It'll be hard to find the thread here, but I've seen someone to a pivot/articulating rack for their RTT. I can't find the exact one I'm thinking of, but the concept would be similar to the first one here: http://tventuring.com/trailerforum/thread-83-post-11889.html#pid11889 Your trailer is...

mattsavage, that is so cool! Very nice truck and setup!

Just a quick pic. Got her rolling Saturday but added a temp wood floor Sunday morning as well as throw the tent on top for the 600km drive down. I need shorter metric bolts for the rack, the ones I had on hand Saturdya night were too long, but good enough for the trip..that's whyt he traps where...

Swap in a Supercharged VG33 or a make a VG34 to put in ;)

Wow, a few older rigs, and gotta love the Patrols! Yo, Avocado! I definitely giva ya props on the VG34! I'd love to do that one day! . Running a 2003 S/C MT Xterra and a 2001 Frontier converted into/for an expedition trailer. I don't have an update pic, the truck's been off the road since April...

How about using some stock or aftermarket control arms from a vehicle, and just making up the mounts? Less to warp?

Thanks! I've actually been watching your build too! I do tend to follow most trailer builds that involve lifting racks or truck beds ;) But you're is evolving well, keep it up!

And I ran out of time on these, but the weight on the rack will have no weight on the fiberglass top. I just need to get the tubes welded on, cut to length and the holes threaded to be able to bolt them down, and other then some paint they're good to go and the whole top and rack can be bolted...

Well having a few days off, I pumped out as much as I could between everything else I had to do. I'm missing about a day to get all the major fab work done so I can bring the trailer back with me to Ontario for the summer and work on the smaller stuff where I don't need to weld (as much). I...

Looks great with the matching wheels and matching two-tone paint!

My inserts are done, and they're perfect! I must thank my uncle so much for the help on this! Ya, the bolt needs to be shaved down a bit, but no biggie. I didn't have an actuator to test it, but we took the specs off the actuator's PDF which listed them all. Should be perfectly snug

Well I got a surprise noticed on Thursday saying that I'll be going to Kingston, ON on two back-to-back courses in from June 8th to September 3rd. Meaning that my summer for projects is scrap, and I miss out on a few events as well, but also, It means that I have 2 weeks to: - Swap the PS pump...

What were you planing to use as a stove?

Sanded down the sides ready to accept the angle bar. 3M Body Adhesive. I've heard great things about it as an alternative to welding, where the benefit is that you won't get the warping from the heat that you get with welding, which is exactly what I need this for, as well for later where...

As for the trailer, it's been progressing I'd like to say well, but there's always little unexpected challenges that arrise. Worked at removing a section of the floor that was rotten. And started to install the outter tubing for the lift system I look on Kijiji regularly for Xterra and...

Where did you pick up the water tank?

Even though it rotates, hows the up-down articulation on it?

Can't you flip it?

Friday I went out to pick up more steel. For the lower mounting point of the actuator, I was suppose to just weld in a piece of place inside of the outter tube. I had it ready to go but stopped there last weekend. After I got back to the garage, I got the idea to not weld it in, but make a type...

I was going to ask what you did to level out your trailer. I see you got a tailgate. The bed extender isn't a bad idea at all. Looks good!
