Just got back from the Rubicon Trail with my trailer. Huge success! Both the Cruiser and trailer did very well. The Cruiser had no problem pulling the trailer through the trail, only had to ride the clutch 1 or 2 times to pull it over something. The trailer tracked very nicely. Had to use the rear winch a couple times to pull the trailer off or around something in tight spots, but for the most part I just let it do it's own thing back there. Definitely a challenge in picking lines, many occasions had to sacrifice the Cruiser's line for the trailer's.

You might notice the trailer rack missing in some pictures, it couldn't take the beating with the rocks and tent weight. Ended up bolting it through the hood which worked great.

Ended up adding some "visual enhancements" to the trailer, but that was inevitable, gives it more character and story telling.

I am very happy with the way it performed, a huge sense of accomplishment. Wheeling now is more fun with the trailer than without. I will definitely do the Rubicon Trail again with the trailer.

Great pics!

Looks like the tailgate, err, front of the trailer needs a license plate. I can't think of what it should read, but if you did it, it should be printed backwards...:hhmm:
 
this is one of my favorite trailer builds on MUD...looks like it did great------great pic BTW
 
That trail is a cork-soaker, without a trailer. I hate it and would never take anything I care about on it. You are a brave person and I doff my hat to you.

Thanks all. It's a lot of fun.

I wouldn't have done it with the trailer if it was built for show and no go. Built it to use it, it is 100% Land Cruiser after all, just not a complete one :).

How do you like the RTT?

Love it! Very comfortable and so easy to setup. We left our sleeping bags and pillows and what not in there and still folded up really well. Fun to watch everyone else setting up ground tents. :popcorn:
 
wow, impressive.

will ck yr build thread for more details on camp-set up.
