Great idea to batch weld those hinges. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

Drove the GX up to Tahoe last week. It did great and everyone was super comfortable. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Pretty sure those are torsion Bars. The torsion axle in a trailer uses a big chunk of rubber as a spring and damper in one. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Looks like a promising start to a great camping trailer. What are you using for the slide out material? Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Nice little trailer Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

I think you're right- I don't believe the civilian trailers came with shock mounts either. That or it's a very early civilian model that used surplus frames. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

I had actually started my post before seeing your second set of pics. You are a brave, brave person. Even the dog looks concerned! Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Good on you for taking on the project. I had bought one a couple years ago, but every time I looked at it I got so discouraged by the rust and all the previous "fixes" done by previous owners (Bondo and caulk were the materials of choice for them). How's the frame look? How are you addressing...

It could have some benefits off-road, I think. If it's loaded up it would be nice to have the electric brakes when you're going downhill on steep grades. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

I do a lot of armchair engineering as I plan out my trailer build and I've thought about a lifting platform like yours and how to raise it mechanically. Besides the options you've mentioned I've thought about using pneumatic actuators. We all have compressors on board, they are waterproof by...

Oh and the 4.6 has a timing chain, the 4.7 had the timing belt. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

I tried to answer a few- you may want to post on Facebook gxor. I have a 470 but I see a lot of people posting about the 460. 7) do all versions have the flip up rear window? Yes 8) are any skid plates offered from factory? I think just basic thin steel ones but any 5th gen 4runner set for...

I like it. I like the modularity so you can have ammo boxes with different contents for various purposes: set of boxes for general use, a set for hunting and camping, another for hardcore off roading etc. Very nice! What are the details on the axle, springs and tongue. Sent from my Pixel 3a...

Not sure about sequoias, but I bought my 09 GX470 a couple years ago with 60k miles. Always Lexus serviced and probably only driven to the country club based on all the tees I found between and below the seats. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

That looks like it should be doable. Are you changing the axle or springs at all? Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Looks pretty good. Do you have a version with the slide deployed? Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Staying with the stock size tire will definitely help maintain your current mpg. Although I have 255 75 17 (Just shy of 32") Cooper AT3's and found that I can still get up to 19 mpg highway on long trips. This size also fits in the stock spare location very easily. As far as suspension, I think...

Price drop - $60 shipped (PayPal) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Like the title says- will fit 4th gen 4Runner and GX470. Mounted for a few months- never used. Comes with hardware. Will need new paint as they were only spray painted - not powder coated. Located in Riverside, CA. $70 shipped in CONUS.

I've been keeping an eye on the Fleetwood/Coleman Element line of "off road" pop up campers, especially the Neon and Cobalt. They were (discontinued now) built sturdier and with more ground clearance. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
