Thanks. I can't wait to get out and use it again. I'm currently healing from a cornea transplant so it might be a while.

My local Big-O-Tire has been trying to read codes. They even hooked up the computer and test drove it to see what was going on during regular driving. They reported that the front brakes were less consistent than the rears, but really found nothing. Kurt will there be codes if the ABS light...

Thanks for the concern. I hope we can figure out what is happening.

The sensors in the front were changed out. There was no difference. They believe that it is happening less frequently, but it is still happening. It is very strange, because under hard braking it does not seem to happen, but going slow in a parking lot and riding the brakes, or in slow city...

No the fuses have not been removed. I thought it might be a good idea to pull the fuse just to reset the system.

They replaced the brake fluid to no avail, and have read online that sensors can go bad and not throw codes. They just send the wrong info. So a new sensor has been ordered. Cross your fingers for me.

The ABS light is not coming on. Electronically everything checks out good. There are no codes. The sensor tested as functional. They reset something to do with a wheel angle. This morning they tried a new caliper. On the test drive we used the brakes a lot before it started acting up again...

I am having a very weird issue with my ABS and was wondering if anyone out there has had this issue. last month we went to Alaska. Just before we left to come home the front end of my '05 Tundra started making noise. I got it into a place in Fairbanks called Alyeska Tire. It was easy to...

Thanks for the comments. The spigot is actually one of my best mods.

Finally there were a few last things that I needed to do. I have not decided what to do with the inside of the tub. Our things do get some rash from rubbing on the floor of the trailer, so I found a great foam pad in the exercise department at Wal-Mart. It is textured like diamond plate...

For seven years we have been using this trailer for all kinds of duties. When camping we have just covered it with a tarp and a cargo net. However, when the trail is dusty or it rains things get dirty and wet. We knew for Alaska that we wanted a lid. Being on a budget, I built my simple lid...

I also went to town on the outside of the tub with a wire wheel. I could not afford a good paint job, so I stuck with rattle can primer and flat sand tan from the Krylon camo line. The paint job is a five foot job at best. In the pictures the fenders are not yet painted. I assembled it for...

I really wanted to have some steps / platforms in front and behind the fender flares, but I was feeling the pinch of time and money. I wanted to have the trailer rolling for our Easter trip to Canyonlands. I was buying some metal at the local store and explained about the steps and my...

To lengthen the tongue, I followed the build by dieselcruiserhead a member here on the portal. A big thanks goes out to Dre for his build. I have been waiting for years to copy what he did. we removed the tongue from the trailer, and then added a tube up front to create a new cross member...

Now this gets me caught up to this year. We decided to go to Alaska and knowing that we would need more room for gear than just our '05 Tundra, my wife and I decided to invest a little money in the trailer to make it easier to use. It was easy to see behind our Cherokee, but impossible to see...

I exceeded the number of pics per post, so here are the last ones of the tailgate.

We used the trailer like this a long time. We took it to Glacier NP, Teton NP, Yellowstone NP, Great Basin NP, Canyonlands NP, and all over southeastern Utah. The only thing I did to it along the way was change out its worn out non-directional tires for some cheap used tires. A few years...

I use my trailer a lot. It is great for hauling dirt, gravel, wood, and running to the dump. I am always trying to slow the rust. Some day maybe it will be sand blasted and painted correctly. Here are shots of me cleaning off rust, priming and then I replaced the hinges on the tailgate. I...

You can see by the pictures that it had quite a bit of rust on it. This was surface rust that came from using it during the winter and getting road salt on it. During this time I was camping monthly with my scouts. I was busy figuring out how to take all of these boys and their bikes and gear...
