A couple pf reasons. One its already going to be 5'6" wide inside, most of its bed so wider than a queen bed. On the road side rear is a short couch/seat, curb side is the pantry and "power" wall which is going to have cubbys for storage. The pantry and power wall come inside for 9 inches or so...

A few more pics. This was test fitting and final trimming of the wall lengths. Side walls, rear wall, 1/2 the bed platform, and the front lower panel are all cut to size. Tomorrow they get the edges routed to form the overlap for gluing and support. The front lower wall, and bed platform all...

Okay, I found out maryland mva is 6 to 8 weeks out for vin plates for homemade trailers so now I am moving on to the assembly phase. I have made and attached the wheel wells, bending .120 thick al diamond plate is a night mare. I had to curf the back and anneal it. Axle went on saturday as well...

NO, roll on bed liner on wood fails very quickly. Basically the wood checks and cracks, and makes a mess to fix. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/raptor-liner-on-wood-sides-trailer-not-holding-up-how-can-i-fix-it.202829/

They are home same way as sawtooth ultimate

oh its flat pack now, once it goes together the only way to get it apart would be destructive.

Well sorta I am missing a few small panels that should be able to out of window and door cut outs, and the lifting roof panel to make. But I have a flat pack 12x5.5x5.5 teardrop kit sitting on my shelf. I am doing the first of two bed platforms tonight, then I am out of foam which I am picking...

nope with out a ground they will do nothing.

Okay new axle in hand, everything looks exactly per my order. so case closed. I do hope bend trailers cleans up their issues, and I mean that for their employees sake.

I bought it for 150.

John where did I say I paid to ship it back. They offered to let me pay 150 extra and keep the axle on top of the new correct axle. I got a replacement axle that was correct, and in less than a week and a half. Then they offered to let me pay 150 to keep the wrong axle. So I got a correct...

In my mind the real benefit of a true independent suspension is dealing with slow rolling over large obstacles where you may be having one wheel way down, and one way up. But to truely be worth it the springs and shock need to be set up perfectly for the weight. And it really helps to have a...

Read above they offered to let me keep it for 150 bucks. I know that means instead of paying 150 to ship it back, they got to make 150 from it. But it means i paid 150 for spare hubs, brakes bearing for spares or I can build a really heavy duty trailer with a 150 buck axle.

new update, I got a call for the delivery of the new axle, its coming monday. So from order confirmed by dexter to delivered 8 days. I guess reaching out to dexter did something I did not need but appreciate. also I got a call from bend trailers, they offered to sell me the wrong speced axle...

I know calvert county well I used to do a lot of work down there. Is the spread due to not being bolted to a truck bed, if so put a little pressure on it with say a rachet strap and take another click everyday. Dont rush the squeeze but work it slowly.

I see how the spring setup works. I dont see anything that controls axle location. That system might work well with a 4 link setup, or an unsprung trailing arm.

I dont want to edit the thread above incase some one has read it and misses info. With a toyota rim, figure add 15 inches min ( i did 16 ) to the frame width and it should work. Thats with 31 10.5 r 15 tires.

okay pic time. As you can see the swing arm thing is a 1/4 from the rim, this is with a 15 inch rim. I would assume a 16 or larger rim this would not be an issue. remember My hub facing is 68 and frame is 52. Thats 8 inches from the hub face to the frame. there is about 3.5 inches from the...

I went thru the same thing. go look at my axle thread title i got my axle its wrong. The first wrong axle was ordered thru bend trailers, they sent it to redneck trailers. I dont know if redneck deals direct with with customers but you might want to look them up. Then they went thru tex trail...
