    BrandFX Workpod Trailer Build

    We just got back from another camping trip- the second since I had the issue with the rubber spring twisting- and it looks like the spring is starting to twist again. Any guesses on what might be causing this? I may need to start a thread just about this.

    BrandFX Workpod Trailer Build

    We just got back from a trip to Bucks Lake. The weather was beautiful- I’m glad we were able to escape some of the heat we’re getting in Northern California. On our first night we got a visit from Yogi. Our food bins were in the bear box but the fridge stays in the trailer. Hopefully a bear...

    BrandFX Workpod Trailer Build

    Last weekend my son and I took a trip to Lindsey Lake. We got there on Thursday and there was only one other group. The trailer did great on the way there- I like the storage box I built at the front and the 200 watts of solar kept my Bluetti power station charged back up to 100% each afternoon...

    SOLD  80 Series F/R Locked Axles with 5.29s - $3,500 Tuolumne, CA

    I’m listing these for my dad. They’re a set of locked 80 series axles with 5.29 gears. My dad bought these a few years ago from a neighbor with plans to put them in his 80. The front axle has a cable actuator and selectable hubs. The rear axle has a factory selectable locker but it’s missing the...

    BrandFX Workpod Trailer Build

    Over the past few weeks I got the tail lights installed, the brakes hooked up, and some holes in the shell filled with epoxy. We camped the last two weekends. Two weeks ago we went to Silver and Caribou lakes up in NE California which was a 4 hour drive from home. This weekend we went to Union...

    BrandFX Workpod Trailer Build

    This was a big weekend- we got the shell bolted to the trailer, the axles setup, and I was able to tow it home, 100 miles, from my parents’ house. Now that I have the trailer at home I will be wrapping up the wiring and hook up the brakes before we take it camping in a couple weeks. On Sunday...

    BrandFX Workpod Trailer Build

    It was another busy week. We beefed up the rear cross member, painted the frame, mounted the sheet for the deck, mounted the suspension, and got the pod on the trailer. We’re going to have to enlarge the cutout at the back of the pod to fit around the rear receiver and then we’ll be able to...

    BrandFX Workpod Trailer Build

    Here’s the mocked up suspension. It’s ready to be bolted on after painting the frame. I thought I ended up with the narrow spindles but now I’m not sure. The stock sized 275/70R16s seem to fit ok.

    BrandFX Workpod Trailer Build

    8 hours of work transformed a few pieces of tubing into a frame. We spent about an hour laying everything out, checking to make sure it was square and level, and clamping everything together. My 68 year old dad did the welding using his ancient 220v Lincoln stick welder that he’s had longer...

    BrandFX Workpod Trailer Build

    The Ark hitch adds another 12” in length so I’m going to have 30” from the pivot point back to the triangulating supports. The rear bumper is 68” wide. I’m hoping the 6ish inches the ball sticks out behind the bumper will give me the clearance I need to jackknife the trailer without hitting...

    BrandFX Workpod Trailer Build

    A couple of years ago I purchased a BrandFX Workpod for $600. It was from a Ford Ranger with a 7’ bed and it seemed like a great starting point to build an off-road trailer. I was looking for an easy way to securely carry our camping gear since I was to the point where I couldn’t cram the two...

    Chuck box/camp kitchen

    Here’s my chuck box. I used the instructions from REI but I changed the dimensions a little so it’s the same size as my Engel fridge.

    How much does your rig weigh?

    I came in at 5998 with me and the normal load aboard.

    FZJ80 Import to NZ

    Sell it and buy a diesel once you get there. Petrol is expensive- you'd be better off with a more economical, and way cooler, diesel.

    Adventure Trailers sells water tanks and they do custom sizes but they are pretty pricey- http://store.adventuretrailers.com/water-systems/
