Mike, Happy to hear it!

Mike, Great example of an Dinoot Jeep Trailer! Love all the custom touches.

That's too far back to remember my first one ?

Thanks for sharing

Cool, remember the Amazon Crossing set from way back

Breathing some air back into this one ... Since my first car a ’67 convertible Mustang and someone in our neighborhood around the same time having a 4WD ’68 Mustang coupe, I have thought about building a four wheel drive Mustang on and off. So finally taking a step in that direction with...

Eddie, Sorry did notice your post before. For a 56" wide RTTs we set crossbars 36-42" apart. For 72" wide RTTs we go with 3 cross bars. On your Dinoot, I believe the original owner added some steel framework on the sides. If so, that could be used for repositioning the crossbars

Yes, pros and cons to both. After many years of Tent Topped camping, I'm working on some idea for maybe doing a sleep-in camper.

Haven't done any sleep-in, but built lots of plywood trailer boxes. My go to coating is Durabak roll-on bed liner. Adheres great to plywood. Have used it for many year with no problems. Here is a thread I wrote on another forum about a six year in the weather test I did on a Durabak Coated...

If it is a 3500 lb axle, can upgrade the 5 on 4.5 hubs to new 5 on 5 hubs. If you are running factory aluminum Jeep wheels, will have to run spacers because the center holes are too small for fitting over the axle hub.

I was thinking about something similar the other day after looking at a VW van pic with a RTT and slide back roof. On the canopy make a crawl thru hole with a removable cover. Then use a cover entry style roof top tent so the covered entry goes over the crawl thru hole when opened.

Reintroducing my Tracker (photobucket has blocked all my old pics), it is a 2000 with 2.0L 4cyl & 5spd. Has 2" lift and 235/15" tires. The diffs have been swapped with '96 Sport 5.12 units, for the better gearing and to get rid of the vacuum operated front diff / add manual hubs. Great rig...

Thanks for the kind words. Look forward to seeing how the No Weld Towers get installed.

Here is the Towers RedM101A2 was referring too.

Definitely a Fleetwood Neon, do a search, believe there are a couple of Neon builds on here
