    What did I get myself into?

    where did ya pick up the axel, and what did it end up running you? Just curious, I have toyed with the Idea of getting some hub converters, but I don't like the idea of having the tires sticking out an extra 2 inches.

    I used a wire wheel on a 10 amp angle grinder. If I were to do it again, I would wait until you have the money for media blasting. I am still pulling wires both out of my clothes and there are couple still embedded in my skin... I would only reccomend it as a last resort. It didn't do a very...

    I picked up a 3d printer yesterday so there should be a multitude of unique mods to come

    I wish I had seen this before I started my build!! I used some 1-1/4" angle iron to mount my hinges, but this looks much better, good work! My hack job: :(

    I was thinking of scooting the tent forward on the Thule rails, but that is about the best I could do since the rails are screwed to the lid, but like you said its worth a shot to make it a little better. I also have an Oddyssey group 34 deep cycle that I am going to be mounting in this harbor...

    Trailer Battery

    I love my Odyssey batteries, they are a bit pricey, but I think they are completely worth it. I have a Trolling thunder 31M in the cab of the 4runner and then a trolling thunder group 34 for the trailer (install in progress). My father has run them in his boats for years and they are by far the...

    Robert, thank you for your help on this one, I repacked the trailer today and went for a drive and it towed straight as an arrow. I think I will need to work out a way to increase tongue weight (possibly a chest with batteries) because I can't afford not to be able to utilize the full length of...

    I will try repacking it then I think that may help. I am spring over the l-r tipping is caused by the back and forth oscillation. The sway is then escalated by the tipping and it begins to resonate. Shocks will dampen and stop the tipping after it starts and I believe the sway as well since it...

    I have virtually no tounge weight right now... if I am not careful when I pull the trailer off the hitch it will go nose up on me. So this could very well be the issue. I have pulled in the past 75+ fully loaded and it pulled fine before the build started. My reasoning for the shocks was...

    So I have a problem. I love the trailer and it is wonderful to use, but it's road manners are not the best... On our first outting we found that anything over 55 mph if there is the slightest curve or bump the trailer will start to sway violently. I think this is partially due to the added...

    Went camping/duck hunting down by a local river. Was a good time and took some time to get some cool pictures. No snow this time too which was nice lol.

    Weather last weekend didn't quite cooperate for our trip. Saturday morning we woke to about a half inch of snow with a rain mix following. We had plans for hiking hinting and fishing but since the weather outlook was bleak we decided to head to town for touristy things. We found an open house at...
