M101CDN nearing completion

[ezzzzzzz]

The original build is here, http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/125719-M101CDN-build , I've completed the main topper and will fabricate the lift gate this weekend. Both sides open fully for easy access. While it appears top heavy the topper only weighs about 75 lbs at most. the RTT weighs 120 lbs. I was using a modified ladder rack that placed the RTT only 1" lower. The trailer tows great and doesn't lean much in corners. I attribute the lower CG to the heavier chassis and galvanized body.

Very cool topper!
I was thinking of doing something similar to my M101 for extra space (just not with a LR topper though)

Rear lift gate fabbed and installed. The only catch is you've got to watch your head if you're over 5'8" at the rear of which I am. Some neon orange paint or reflective tape will be added to remind me.

Amazing job on the trailer and topper.
I like the fit and finish you have done " it looks like a factory option"
Would you post a picture of it hitched to your tow vehicle please
I would like to see the combo together.

I'm comtenplating adding a spoiler that mounts to the rain gutter to deflect some air around and over the RTT using some type of Thule clamp. All 4 LRs are in states of rebuild. The tow vehicle is a 98 Suburban at this time. I'll post a photo this afternoon.
