, I need 4 pairs. I'll make them for that much.

I’m building a roof rack for my FJ60 but I’m stuck on finding a suitable drip rail clamp, hopefully one that holds right but does not damage the stainless steel trim. Any suggestions?

LMTV Bought a LMTV from GovPlanet a couple months ago, sight un-seen flew to Texas and picked it up. Oh and it did not have a spare tire. We thought it would be a good idea to keep a rental car and follow the LMTV the 1800 miles to home. After the first 100 miles it became apparent that we no...

LMTV Camper Build Thanks for the input, Yes the pre-made composite walls are great but they start at $10,000, a lot of the expedition type windows start at $1000 ea and up. So I'm looking at just building the box myself just not sure how. The windows and doors will be used camper stuff. Ive...

Frame pivot system I just bought a 4X4 LMTV and I'm interested in the camper box pivot system. Are you selling it?

Just starting to build my LMTV camper. I would like to remove the flat bed from the LMTV, problem is I thing the truck frame will twist when off road without the flat bed. I would like to build a light weight camper frame but I afraid the camper will twist and buckle when off road. Any Ideas...

Finally bought our LMTV, now to get it home.

Wow that looks nice, I'm guessing the aluminum angle is welded together. I'm ok with that although I'd rather TIG steel. I'll look into the panels too. I like the idea of having metal corners for brush and limb protection, no inner frame...

I've seen several years ago trailers made using a 1" x 1" steel frame then the outside was skinned with a fiberglass covered plywood. Also the covered plywood was adhered to the frame using 3m VHB two sided tape. then 1" insulation (pink hard board) placed between the steel frame. Last the...

Camper panels By the way the platform I'm using is an LMTV.

Great Ideas, I'm not sure I would want someone else to cut the entire wall set out. I would have to have all the doors and windows pre-hand. I will contact them regarding panels, A US mfg would be closer however. Unfortunately I live in California where no one is allowed to make or build...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm looking for a composite panel to build a expedition camper. I would like the exterior something like fiberglass the core either plywood or some kind of structural foam. I will build a 1" x 1" steel frame then skin the outside with the panels. It would...

I have two axles under my trailer both are the mobile home axle type where the rim does not have a center with a bolt circle hole pattern. The rim is held on to the brake drum with 5 studs and a small square tab and a nut. I have found this type of set-up is not good with long trips, does...

These are more expensive but look really good. https://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/straight-led-light-bars/
