    Just building my 200 Series.

    I added an Dobinsons rear bumper. This is a well designed bumper. Swing out locks to hold the bumper in place and the tire is down low to keep rear window visibility. I'm thinking of moving the MaxTrax from the roof to the rear tire.

    I had the hitch changed out for a lunette ring. Now I have much better trailer articulation off road. If need be , I can unbolt the receiver and bolt on the ball hitch. I also added 12 inches to the tongue length so I can make U turns without hitting the trailer and open up the bumper swing outs.

    As soon as I get the Land Cruiser out of the shop, I'll be taking the trailer on a couple of ranch roads and see what happens.

    The main door. My pop top also does not sit flush to the roof. Mark says it is not supposed to seal but that does not make sense as the canvas would fill up with dust. I don't think the trailer was built with heavy dust in mind like encountered in the Southwest.
