no way, they're using pop rivets? Dang!!! I call the "swing bars" rafters since that's what a home has and it makes sense in my head! If it were me and I paid an arm and a leg for this thing, I'd improve this design. Keep the pop rivets there but install blind nuts or nutserts using the...

iKamper is truly an an innovative company and this is another example. I bought their ladder few years back they're the only ones who has a ladder rung that are comfortable on bare feet. This product sounds like a winner. I'm sure the Chinese will copy this design.

Goog job man. I went the same way with the RTT + 270 awning on four Thule cross bars. No need for a heavy rack that gets the entire space eaten up by a RTT.

I'm just amazed that someone feeds their dog two rotisserie chickens! Wowza..... That's all I got.

great thinking!!!

That's absolutely correct; a heavy tow rig makes for safe towing. If a friend borrows your trailer and they have a light weight vehicle, the brakes will be much needed. Adding brakes prolly helps with resale (guessing), and it's easy to do. It's a non brainer for me.

In my opinion, it doesn't matter what the legalities are. Each trailer should be equipped with trailer brakes. Period. A 2k trailer WILL influence the tow vehicle during emergency maneuvers or while going downhill on dirt/mud. Do your family and other families a favor and get trailer brakes.

Bummer dude, sorry to hear about the rear hatch issue. That rear spoiler thing is a murder on the 270deg awnings. That pic showing the contact with the upper tailgate is quite huge. I have a 80 series Landcruiser and dealt with this as well by making up DIY mounting brackets. GLWS.

"modern synthetics" is also a loosely used term. Chinese modern synthetic is probably crap compared to USA modern synthetic. So, yeah, having an extra layer of U.V. protection for the cheap stuff that we run would be a wise move. I'm running the cheap chinese modern syn on the 4runner ;)

My GF bought a Vevor diesel heater that I installed in her camper and I was impressed by the whole package. The actual quality of the heater remains to be seen after the camping season is over but the kit included everything plus a little extra. A decent bang for the buck. This has been my...

I feel ya brother, I feel ya. Just yesterday I was using the same HF light to light up the area I was welding, under the vehicle. It gets the light just where I need it and able to see it through the auto darkening helmet.

One idea i might suggest is to purchase a hyd hose liner that's long enough to cover the outermost layer of your rope on the winch drum. That'll keep the U.V. from damaging the rope.

Let's see, one vehicle has a D shackle at the end of a steel cable. The other one has some kind of a fandangle alum thing at the end of syn cable. The steel line+ D shackle is probably going on 20 years. The syn cable + Factor 55 thing is less than five years old, and it was a gift. I...

now, THIS is a trailer worth the asking price. Very well built with decent springs.

ditto, these things are awesome, especially when they go on sale over the holidays. Great as a stocking stuffer.

Traction boards are the rage these days. One of these days I might jump on that bandwagon, but for now, it's four aggressive snow chains when I go snow wheeling. I just avoid mud altogether, if at all possible :unsure: . But if clay mud is a possibility where I'm going to wheel, I'll throw...

I'm late to the party but like the poster above mentioned, old fashioned headlamp always gets my vote. Heck, my headlamps get more use under my vehicles than in campouts. I have some of the above mentioned magnetic things but the headlamps are my go to. Every car has one attached to the...

It's a wonder I'm still alive from using D shackles for the better part of last 30 years :oops:

Immensely helpful, thank you sir.

Is this some sort of a plug and play update of the control panel? May I have the external dimensions please? National Luna provides this information in metric without being specific as to which one is the width, and which one is the height. Out of the three numbers stay posted, I can guess...
