I am working on adding a positive pressure ventilation connected to the trailer power currently, I tend to have to keep increasing the pressure on the doors to keep the dust out. For spare parts I call Smittybilt, they have been good about this.

I replaced the XO500 with the XO750, the XO750 has failed on me as well. There are two pins that keep the jack/wheel assembly from rotating on the center pivot. The welds that hold the back of one of the posts broke. Had the second one failed it would have dropped the trailer on the tongue...

I sent the link in an IM, when I add it to the tread it just embeds it as it appears.

You inspired me, I just had to replace a taillight. I stared a Google Doc, this link should allow you to comment or I can send you and edit link.

I did the same and have been running it for ~ 2 years with no issue. I did bend my XO500 pushing it over the garage transition extended too high so I would would lower it when you are moving it on the jockey wheel.

I have had the XO500 on my Smittybilt Scout for ~2 years and been really happy with it up to last week. Way easier to move than the stock jockey wheel. Moving the trailer out of the garage it bent, you can see the square tube is bulging on the flat. While I like their product and I have a...

I have been used the adapter and it has worked fine. I also have a Bronco on order and lucky me the Bronco and Tacoma bolt patterns are the same. I also have a swing out tire carrier on order. He is making mine just wide enough to clear the rear door as opposed to the full width shown...

@Catalanbull I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on the RC industries boxes, thanks for pioneering these and sharing! It looks like the depth is not sufficient for the door to drop straight down with the chains disconnected. Would the hinge design allow this if the boxes were deeper and how...

has anyone put in heavier duty and or better quality slides in the back? One of mine failed this last weekend and the other is having issues.

I use mine almost every trip, I added a bar to mount a mud flap and a different jack as well so I don't have to use the adapter piece. this makes it more stable as well. I added on on the front opposite the jockey wheel, with this setup I can level and stabilize the trailer on almost any ground...

I have the Max Coupler, it has been fine but I tire of lining up the pin and getting it thru the Yoke. If you are on flat ground it isn't too bad, but if you end up needing to decouple the trailer to get thru a spot in the trail it can be very difficult to get that pin back in. My wife picked up...

I have the Blue Sea M2 which I like mostly... except for the LiFePO4 SOC monitoring that I have been having issues with, this last weekend it read 39% when the bank hit the cutoff voltage. They don't have LiFePO4 setting but were helpful in answering my questions and telling me how to modify the...

My concern is the tongue weight on this trailer is already high. Given the location I would estimate 25-50% of the added weight to be on the tongue. Assuming 250 lbs when filled that would increase the tongue weight by 60-125 lbs. Maybe @RyanHeller can give us an answer? Great to see products...

It's believe its made in the same factory as the Smittybilt Scout. Many of the features and parts look identical. They are built in China, I am not sure where but I could probably find out as I am typically in China 4-10 times a year when there isn't a pandemic/trade wars.

That was my though, I can always dump heat overboard but producing too little heat is the original problem the heater was trying to fix.
