I choose the LC. Got the LC premium package. I’ve had it a week and put 500 miles on it. Getting low 20’s MPG mixed driving. Lots of theoretical discussion early in this thread. Happy to answer questions if anyone has any. The engine will shut off at HWY speeds to conserve fuel if conditions are...

Maxtrax mounted. The pre-existing pattern did not offer a drill-less solution. 89cm is the distance between the pins lengthwise for reference. Used the Eezi-Awn k9 brackets. https://www.equipt1.com/products/k9-maxtrax-mount-set

Taking the trailer hunting this season. Just installed a safety flag to make my camp more visible. Figure I can’t be too cautious on public lands. Uses an air chuck like connector. Only have 6 of the 9’ in photo. I’ll see if ai want more once the tent is deployed.

picked up my Eezi-Awn shower skirt from Equipt during Cruiser Fest. Install was very easy but disappointed the door is on the right side. All the photos show it on the left. Access is tight but works. Would have been better at the front of the trailer. Three walls allow full access to the...

More a lack of traction in the sand. The photo does not do the creek bank justice on how steep/high it was. Both Cruisers are on 37’s mine is turbo’ed and the recovery truck has a LS conversion. Took 3 attempts to recovery leading up to full wide open throttle of both to get out. Wheeling with...

Pick a diesel truck you like then invest in a large recovery kit, avoid traveling solo over difficult terrain. I don’t tow anything that heavy but have a couple trailers that see offroad duties behind a LandCruiser. It’s way easier to get stuck and much harder to unstuck. Especially solo. You...

Today I completed my solar system install. I choose the following components to fit my needs. 200watt Renogy suitcase panel 20A Renogy River Elite MPPT controller 25ft 8AWG extension cord for panel BT-2 Renogy Bluetooth Module This should be enough power to run the trailer indefinitely...

Kass sent me a battery solution. Pretty simple and should do the trick. Aluminum pieces of angle with hardware and some little pads on the battery side. Installed them this evening for the weekend.

Portable fridge with built in battery. Charge it while driving on 12v plug and let it run overnight. I don’t have any personal experience with these but plug and play solution for overnight. https://www.acopower.com/pages/lion-pro

Bought my 80 in 2007 to wheel it and have not stopped nor will I. No reason to own it if I do. most recent trip two weeks ago.

No, but shifted a couple of inches. He is working on a solution. I suspect me submerging the trailer wheels numerous times with it connected to the truck contributed to the short but haven’t dug into it yet. A quick Google search recommends disconnecting the electrical on boat trailers at...

Just returned from my first wheeling trip with the Smuggler. It towed and tracked behind my 80 series wonderfully. The battery did move laterally and nearly grounded out on the hold down strap. So some additional brackets will be required. The emergency brake handle contacts my spare tire...

My 1Up is a double. Don’t ever plan to add more. My wife does not ride. Just my son and I. I think you’ll love the trailer. With a highlander you could always put bikes on the roof.
