I checked up on the plug before leaving to work today and man that thing is really solid on there. It may take some work to get the stupid plug out haha. And the tap is a great idea thanks I hadn't even thought about that.

I was looking into what you said and i think a nipple plug would work great. What you said kinda scared me and im still a noob with this overland stuff so i'll take your word on it lol. One thing i was wondering though was the JB weld that i used said it's good for use on multiple surfaces which...

Man this was an awesome update. thank you for sharing. It looks amazing when it's all popped out and set up. On a side note i wanted to thank you for your feedback a few months ago on the use of pop-rivets! It was so easy to use and after putting some silicone on the joints it is fully...

I got some pretty good progress in today with the on board shower system. I found some wire grommets in my tool boxes from when i installed power windows into my truck and they just so happened to be the perfect size for the the vinyl tubing to pass through into the front compartment. Hole...

Man its been a while since I've worked on the trailer.. but if you follow my instagram page you will see what I've done before it's posted on here. Yesterday I spent the entire morning thinking up of ways to make custom shock mounts for the trailer project and I finally figured it out. I cut off...

Finally after over a month of putting the trailer project on hold i'm back at it again. I busted my driver side birfield on my 89 4runner during this past year's Tierra Del Sol offroad event in March. Spent alot of time and money repairing, upgrading, rebuilding the knuckles/seals and beefing up...

I got a ton of stuff accomplished this weekend. i started off by making the frames to the doors. I actually didnt do that portion since my sense of math and angles arent the best. So my dad did those for me. once that was done i went ahead and cut out the 16 gauge aluminum sheet metal to size to...

My SuperBrightLEDs trailer lights came in today. And as usual they did not disappoint. The quality in this thing looks great. I'm very satisfied. Close up of the 3 leds on the bottom side for license plate illumination. 3 screw mounting surface on the rear side. Nice thick wires! So much...

Lol they have a bunch of homeless people getting stuff from point A to point B. Lol Well my stuff always arrives very early because I live in California too; near Los angeles. And so coming from where their shop is at it usually never takes longer then 3 days.

Today my Dad and I heat up the side rails of the roof to the rear box with an acetylene torch then smacked it all back into place with a 2×4 and sledge hammer. We then confirmed it was straight with a long right angle level. It looks great. That was a nice save considering the droop or bow it...

Dang talk about quick. i just ordered these on sunday and they arrived today! Gotta love trail-gear!

Once i get these compartments made i'll finally be able to get around to installing the fun meticulous stuff I still have a large to-do list: 1)Weld on some Tie downs onto the tray that holds the water tank. This way i can strap it down and keep it secured onto the tray. 2) Weld gussets onto...

Since i couldn't get anything done today i went ahead and began researching trailer lights. Originally i was set on buying either the 2"x6" oval lights or the 4" circle lights. in Red, Amber, and clear for backing up. But considering the size of those lights i figured it was going to take up a...

Alright guys i have some updates for you all. First off let me show off my tow vehicle. Every month a few of my buddies host a local "Jeep meet" but they welcome all vehicles. Usually a couple of our toyota friends and me come crash the party and show the Jeepers how the Toyota guys do it. We...

The way i see if the hard plastic tires will sink into the floor easier vs the wider and thicker tires that use inner tubes. just my wierd logic i guess. i know most of the time it is going to be attached to my truck but still. i figure the rubber one is better. That's an awesome idea. Ive seen...

Dang what a great trailer build. I enjoyed it a heck of alot better realding up on the details here on his thread than seeing the tiny pix on instagram. Thank you for sharing.

That's why I was saying I may not keep this one. I bought it at Harbor freight. And i believe it was the tallest one for this. But I don't think I'm going to keep it. I'd like to buy one with the rubber inflatable tire already included. Because with this I'm just making more unnecessary work for...

Wooo! i see progress for this weekend. I just came home from buying a 4'x10' 16guage aluminum sheet metal for the walls of this trailer. I cant wait to start working on it some more. Ive had such good momentum on this project lately i would hate to stop now. lol

Got the front storage compartment floor welded on and permanently welded onto the trailer frame now. Lately even with having the trailer covered, I've been having trouble keeping oxidation away so I went ahead and primed the whole front half of the frame to keep the surface rust off as well as...

Heck yea! im looking forward to seeing you make this stuff. I really hope you post alot of description of how you did the alternator charging system with the trailer differential. That was one of the ideas i had for my trailer. but i just couldnt figure out how i could charge it with a tire or...
