Can anyone recommend a GOOD 4 way trailer connector that I can use with round cable? I have 4c14 SOOW cable already run on the trailer and I just need to find a flat 4 way connector to use with it... the problem I'm running into is that all 4 way connectors I find are molded onto those silly...

So my 2002 E350 needs a bit of a lift in the rear. Looking to gain 1" or so over where it sits now. I'm not sure if the springs I have are sagged and if a stock replacement set would suffice, or if I need something beefier... I currently have 4 leafs per pack, and they are almost perfectly...

I currently have 35x12.5R17's on my Jeep and I'd really like something skinnier.... like in the 10.5 range. I'm not eager to change rim sizes mainly because I just bought these ones last fall and my wife still thinks it was unnecessary :) Been looking for a 35x10.5 or a 36x10.5 but all I can...

I'm heading out to look at a 2000 gtrv e-150 2wd tomorrow evening. Just wondering if there's anything in particular I should look for on it? The end goal is lifted and locked on 35's with a ujor conversion. I already have a 7.3 Quigley e350 SD on 285's and I love it... BUT it needs a lot of...

Looking to get my E350 EB repainted due to some flaking paint and very minor surface rust forming around the wheel wells.. I want to repaint the whole van and then do bedliner on the highwear areas (roof and gutters, and lower quarter panels/wheel wells) and the quotes in my area range from...

Van is a quigley'd 2002 Ford E350SD with the 7.3td and auto transmission. I want to replace all the fluids in it for some peace of mind and being a new owner to this van, I'm not sure what to use for everything. I know I could flip through the manual, but I also know that sometimes vehicles...

UPDATE: The thread title is a bit misleading because I no longer am looking at buying a 4wd van... I've already purchased one! Haha But I'll keep posting updates here to keep it all contained in one thread rather than starting a new one. I think it's kinda neat to go back and read what our...

I've been looking at trying to find a vehicle that will suit my family... Myself and my wife have always travelled in my XJ with our RTT but now we have two infants and the desire is to be able to jump in our vehicle and hit the road any weekend of the year. (RTT+babies in -30C weather isn't...

I've had my Simpson III for a few years now and its seen a lot of use across north America. I've noticed lately that the seam sealing tape has started to pull off of the fabric in a couple places. What product should I use to glue it back down? Or am I better off peeling off the old tape and...

I currently drive a 98 Jeep XJ and while its setup perfectly for me and my wife, it seems to be a bit on the small side for us plus our two kids for extended trips. We are planning a pan-american trip in two years time so I want something we can travel in for extended periods. I have a small off...

I am planning a new trailer build... Lightweight, bare bones flat deck utility trailer with independent suspension on airbags/shocks. I was given a piece of UHMW that is 2" thick and I was wondering if it would be a suitable material to make my bushings out of. Suspension design is going to...

I know AT uses the Firestone 6781 bags on their trailers and that seems to be the common response but I really doubt I will need that much load capacity. The spindles I'm using are 1250lb each. This trailer will be 4'x6 flat deck (not enclosed or even walls, just for hauling random everyday...

I have an ARB RTT set onto my trailer... I tow it most of the summer and lived out of it for 38 days straight last summer. I love my setup but every fall I pack it all up and park it in the garage until spring rolls around (which can be a LOOONG time here in Alberta). I do lots of winter...

So this is my quick write-up on the trailer I built this summer. This forum has been a huge insight for me and pointed me in the right direction time and time again so I figured I'd post up the final product. The goal: My wife and I were heading on a trip this fall from our home near...

Saw this Mog in Gardiner yesterday... so I had to park beside it and take a pic or two. Anyone know who it is or where I can find more info on it? Very clean build!

The grey travel cover on my ARB RTT has a small tear in it from when it was in storage... actually not so much a tear as an abrasion spot about 1" to 1.5" around. I would like to patch it but I don't know what to use... was thinking of this: SealLine Dry Bag Vinyl Repair Kit...

My wife and I have a retired service dog (narcotics and SAR) and he's been great so far and he loves coming on our trips with us. This summer though we would like to take him on a canoe trip with us in the Rockies. He loves to swim and is a great swimmer but has never been in a canoe with us. He...

I'm still in the planning stages of my trailer, but it will be similar to the BoxRocket posted up here.... it's primarily a camping trailer but it will see double duty for yardwork occasionally. Now I have a set of CJ springs I was going to use on it, but I've been cleaning up my garage to...

I was just reading the instructions for my Max Coupler and it says to use locktite on the nyloc nut. I was thinking though that for some added security, I'd like to drill the nut/bolt and either safety wire it in place or use a lynch pin or R-clip to secure it in place. As I see it, this nut...

Keep in mind that I'm way up here in Edmonton, Alberta... it gets hella cold in the winter and our roads get gravel'd/salted in the winter and we see a lot of rain in the spring and hot summers. Anyways, I am in the process of building a new trailer and I am at a crossroads on what to do for...
