I took the bearings, dust cover and races to a local trailer shop. They were indeed the 3500# trailer wheel bearings. Thank you for the help here.

Cleaned up the bearings again just to be sure and there aren't any additional markings. I will try to take them to a trailer shop today to see if they can help me match them up.

I didn't think I'd be able to clean it up any more. Hit it with a stainless brush on my drill for a few minutes and got it legible. Thank you for the nudge there. Dexter Fusion Inc 010-019-00 I assume that this kit will likely work: 3500 lb Trailer Bearing Kit – Dexter Compatible | Trailer...

Thanks, that will be my fall back plan if I can't get a specific part number. The bearings are pretty hammered and falling apart so I hope I'll be able to get accurate measurements if I it comes to that.

Hello, I am getting my bumpers, rack, and sliders re-powder coated. As we removed the Sean Huston rear bumper and disassembled it, we found that the bearings in the swing outs are toast. The bearings don't have any legible numbers on them for me to try to match them up. I searched the Forums...

I am interested, but in Utah. I will be visiting friends in mid May in Williamsburg. Are you open to getting it inspected by a mechanic on my behalf locally?

KSL wants to do a story on this. I PM'd you their contact information. I bet they'd be able to help set up a great unveil to surprise him.

The propane tank is mounted with a bracket like this one: http://www.pacificrvparts.com/Image/19174.jpg The bracket is welded directly to the frame and helps keep the large cooler in place. The cooler under the moving blanket just holds our drinks. Since we were in bear country we had to move...

Thank you! I look forward to more feedback as people take a look at it. This wasn't cheap to build so we'll be using it for a while no matter what, but it was no where near what an Adventure Trailer/Conqueror/etc. would cost, even used.

Looks great! I have been wanting to do something similar myself for a while and finally built the trailer here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/trailer-tech/407237-bug-out-camping-utility-trailer.html Not as refined as yours but I hope to use it quite a bit in the next few years.

I updated the blog post with a picture of the finished trailer. It is a little bigger in the post now, plus you can click it and see the full size picture. If you want any specific pictures let me know and I can post them or email then to you.

I'll see about changing the photo viewer we are using on the blog. The previous one allowed you to see the full size picture, but had some downsides. If I can get another one set up and installed I'll let you know. The sides of the trailer are IIRC 1 1/2 inch square tubing. The Rack is made...

I posted some info and pictures of the trailer I recently built on a blog I contribute to. The trailer is meant to help get me and my growing family (4 and counting) out camping more often. I also wanted to be able to use the trailer to haul stuff as needed by removing the RTT and rack...

I moved out of Kommiefornia 4 years ago after living there my entire life. At that time, all pre-73 vehicles were smog exempt. I haven't kept up on all the latest though so maybe that has changed. FWIW, I heard rumblings back then that the State Legislature was considering going to some...
