Ha! Kidding of course, but it did make me smile. I gotta' represent this fine board as I roll down the trail. :D

So I have two marine batteries on my camping trailer. I recently installed (but haven't hooked up yet) a 2 bank battery charger. My questions are simple I hope... I will obviously hook up each battery seperately to the charger... one battery per bank. However, I was wondering if I connect the...

Howdy- I am tempted to try one of the Partner Stoves (2 burner, 18", with windscreens). I have searched around here a little, but for those running them I have a few questions. 1. Can you attach the gas line in more than one location? Is the gas connection selectable? For instance, if I want...

Hello friends- I have a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 that I am trying to install a rear fold and tumble in so my little ones can come play with me in the woods. I don't have a Jeep Wrangler (97-06) to measure and was wondering if I could get an accurate measurement of the width of the "bed"...

So I am entering into my second phase of building my trailer (see my sig for the link) and I am focusing on the interior of the trailer, mainly the kitchen and storage boxes. I have finally aquired two sets of heavy duty ball bearing slides that extend a full 47.25" and hold 100's of pounds...

Has anyone chopped one of their ladders up to make the rungs fit nicely at the distance your RTT is from the ground on your trailer. Just curious how you went about it. Cutting mine this weekend and would like to do it right the first time. AT, I thought I read something about you guys doing...

I know a lot of my amigo's over here don't get over into Mud so I thought I would post up a link of the 2nd fuse block install over here for anyone looking for a "how to" Here is the link, enjoy. I hope someone will find it useful. Thanks for all the help I receive on this board! :D:friday:

Hello- On our way to Cruise Moab in a few weeks I am hoping to swing through Arches National Park with the wife. Are there any must see things we shouldn't miss? Any nice hikes? We both enjoy scenery over technical routes. Something that won't take all day. Any opportunity for some off...

Hey fellas, I thought I would tap into your collective knowlege for some advice on shock placement on a solid axle trailer. Here is a pic of the chasis I am mounting these onto. What is the best orientation to get the shocks to perform well, and stay out of the rocks? Also, if I could not fab...

Hey guys, I searched but I am trying to get an answer to just one question in particular... I didn't do so hot in my Electromagnetism Physics in College. Here is my setup: 2 12v batteries An on board 2 bank charger My question is, how do I wire the batteries together to keep the voltage at...

Well, after a long day of tacking and welding in my sheet metal on my trailers front box, I am at a cross roads. I am trying to figure out if I should weld up my sheet metal, or rivet it onto the tube frame. Pro's of welding: 1.Faster than the riveting. 2. Cleaner look than the rivets, easier...

Howdy folks. I am at a crossroads... I am at the point of adding sheet metal to the frame I built up and I am trying to decide between steel and aluminum. Here are my thoughts on each. Care to chime in? I hope so :thumb: Aluminum: First, I like the idea of no rust on the aluminum panels, that...

My local Sams club has 12v Marine batteries from Energizer for 67 bucks, they state, 115 amp hours! :eek: Anyone used one? They have a three year replacement warranty and all. They do not appear to be sealed. Thanks!

I am looking at skinning my trailer with steel soon. I plan on spot welding the panels into place but I am curious as to what products to be looking at for sealing up all the edges? What are some comercial or industrial grade names of products? I am looking for the best stuff between price and...

Title says it all... almost. I am building a trailer for camping/expedition style usage. I was wondering what you would buy and put in a dedicated trailer. Here are a few of my thoughts: No starting power will be needed/used. I would like to power: A freezer fridge. 12v SHurflo pump. A few...

Since there is so many folks here that don't ever get over to mud, I thought I would cross post my trailer build and get the opinions of non-Land Cruiser owners. Enjoy! Here we GO! After nearly 9 months of planning, designing and gathering parts, I am ready to start my scratch built...

I have an 11# propane bottle that I am trying to figure out how to secure, searches left me looking for more. I want to hard mount this tank externally. I have looked at several RV mounts but none look that solid. What have you guys done/seen? Thanks for your time. Drew

Two questions here and I would love your opinions. 1. I have recently built a rear tire carrier that I love. However, as I look into hooking up a scratch built trailer my pintle hook will not open without hitting my rear tire carrier "bumper. Do you think that spacing the pintle out with a...

Howdy- I have been very excited to discover this site and realize that lots of folks like to the kind of exploring/wheeling that I like to do. I love to explore the back country here in Colorado and Utah with my wife in our 76 fj40 named Maude. I am going to be revamping her with another round...
