Here's a cool cartoonish version of our setup that Box Rocket (Adam) made for us. Came out great.

Thinking about making shirts.

dude, that's a lot of gear! I know you are taking some expedition trips out to nowhere land, but man oh man do you have a lot to carry!

Well, time for an update.. here's how the trailer came out finished. It's really nice not having to listen to a flapping rainfly in the wind anymore.

Camp near Death Valley

A shot from our latest trip through Nevada. We're testing some new Fox prototype shocks for the 80 series, stay tuned

Another 80 and another SCTeardrop

Nice trailers, so how did the Buzzoff do on this trip, I have a Venturecraft Trailblazer trailer, but it is only my steping stone untill I convince the wife on the Teardrop! Seems to be easier to get in and more confort inside to sleep!

The "Buzz-Off" did awesome. It's 900 lbs dry. So it's about 500 lbs lighter. That's also because it doesn't have a kitchen. Think of it as the "Chaser" of the teardrops. The owner just jacknifed the 80 and cooked on the back tailgate with fridge and slides. Worked perfect. He slept in the RTT and his wife and daughter slept in the trailer nice and cozy. It handles the same as the larger version since they've worked on the leaf pack for the lighter weight. Both trailers come with Old Man Emu leafs and adjustable rancho's. We're working on Fox's for ours right now that SCT will offer up after we test them.
