I love the trailer, for what it is...A baseline with tons of room for your own creativity. Out of the box I would replace the tongue jack. I would not even attempt to winch the trailer through some nasties (or dry pavement for that matter) with the stock tongue jack. Look at ARK. I got the...

While some may provide feedback on specific things, I would say not taking the time to read a single thread, would be a mistake. JMHO Tongue weight is an issue with this trailer, but one easily dealt with by planning for it and loading properly. Loading the tongue box with batteries and...

Perfect! Thanks for the response. Will plan to move the fenders up, I figured I would have to so thanks for the confirmation. Great idea on the plastic edging. I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the response

NICE Set-up! I see you added some extensions on the fenders for coverage (along with mudflaps). Can you elaborate on that a bit? I like your solution rather than welding extensions on the inside of the fenders. Also, appears you are running 37" tires? I am running 37's on spacers (My Jeep...

Awesome write up! Thanks for sharing. Just ordered a bunch of stuff on Amazon!

TerraFlex. They appear to be easily removable.

OK, Good feedback. I guess I will do the right thing, pull the springs and cycle the suspension to mock it up.. I'm thinking add in some fender width and raise them a couple / 3 inches. If I dont, I will second guess myself forever anyway....

Fenders & 37" tires - Hi all. Wondering if anybody has experience with the scout on rough terrain with 37" tires? Any major rubbing or need to re position fenders? I run 5x5.5 set-up on the Jeep due to some aftermarket upgrades (not stock bolt pattern). I run 37x13.5 Toyo MT's on 17" x 9.5"...

I have the Clayton Long Arm kit. I cant say enough about it. Amazing ride in the rough stuff. I would not go to 37's wihout upgrading to a 44 on the front. I ended up with a PR44 Unlimited after messing up a few Dana 30's (heavily reinforced and upgraded). No issues since stepping up to the...

I am running 5x5.5 Wheels (Ram 1500) on my Jeep and also on the Trailer to accommodate a single spare wheel & tire. I used simple adapter spacers. I had used them on rigs before with no issues if locktite and proper torque applied (Assuming quality spacers).

If anybody is in the market on Cyber Monday, both 4WP and Northridge will sell the XL tent, annex and shipping for under $1200. 4 hours left........

Smittybilt XL Tent is $880 with free shipping @ 4WP until midnight for Cyber Monday. Grabbing one with the Annex now delivered to my door for $1,178. Cant pass up the deal. Prolly going to grab the protection plan for $110

Thanks for the video. I understand the dangers associated with these batteries. Seeing this video was an education for sure, and honestly makes me feel a little less nervous about them. I now know what a Tesla Battery "Explosion"looks like and it was honestly less violent than I had...

Thanks, I think I've got it now. I was originally planning to go with a Victron Solar Charge controller. So I'll decide which one based on the HIT panels and verify with you guys. I have learned a TON from this thread. A long way to go, but would like to be in a position to take advantage of...

Thanks. Makes sense. Starting to get my head around it...

Understood and Thanks on Grid tie controllers. Yes, the Panasonic panels are sold without them. I did not really take the time to understand the product, just looked quickly at some marketing info. I just assumed the panels were at some funky high voltage that a charge controller (like a...

OK, I understand this....Thanks for the info. 2 questions - Can I run the Panasonic HIT panels directly to my Solar Charge Controller without the "Optimizer"? The advertised efficiency of these units are attractive. Since the Samlex 2224 has the ability to wire your solar charge controller...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll take your advice here.

Dreadlocks - I have been intrigued by the Panasonic HIT panels and am trying to understand the benefits / costs. I see that I can get (2) 330w panels with the MPPT optimizer (transformer) for about $800. Does the use of these panels with the optimizers eliminate the need for a dedicated...

OK, Spent some time looking at the Inverter / Charger options. Any of the inverter Chargers that fall into a lower price point have significantly lower charging capabilities. Makes sense. Now, Samlex makes 2 units that I would consider, the EVO 2224 and the EVO 4024. Both are the same size...
