What loads do you think will be imposed that makes you think the A frame is necessary? Have you ever been in a position where you were trying to turn around very tightly and when backing you hit the A frame with your vehicle long before you would have with a straight tongue? I see lots of...

The A frame design of the tongue is going to limit tight manuvering, if you determine than it is necessary with your materials than upgrade them and get a straight tongue. .125 wall tubing is overkill and unnecessary, go with thinner tubing. 60/40 is standard for axle positioning but that...

Never built a rack but have worked with similar material that was 1.5 inches square. I think by the time you get all the necessary fittings and hardware it will be very expensive. The extrusions themselves are very strong, the fittings not so much. I would recommend having the perimeter tig...

Its probably not worth the effort unless you are buying a new hitch or have taken yours off but I drilled a 1/2 inch diameter hole in the side of the receiver and welded a nut over the hole. I tighten a bolt and no movement or rattling.

Bravo to the OP the world would be a better place if there were more like you. I thought the ARB 20,000 were made in Aus but could not find that info on their website.

Brakes are shockingly better than they were 10 years ago. I am amazed at my Crosstreks ability to stop a trailer without brakes at max rated trailer towing weight. If I upgrade my axle I will put brakes on it but it does fine without brakes. Off road going on steep downhills on wet muddy...

An open desert in sand will be very different than in the deep woods, then there is the size and style of the tent

I measured and my cutdown bars are 26 inches wide. Still very happy with the modification. I rode my old 26 the other day and the 24 inch bars on it felt really weird lol.

Since you don't yet have a trailer if buying custom you could get the axle pushed back about a foot which would compensate for the weight hanging off the rear of the trailer if you go that way. I built a hitch that incorporates a bike rack on the back of my vehicle that works very well and...

Why F3, was the F4 too powerful?

I am not really a Rover fan but if I had time for another project I would be all over that.

You should make this your sig line so it will show up whenever you post.

WOW I probably would have just climbed over it but I admire your work ethic. How long did it take?

You must not be in the USA. Being favored by Carp fisherman would be about the worst incentives one could mention here lol.

After decades with a 26 I recently made the move to a 29. Loved everything except the long handlebars. I cut an inch and a quarter off of each side and am very happy with the results.

To me that trailer in the picture looks to have a torsion axle, no flipping those. If it is leaf spring if cambered and/or dropped you would need to weld new perches on top.

Why did you reply to me twice, days apart with the covered wagon line, are you on drugs or something?

If you just want something to stand on then 1.25 diameter steel tubing in a U shape welded to trailer frame would be about the simplest thing to fabricate.

No, by your "logic" everyone who doesn't follow your advice and think the same as you is wrong even if we are not having any issues with our current system. Covered wagons pulled by livestock didn't even have pneumatic tires during their heyday. I wouldn't argue that tubeless are not...
