I just came across the announcement of Vintage Adventurer completing a record cost to cost from NY to LA in 50 hrs. Not bad for a model A that just completed early this year a Peking to Paris Challenge! http://www.vintageadventurer.com.au/

I don't have any relation with FIAT or Chrysler group, but I would like to share that FIAT is not just "a style brand". In fact they developed and introduced to the market innovative technology for diesel engine (common rail) and they continue to do so...

All parts are off from the M416 trailer I am working on, when I swapped to a new axle with the wheel pattern of my tow vehicle. - 1 original M416 axle in working condition (I towed the trailer up to 70 mph with this axle and the wheels below with no vibration) $50.00 - 2 original wheels with...

Well, I place an order for a 2001-2003 Toyota Tacoma Base Stepside/Flareside Short tonneau at the lowest advertise cost. Unfortunately the vendor advised, after the purchase of course, that since it will ship from the manufacture they will not suggest an ETD. I am not in a hurry so hopefully it...

Mt. Rainier Pritchnakoff: I sent a pm with few questions and most important your time on this is greatly appreciated.

If your dimensions are correct, than I am not sure the trailer model that I have since the bed interior is measuring 49 1/8 x 72. The closest dimension for a pick up bed that I found is a Tacoma 01-03 Stepside 49.6 x 73 inches. The downside is not too many aftermarket covers for it.

As already mentioned the additional information that may be valuable before making a commitment are: - cut off date - models included in the offer - delivery availability for the model included in the offer Your time on the offer coordination it is greatly appreciated . Thanks, E

I previously used a tarp; but either the material that I used was too thin or I didn't tension it enough, it showed some damaged after a few hundreds mile trip to the point of not preventing water to the inside of the bed. That is why the roll on type tonneau started to get high consideration...

Excellent work on your trailer! If a tonneau cover with close dimensions to the M416 will be listed on the local Craig's list, it may be a good viable solution.

I will look into the Taco bed sizes. Thanks E

After few call to distributors and manufactures for outsourcing an off the shelf roll up soft vinyl tonneau cover for an M416 bed, I realized a lack of support from them as they always refer to the truck model and never to specific dimensions. So after searching the EP Forum without success, I...

Kit for lid Any update for offering a kit for the lid?

Just a little advise, at a minimum use twice as load rated straps than the load they are suppose to carry. In my little experience with testing textile structures, with your set up you may achieve straps failure at approximately half their load.
