Mission Overland trailer pro tip.
It might be a good idea to remove the decorative cap on the spare tire as the spare will not fit on the hub with it on.
It requires an allen wrench to remove.
I took a detour up to Pueblo Colorado picked up two new tires.
Some Cooper Evolution M/T
I prefer mud terrain on the trailer as if you do get into mud the tires will not fill with mud and then stop turning.
There were no options available for me to change hubs.
The tires that came with it were some Chinese tires apparently aren't very good because they went bald in less than 10,000 MI and then of course the trail damage which can happen but probably shouldn't have.
It's a shame for the amount of...
Got a cut side wall and a bunch of tree in between the bead and rim of the other tire while out on the Medano Pass .
Mission Overland was buying me new tires anyway. now should I buy a spare or should I take my chances and drive home without one?
My friend has a Tacoma which I believe is...

New Mexico and Colorado.
Heading over the Medano pass today.

The trailer sits so much better behind the Land Cruiser. The safety chains and wiring and tongue jacks are so much higher off the ground. Four inches did make a big difference. (That's what she said.)
Good thread.
I need to research the Truma heater in my trailer.
My wife and I had a week of cold nights when tent camping when I realized my Mr Heater buddy did not work over 6,00 feet.
Can't have that now with the Truma.
According to National Luna, the solenoid is rated to 90 degrees C which is 194 degrees F. I have no doubt it gets that hot under the hood.
