Lol, thanks for the info. After not hearing anything from here I literally just got off the phone with their customer support not 10 minutes ago to get that information. I’m now all registered and ready to get it wired into my expedition trailer. Thanks for the response. Justin

I got my CFX3 75DZ from Fedex today and am trying to complete the warranty registration but I can’t find the “Article Number”. The link on their support website to “where can I find the article number?” is a dead link. Anyone know where I can find it? Thanks. Justin

I have a Tepui Explorer Ayer RTT and would like to upgrade\add more comfort to the mattress. I've read numerous threads and have been looking at some of the 1.5" memory toppers on Amazon. If i add that to the top of the OEM mattress would this be too thick for the RTT to close? Would a pillow...

I love the grey color. That was the color that I wanted to paint my trailer but wasn't able to find it and settled a lighter grey. That looks VERY professional. Justin

I finished the paint 1 week before I was supposed to leave on a trip. I spent a bunch of time working on getting the trailer lights wired up. I finished getting the trailer ready to go as the kids got off the bus from school. We loaded up the gear and headed out. The trailer towed very well...

Well I have been busy and haven't updated my build thread in a while. I have a bunch of pics to upload. I began painting the trailer 9/2016. Being the first time that i'd painted I took my time and worked hard to get even coverage. I expected to have the paint completed over the weekend...

Oh those look nice. How long are they? Should make it smoother than the standard trailer springs.

Also, my choice was skewed because I got this drop axle for free from a neighbor that was sending a car hauler trailer to the scrap yard. If I was purchasing an axle I may do it differently but I do like all the clearance that it has. My trailer took some abuse on the last trip I was on. It...

I setup the axle on my trailer in this configuration. I towed it behind my pickup for 600 miles on my last trip over the Magruder Corridor and the Lolo Motorway in Idaho without any issues. I wondered about the leverage on the axle as well but after I got everything torqued down, I began...

Hello everyone. I put together this video for anyone that has an early 90's 4x4 Toyota Pickup with A.D.D. front diff and don't have manual hubs. This is a cheap way to hack the vacuum system to allow you to have 2WD Low Range. I have been using this for several years on my 1991 Toyota...

Thanks Greg. I have been known to over engineer things when I build. I have a trip planned in a few weeks, so I'm working overtime trying to get the trailer done so that it can come along as well. It's going to be close. I didn't make as much progress on the paint this weekend so I'm now...

Now that summer is over i've made some progress. I ordered all the camp lighting, wiring, and the shocks which should be all the parts that will be needed for finishing the trailer after I get it painted. I spent the day Monday working on drilling all the holes for running the wiring in the...

HF Antenna The tripod mounted antenna on top of my canopy is the setup that I use when on my Overland trips. It is a horizontal dipole built out of MFJ Ham Sticks. I built the mounting base out of 1/4" aluminum plate that I drilled and tapped to allow one of the Ham Sticks to thread into it...

I'm always switching memory channels while i'm traveling. In our area we have a linked repeater system that I monitor quite often. While moving through the region, depending on the area, one repeater will offer better coverage than another. Even on my way to work I have two different...

I purchased them at a metal supply\trailer supply store in my area. They can also be purchased at McMasterCarr and are called "Narrow-Profile Weld-On Lift-Off Hinges" http://www.mcmaster.com/#weld-on-hinges/=12a4cxs I used the same style hinges on the tailgate as well just the next size...
