What is this?

[D'Animal]

Almost finished. I have to put the safety chains back on and wire the lights.

Next modification was the cargo area. I have a Roof Top Tent but really tired of beating it up on the trail while it was mounted on the roof.

I utilized the stake pockets so I could remove the carriage it I wanted to.

I added 3 rubber mounts on the cross bars. The rubber mounts will help support the middle and ends of the tent while bouncing down trails.

I wanted to be able to access the cargo so I pinned it on both sides. I can lift and tip from either side. Idea was inspired by Andre Dieselcruiserhead's while checking out his trailer build during cruise MOAB.

p.s......

check the tent for rattlers....


Looking good Dan...didn't know you were a camper!

I generally throw a sleeping bag on the ground or maybe use a tent and call it good.

When the wife and kids go, I have to take the RTT and other items they cannot live without.

did this ever get finished?

 

[D'Animal]

It is as finished as I need it. I stopped hauling firewood in it and use it for camping.

Towing?

I'm doing a few upgrades on the trailer. I was planning on swapping out the hubs for 6 lug so I can carry less spares. I found in my research that the hubs that are on here are considered "Ag" hubs, as in Agricultural use. The recommended maximum speed for the hubs is 30 mph. Hmmm

So my next thought is to replace the 1 1/2" square axle assy that is 51 1/2" wide with the AG hubs for a more common axle with the Toyota bolt pattern.

I guessed/figured that I could buy an axle assy and bolt it on. I cannot seem to find one. Looks like Dexter can custom make an axle.

Any ideas?

RandP trailers on ebay.
They make custom axles with a 6 bolt pattern.

Ordered an Axle assembly since it was $43 more than buying the parts to convert it.

New axle assy came in. Measurements are correct so the old one is out.
