I have Javacan envy...

The propane fire pit is the one that will eat propane tanks. We managed to burn through a 20 lb one over the course of a 3 day weekend when temps dropped into the 40's at night and in the am. Fire was on about 1/2 to 3/4 output , 7 hours the first night, probably 5 hours the second and an...

Thank you!

Great read, I was enjoying it this morning. Love to see how owners outfit/upgrade their trailers of all kinds, great to see everyone's ideas.

Bend it! Quick recap, in order to fit a hard cover to the bed of the trailer, I needed to fix a dent in the front edge of the trailer. Before: The initial plan was to beat it back into shape with a sledge, etc. This quickly proved to be futile, how futile I wouldn't know until later. So I...

+1 on all of the above!

Thanks! The body shop is my last resort, if I can't manage to fix it myself. I'm hoping to finally be able to tackle it this weekend, so we will see how it goes, stay tuned for an update!

I had to extend mine as well to clear the tailgate on the JK. I can't say enough good things about the Max Coupler, it's absolutely silent on and off road, I highly recommend it!

Looks like you have a good plan, looking forward to watching the build!

Great start!!

Interesting article indeed. So jealous of the all the cool 4x4 stuff they have down under!!! Damn!

Thanks for the update. It's possible that if mount an XO jack on the same side as yours it would lessen and issues with my tailgate/spare which on the JK, the spare hangs lower then the bottom edge of the tailgate. I'll have to do some experimenting and see.

One other thing to consider...ambient temperatures. If it's in the 90's or worse, there is no way a single battery is going to keep up for 5 days with no re-charging.

Report back on your findings if you make it out tomorrow! Feel better!

Use a socket slightly larger than the posts as a drift to seat the battery terminals securely but gently on the posts using a rubber mallet. Then attach these for your extra wiring. http://www.quadratec.com/products/17004_9003.htm

Look in "Power Systems" sub forum...tons and tons of info. Sears version of the Odyssey, the Diehard Platinums have been discontinued.

Love the XO jack but the mounting plate is so large I wouldn't be able to open the tailegate on my JK with the trailer attached. Also the way the bracket sticks down below the frame it's going to be the first thing to drag on the ground. I would have to really cut it down to size both top and...

You make a lot of good points. I like the idea of the bottle jack approach, just have to figure out how to brace it into position, but I'm sure with the right placement of 4 x 4's I could come up with something. And then sledge/ hammer/ etc combo to finish things up. Thanks for the input!

Question for the masses! So my long term plan on this trailer was to have some sort of hard cover for the bed. Now that I have the linear actuators it's so easy to raise and lower the rack with the RTT, I can actually have very good access to the bed in a heartbeat which opens the door for...

Nice, I used the same on my build, Adaptit was great to work with, I had left a spec off and they called and we got it straightened out.
