    Bruiser the Adventure Cargo Trailer

    Mine is still in work as well but here are some pictures from how far it is as of Sept. I haven't had much time since to work on it and the weather hasn't helped either. Regardless I was able to use it for archery season with my buddy. We use a way too large wall tent stove to heat it. First...

    Bruiser the Adventure Cargo Trailer

    Since you only have the small rear door for people access and no ramp door for toy like cargo, are you planning on taking any toys? If so, how? A dirt bike would fit but you could also just put a hitch on the rear with a dirt bike rack. Also, I would expect the metal interior walls to be cold...

    Papillon 3 Swiss Camper on Euro-Toyota pickup

    Was in Moab this past weekend and saw a unique older hard side camper on an older Toyota pickup (no bed). It had the words Papillon 3 and it had Swiss markings and plates on it. Very cool set up. Unfortunately I did not get a pic of it before I left. Anyone know anything about these? Thanks Dave

    235 80 17 tire feedback on a JK?

    Problem with this argument is you cannot take a Load Range C tire to 60 psi. They are limited to 50 psi max whereas a Load Range E tire can go up to 80 psi where it can carry more load. So the LR E tire is designed to carry more pressure and therefore more load

    Does anyone make a trailer with 37's?

    I'll second that! I'm currently in the middle of doing just that. I'm matching my trailer track width, tire size and wheel bolt pattern with my truck and my buddies truck since he also pulls my trailer when we hunt. Unfortunately he has a late model Ford F250 Powerstroke which has a different...

    Looking for a GIANT trailer tongue box made of Alum

    I've been looking too for a large tongue box but it doesn't matter if it's diamond plate or not so long as it's really wide and tall. Here's what I've found so far. Not quite 60 wide but pretty wide... Also Jobox and Delta Pro make up to 48" wide tongue boxes but they are pricey...

    SilicaRich's Overland TJ Rubicon Build

    I don't know of anyone who modifies their vehicle(s) in the name of "investment". We all do it to get it to the level we want to make us happy. There is no poor decision if you are happy with it after you've spent x dollars on it. When my TJ 4.0L cracked a piston skirt off into my oil pan, I...

    My DIY solution to the UEV 440

    Just found your thread while searching for anyone who had opinions on the McHitch Uniglide. Ended up reading the entire thread. Nice design and fab skills. I am interested in getting the McHitch also but I couldn't really see what you did to the Reese adapter to attach it. Can you post some or...

    Torn between travel trailer, popup or folding

    Over the last 23 years, I went from tents, to a 12' pop-up that expanded into 24', to a 16' enclosed cargo trailer to carry my toys with me, to a pull behind 25' toy hauler. After modifying the suspension by flipping the axles under the springs, I've taken the 25' toy hauler places that would...

    put my big boy pants on, a Neeeew camper build.. suggestions on insulation

    Insulation Best insulation per inch is polyurethane isocyanurate aka PIR or polyiso. Home Depot sells a brand called ThermaSheath R-Max 3. Comes with a foil face on both sides. It's pretty reasonable in price but probably more than XPS.

    Timberline Trailers.

    Not sure what you think an off road trailer is supposed to look like but everyone has an opinion. Regardless, this design has been successfully used longer than you have been alive and as noted above, settled the western US when "roads" didn't exist and people moved their entire families west...

    4" drop axle question

    In case you don't know what camber is, it is a built in arch that when loaded starts to flatten out. If the axle is flipped and there is an arch, the arch will get much worse instead of flattening out and your tires will wear quickly on the inside. Just use a long straight piece of metal or a...

    Timberline Trailers.

    I came across one of these two years ago while hunting archery elk at 10,700 ft. My hunting buddy who spoke spanish talked to the sheep herder who was inside and he gave us a tour of it. The wood stove takes up hardly any space and he told us he had been using the camper non-stop for 16 months...

    Elmo's New Toy Hauler Build

    How far off the ground is the body with your setup? Do you worry about the rear receiver bars sticking out the side slightly getting caught on something? How do you use your rear jacks with that? E.g. does the jack have an adapter that slides into it welded on? Thanks, David
