Took a little trip to the Pacific Northwest earlier this month. 1st time out with the trailer so we crashed at a state park for a couple of nights before going into Tillamook National forest.

This looks great! and showed me what I want out of my wheel. you guys are great!

For science

yes! and it works great! especially if you are converting to having an iPad/ iPhone as your main source of music or maps anyways.

it connects right to it. it basically replaces your radio. so you have to get a couple of connectors for the wiring, but it's less invasive and uses the same setup.

We have installed a couple of these in Land cruisers, they have Tablet charging so we can mount up an iPad, then this takes the place of a traditional head unit and runs everything on the tablet. Works great for Maps, music, and everything else you want to run, plus you can take your Ipad with...

My utility trailer has one jack and wheel, it does come in handy, but I think I will weld a jack mount on the tongue so that I can move just one jack to the front for that purpose. thanks for the input guys! they remove with just a pin, so welding a single cup to the tongue will be quick and easy.

So I am thinking of making some sort of storage solution or use it for a jockey wheel, if not I will use the plasma cutter 😎😎. So half the slide out will be storage the other half is kitchen. once I get it painted with the ,Kevlar bedliner we use at Tenacity Overlanding, then I will put that...

More progress

Welded the frame and supports, then the “cups” for the stabilization jacks, so I can remove them. Then started doing the uprights.

1st post here So after camping last season with my wife, 2 kids and my 2 dogs. I decided that we might need a trailer. Over the last year I have been planning and drawing it out. I took lot of examples from big companies, and started building my own! So here is my my take on a turtle back. The...
