Will get some pics of my trailer at some point. Maybe even with a build thread. In the meantime, could you post a pic of your trailer tongue jack? Or make and model? It looks like you kept the original landing gear jack as well as the newer wheeled jack. Any idea why there is only one rear...

Nice setup. Very helpful diagram. Why no fuse before the blue sea panel? How would your diagram change to add solar? Any thoughts on a charging relay (blue sea acr) to prevent discharging vehicle battery when not driving, or do you just plan to unplug the trailer when camped? And, since I'm...

My m416 is built with c channel for the frame. I thought the timbrens needed 2" square tube to attach to?

Nice trailer. Just picked up a similar one off of craigslist. Paid too much, but it is exactly what I was going for. Mine has all of the interior storage compartments in it, which means two days removing a couple hundred rivets for me. So you have the original axle? And what are surge breaks...

Echo5 RTT Does anybody know what kind of rtt this is? I like this setup much better than the standard rtt with annex room. This has an integrated annex room, but I can't find it for sale as a stand alone.

http://www.vintagemilitarytrucks.com/M-116A1_Hydraulic_Tool_Trailer.htm Any opinions on this as a platform to build on? I like all the storage and compartments, but not sure if is too big and heavy. Looks huge, especially once a tent is mounted on top. But it seems like it weighs only 810...

I've been going in circles the last few weeks researching trailer ideas. I need something that allows me to pack a few things and head out for a weekend (or longer) camping trip. I like the idea of an enclosed offroad trailer, but every time I narrow down what I like and what my wife and two...

Just got back from a 10 day trip to Utah. Arkpak performed, but not without a few issues. I did manage to get the Anderson plug to work before I left. The wiring (and my alternator) was fine. The arkpak, for whatever reason, can take a very long time to register a charge -- some of the...

With isolator switch on, I cannot run anything off of the arkpak (run my fridge while charging with the Anderson plug) correct? And can anybody confirm what the readout is when plugged into the Anderson plug? Does the lcd screen say discharge or charging? Thanks for the help.

Here's a little more information. I have the 30 amp fuse, relay and switch from the battery ran to the back of the truck where I have an anderson plug. From there, I have a 5 foot cable I made with anderson plugs on both ends. When switched on, I read 12 volts from the battery to the first...

I'm also having my own issues with the Anderson plug. I just finished wiring up my Anderson plug to go to the arkpak. When switched on, it reads 12 volts, like it should. However, when plugged into the arkpak it doesn't recognize it and does not switch to charge mode. It feels like it is...

I finally got around to trying mine out on a recent camping trip. Worked pretty great. A bit annoyed that the pump can't be shut off with the shower control -- the pump runs even if you have the shower handle off with no water coming out. Pretty easy to get the temperature that you want and...

Picked up an xrc8 and am going to be installing it in a couple more weeks. How did you mount the solenoid box -- do you have more pictures? The solenoid box seems pretty big to me. Did you disassemble it to put it into the 4x4 junction box you got for it? Any recommendations for grease for...

A few questions -- answers all in one spot Finally got around to messing with my ArkPak -- ordered it a month or so ago. When would you want to use the battery terminals on the side of the ArkPak? Just for jumping your vehicle? Those Anderson plugs -- any reason to use those? It seems the...

Hoping somebody can help with a basic wiring diagram. I have generic $9 heated seat cushions that I am trying to hardwire using a heated seat switch. Need to have it so that the switch is only on when the ignition is on. Need help with what wires go to what pins on the relay and switch...

Thats the reply I was looking for. Poorly worded question, thanks for the respnse.

Just wondering what the alternatives are to regearing that any of you have tried or researched. I am running 32" BFG KM2s right now, considering 33s later this year, and feel that I don't need to regear with the 4.0 manual transmission. However, 1st gear in 4low is awfully fast for some of the...

Planning on some electrical upgrades and redoing some of my current setup. Right now I have my cb turned on by a switch. The idea was it would save wear and tear on the unit by only having power when I am using it. I realize it can be installed with no switch, but is there any benefit to...

Seriously looking at this lift due to price point. Other option I am considering is a basic Icon lift with the expedition leaf springs. Most of the time my truck is a work truck and needs to haul around heavy stuff quite a lot. The factory springs suck and I'm looking to upgrade to...
