    McCool's basic trailer build

    I'm getting around to starting the electrical system. We are headed out next week and I decided to buy a 12v fridge. I'm using two gc2 golf cart batteries run in series. This gives me 12v and 210ah. I built a tray to house the batteries in the tongue box and keep them secure. Between the...

    Samsung galaxy lite 7" 8gb

    Does anyone use this tablet for offline navigation? Is the 8gb enough? Does anyone know if it has a true built in GPS reciever? Here's a link to it https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Tablet-White-SM-T113NDWAXAR/dp/B01AZ7LT20?ref_=mw_olp_product_details Thanks

    McCool's basic trailer build

    Yes, that's exactly right. 3 slits per "knee", 12 total slits per fender. Allowed me to open the bottom up about 3 inches and then rewelded. Took all of 30 minutes instead of a full day sectioning the fenders in a traditional manner. Thanks!

    Here's a preview of the paint, just a few more things to touch up and I can reassemble it.

    McCool's basic trailer build

    I finally have an update after a busy few weeks. The trip was a success. I have about 2000 miles on the trailer and I'm happy with its performance. I took it up to my old employer who sand blasted it for me and I put a coat of zinc primer on the body. Hopefully I can finish up the paint in the...

    Monstaliner instead of carpet

    I think I'll order a roll of the dynamat and see how I like it. I can attest to the quality of monstaliner, short of a spray on line-x I think monstaliner is the best available.

    Monstaliner instead of carpet

    That dynadeck looks impressive. How well will It form to the contours of the floor?

    Monstaliner instead of carpet

    Well lame... thanks for your input though. Guess I'll just clean the 10 pounds of sand out of the carpet and stick with it.

    Monstaliner instead of carpet

    I'm considering pulling my carpet and monstalining the floor in my Tahoe. How will this effect road noise? I monstalined my jeep interior but the jeep was so loud it's hard to tell how much was from the monstaliner.

    EXD 350 - EarthCruiser on flat bed

    I'm curious as well. You folks saying it will be 6 figures, is that including the truck? Regardless, it looks great and I respect that you're posting the prototype here for everyone to see and offer input.

    McCool's basic trailer build

    Here are a few pics from our trip. 50 miles of beach driving plus 600 to get down here. Camping was a nightmare, more mosquitos than I've ever seen and 3000% humidity. Trailer is working great, though my tailgate lock/latch wasn't up to the challenge. Using a ratchet strap until we get home and...

    Looking for advice on a 4x6 off road trailer build to pull behind and Jeep Wrangler

    High density polyethylene. Basically cutting board material I believe. I can't remember who now but someone on here built a really cool trailer using it for their sides.

    Looking for advice on a 4x6 off road trailer build to pull behind and Jeep Wrangler

    What kind of wrangler? Either way you need to be very cognizent of the weight. I learned from experience it's easy to make it heavy. While redeth built a very nice trailer, I would wager that it's well over the tow capacity of a wrangler. Edit: I made my frame out of 2.5" square tubing 1/8"...

    Troubling issue with 05 tahoe

    I don't think the condescending attitude is necessary friend. I never said I expected to fly up it in 2wd, but I did expect the tires to break loose If it wasn't going to make it. Ok, forget the Rubicon. My 7000# tundra climbed steep hills in 2wd without feeling anemic.

    Troubling issue with 05 tahoe

    I looked briefly when I bought the tahoe, they are tough to find. I believe they stopped making them here in 2005? On cars.com there is currently 1 within 500 miles of me. I know the Tahoe is not an offroad superstar but aside from this one incident it has worked well for us.
