    ARB Simpson III on a longbed Silverado?

    We just recently purchased an Ironman4x4 RTT with the annex room and awning. We're going to mount it to the Thule Xsporter rack. The Thule rack we've had for over six years, and it's a good medium-duty rack that we use for mainly for carrying ladders and various kayaks and canoes. We've also...

    Just purchased a Military trailer to build a family hauler

    Try IronMan4x4.com or Camel4x4.com for their RTTs. They are having a special on the tent and annex now, and shipping out of their US warehouse in NJ may not be that bad for you. Several of us here in the South bought them, and we've had very favorable reviews thus far. The price with shipping...

    M416 Wheels

    If anyone out there in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, or Tennesse is upgrading their "stock" M416 wheels and tires to a different rim and tire size, please save your old wheels. I'm looking for a good spare rim and tire for our M416 trailer. Thanks!

    Which RTT should I choose?

    Several buddies and I recently purchased RTTs from IronMan4x4 (www.ironman4x4.com or www.camel4x4.com) and give them excellent reviews. Our tents have the same dimensions of the ARB and Cascadia models, but they come with more for less money. The Ironman4x4 RTT includes an annex room which has...

    Slooooow 40 build

    KC Cruiser: Tell us about the functionality and fit of the rear seat. We have kids too and are thinking about putting in a forward-facing rear seat until they get a little older and grow a bit. How is the fit and how much leg or foot room do you have near the rear heater? Can a normal-sized...

    If you couldn't own an FJ?

    Several years ago we bought an FJ40. 'Love it, but it's not a modern vehicle in terms of electronic ignition, power seats, windows, etc. and overdrive gearing. Having said that, I prefer it vastly over the Jeep Wranglers and FJ Cruisers, although those are good vehicles. We also have a...

    DIY tent heater

    Safety should always be a first priority, and I don't want to try to talk others into doing something they're not comfortable doing. The "Buddy" heaters you mention are "OK", but I would rather have one larger propane tank instead of having to deal with the smaller bottles. I wonder if you...

    DIY tent heater

    We're building a roof top tent setup on an M416 trailer, similar to this one, and I plan to use a propane heater on the floor/bottom of the "annex" room part of the tent. I'll obviously open some of the upper tent windows, but it should be quite warm as heat rises.

    DIY tent heater

    Hey Java: You're over thinking it. For over 22 years, we've been trout fishing and tent camping in the north Georgia and Tennessee mountains from mid February to mid April. Many times I remember fishing with snow on the banks. (After mid April, the trout fishing is not that good) I say this...

    'JUST GOT AN M416 AND I NEED A SPARE

    I just learned that the M151 Jeep tires are the same as on the M416 trailer, but I would like to confirm the lug pattern of 5 - 4.5". Some of the M151 Jeep tires I'm seeing are 5 - 5.5" on the lug pattern. The wheels are 4.5" x 16 and the tires are 7"x16"'s.

    'JUST GOT AN M416 AND I NEED A SPARE

    We just got an M416 trailer, and I'm looking for the best source(s) for a spare. Where can I get a tire and rim to match the ones already on the the trailer? Also, has anyone ever stored their trailer spare under the trailer using some type of hoist setup like the spares that are stored...

    Post favorite pics of your rig and trailer

    'Way to go! Practicality wins hands down all of the time. We just got an M416 trailer in good shape, and the Queen bought me an Ironman4x4 roof top tent and awning, and I'm looking at all of the different setups for ideas to put something together. The table with the folding legs is great!
