Happy New SoCal Teardrop Owner

[VCCruzr]

I ordered this baby (Krawler 459) last August and finally picked it up last week. The build quality is second to none. I can't wait to take it out on the trail and post some action shots.

One side is a Military Fuel Can Carrier, the other is a spare tire holder.

Nice! How much does it weigh?

Specs list dry weight at 1250lbs. I picked it up in a 1/2 ton chevy truck and could barely tell it was behind me.

Yes, it fits in the garage, barely. the roof rack rubs the rubber trim on the garage opening as I pull it in/out.

The rims match, but not the truck, at least until I "liner" the trailer.

I got to see Dave & Yosh's SoCA TD at the end of their monster run from El Camino del Diablo to Oceano Dunes. Very nice workmanship, the interior is like quality furniture. I don't recall the details, but I think that their rack sat lower though it may have just been the way that it was mounted. Might be worth looking into?

I really like those Teardrops. Any pics of the suspension setup?

Sweet 80 BTW!

Thanks! Here's what the website for SoCal Teardrops says, "Equipped with heavy duty Old Man Emu leaf springs, sprung under a 3500 lb axle with 10" electric brakes and 9-way adjustable Rancho RS9000XL shocks."

And here are a few pics of the suspension:
