XterraNation.org had a good gen1 section as well. Indeed dennismc is right, the gen1 uses torsion bars, it's the gen2 that uses a coil spring suspension setup up front. A 50" lightbar would be good large for a gen1, you'd need a 42" A body lift is actually pretty cheap and easy. Before you...

Dual battery is pretty easy, but depends on the batteries. Here's a (old) pic I have on hand of my setup. We cut down the old plate and put in a new one that was the length of the two batteries, with a spot for the tie down. They fit in tight, but fit in well. I ended up replacing them in the...

Thanks! I didn't even know there was a kit. The clutch bypass is really easy; I just tap into the wire before the clutch switch, ran that wire to my own button, and that goes to ground. I like the revolvers, but I had issues with them coming loose over time. They've been good since I've been...

Over 8 years old, but still in very good shape. It's a Titan Winch RTT

I'm running a 2" as well for the moment, and will get an off-road/max coupler style coupler eventually, but as of now, the 2" ball does actually a surprising job

Was anxious to leave camp, so I didn't switch back to the straight hitch, but it's nice to see it with some stuff on the front.

Time flies! With the Run 1000 Rally at the end of June, I only had one weeken left to work on the trailer before American LeMans @ Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. With that, I needed to pump out as much work on the trailer as I could, so I didn't really take the time to take pictures during the...

I was wondering if anyone had made anything to secure their RTT in the open position. I've had my RTT for over 8 years now and I've never had this problem before. I've been through many high wind storms and watched tents and shelters get torn apart while I sat in my RTT all comfy and with a mild...

I spent some time last week installed some LED strips in the awning. I decided I don't want to fuss with lights and flashlights as little as possible. I had also ordered some lights to do underneath the truck and trailer. And on the weekend, I worked on installing the water tank...

With the support only primed, and already showing signs of wanting to rust, and since I wanted to install the awning asap, I decided, while I had time during an extended lunch, so run out, get some paint and run home and give it a few quick coats. Unfortunately in the rush, I picked up while as...

Well things went wrong and then fixed over the last few days. I went back up Wednesday to finish up putting the top of the trailer by drilling access holes and widening between the mounts to fit in the actuator head, but one of the welded inserts decided it didn't want to thread, so I decided to...

Hello everyone! . I'm a long time lurker on this section, but I've spend the last few years in the trailers section. I honestly haven't really felt like it was a fit to post the build here since it's not really a vehicle I was doing an expedition build, but I guess it could fit the bill with...

I never had issues with it wanting to tip, but you do need to make sure the legs are solid. I only have a jack-stand holding the rear at the moment until I get my legs installed, but without the legs, the one issue was the suspension movement from side-to-side. With the ladder on the ground, it...

I tried to get some work done this weekend, but with some of the work, caused some extra small challenges, and I wasn't able to get it assembled Suanday night and have to leave it behind. Part of the issue was my friend who helped me have the idea to weld in the inserts that went to mount the...

I cut off a male end and chopped it off so that it fits inside with the cover closed. It helps keep stuff out before it even gets in. I need to put in some dielectric grease, but I have a tube somewhere and can't find it, so I keep forgetting to pick up a new tube

I got a straight tongue done on mine. I was told it's less stable. I don't have much trailer experience to compare, but it's just fine with all the towing I've done with it on the highway; a lot of Quebec-Ontario. I also measured to have the tongue long enough to that the trailer will be able to...

RTI ramp testing the trailer

Thanks! Yesterday evening there was the first Flex & BBQ of the season, so I decided to give the trailer a try and see how it performed!

Well some more good progress. I was away on a military exercise for 3 weeks and left the trailer with a local fab shop to do some work on it and finally got her back. Unfortunately it cost me a lot more then I was expecting, but what can you do. I wish I would of done it myself to save the...

Wow, love the design! I like seeing new and unique designs.
