I started building out the wooden parts, sometimes I need to haul long pieces of steel so the area below the deck is open to slide them thru and there is room for 4x8 sheets above

Positive audience participation is always welcome ;) I tidied up the hitch today, mounted the jacks, ready for the beach I think all the welding is done, ready for plywood

I got the third canopy support roughed in, the other ones fold into the tub but this one is removeable in three pieces and mounts on the outside of the trolley. I was going to make a canopy out of one of those recycled billboard tarps but didn't want it to be black inside so it din't soak up any...

A few more pix

So, it's been a minute but I've been busy Propane tank mounts are done hardshell is mounted telescoping tent poles are in the making so many details

Sliding tent trolley deployed The supports are pinned on, pull the pin and they are removed. They can travel right in there btwn the spare tire and the back of the box. You've prolly been wondering about access to the tub, the front passenger side is really the only place. I'm going...

63 gallons of water weighs 500 lbs, that will hold the rear of your truck down in a windstorm For showers, we use a largish tin can with the top cut out and a dozen or so holes in the bottom. One of us holds the can up and pours hot water into it while the other showers. We can both shower in...

Thx for the comment We all live on city property, stop paying your property taxes (rent) and see how long before you're evicted. Planning and zoning departments (gentrification police) are in every locale so in many cases building something outside is restricted in one way or another up to...

Looks like ocd suits you, that's becoming a pretty sweet rig.

Yeah, that's in the plan. Since the hardshell is going to slide to the left it will expose the interior of the "tub" which will be the kitchen/standup space so I'm thinking a canopy of some sort covering it all. I got the sliding frame roughed in

Our cargo trailer conversion has a sink, and a porta potty, it's kind of a tiny house on wheels tho. The pop up trailer I'm working on now won't have a sink, just a water container and a bucket. We have an aquatainer (7 gallon?) that stays on the truck so we always have water available. It kinda...

My "tent" got here, it's kind of a beast. I can't really imagine being comfortable driving with it mounted on a normal roof rack. I think it will be sweet mounted on this little trailer tho The rear roller track is bolt on so with it and the lid and the spare tire removed I can use it...

Lol, I don't think it's a requirement to know what's happening, if it is then this project is already ******** A few weeks ago the city fathers sent me a couple of strongly worded letters indicating shock and disgust at my "yardkeeping" and since they are the true owners of my property I decided it...

So, the 6x12 that I built up a few years ago is still going strong but it is what it is which is 8ft wide and tall which keeps it out of tight places. Our situation now is little time off so a big trailer built for multi day trips is only sweet part of the time and driving down the road I have...

When I researched this issue, it appeared that the stock toyota wheels were both hub centric and lug centric meaning either. But I think all trailer axle hubs are lug centric, at least all three dexters that I have, so it becomes moot. I've used stock taco wheels for a long way with no issues...

Yeah, sae lug nuts won't fit toyota metric wheels and since it's a lug centric fit it needs to fit properly

dexter makes hubs with 6x5.5 toyota lug pattern but they come with sae lugs so you have to swap out the lugs for metric but the pattern is correct. If you do that you will also need a longer axle because the offset of toyota wheels is different than the common trailer wheels

So, that's a little confusing to me. Positive offset means that the wheel/tire is moved further in so more weight is carried by the inner/larger bearing. How does that become a problem? Any spacer moves the wheel/tire further out so more weight is carried by the smaller/outer bearing at the...

No, it's not a rock crawler. Trails are for bikes ;)
