    Sounds like a cool concept. As of right now my plan is to use the two existing 3x3 steel tubes as receivers slipping 2.5x2.5 square stock of the carrier inside of them and hitch pins to secure. I plan to have it pivot to allow access to the rear compartment of the truck. Loading and unloading...

    I still have some odds and ends to finish up but it's usable for weekend trips at least. I'm happy with the final weight of the truck, well under 10,000 pounds and that's with 42 gallons of water on board.

    Thank you I'll contact Earthcruiser. My Yokohamas are rated at 3700 a tire. I expect the rear axle weight after the build out and with the Klr on back to come in around 6000 or so, of course I'll get it weighted just to be safe. The npr has a gvw of 14,500 but I'm hoping to be around 10,000. I...
