Turtleback Trailer Build

[Luke111]

Looking at the "U" bolts that have threads sticking out from the nuts on the outside of the plate, I think you may want to make a different bracket and not have them sticking out... looks like shoulder or head height that will result in a cut or puncher wound to someone... not fun... bleeding on a trip is never fun.

Thanks, the plan is to cut them flush

That trailer looks great. Some great functionality and ideas in it as well.

Amazing job. Very cool trailer. I would love to own one someday.

You will absolutely love the trailer Luke! I like to call it the swiss army knife of adventure trailers.

Excellent build!

Getting it wrapped up .... Airtop mounted and I pickup a right side Foxwing ... I'm running a left side on my 80 and I also have an ARB awning mounted on the right side of the truck

Dave, of Turtleback had designed a mount for awnings that you manually push up and lock into place. I asked him to design a mount and use actuators..which lift the awning with a remote fob.. I originally did a Goggle search for them... in the end Dave ordered from his source...I'm not sure I answered the first part of your question. Below is a link to the video

Lots of cool features on that guy! To be honest what blew me away the most was the turtle tread decal across the forward box...pretty legit!

 

[Luke111]

I agree.. I love the turtle tread on the nose box
