Looks good, I see you have the required bottle opener on the back.

Within the first 30 minutes I was stuck in the sand (sorry no pictures). I didn't lower the air pressure in the tires, a learning experence. Our first camp site was on the point, alot of wind but the rig held up fine. The second camp site on the beach. Loading up on the ferry for the ride...

Here is a few pictures of my latest trip to Cape Lookout on the Outter Banks. Loading up on the ferry and riding to the island. The light house.

I used two 250 lbs gas struts, if you look at my build toward the end we had to fabricate a bracket to hold the struts. My top weighed in at 170 lbs without the RTT and rack on top. I have a tailgate on mine also, the issue I ran into was the struts were pushing the frame out of alignment, the...

Well first when it is all the way down there is over a foot for it to travel in order for it to come out, second it would have to all go up at the same time because if it doesn't it will wedge itself and third yes the weight of the whole thing keeps it down. We did discus if I need to travel...

My brother built a new license plate holder, the old one was just a quick fix to get it on. Plus it really bothered my brother. I got a new battery tender and installed it. I oredered a connector that I could plug the tender plug into (pic 1) and recieved one that you have to wire in (pic 2)...

Thanks for the nice comments Ken, with us it's been a learing experience. Learing from our mistakes and getting ideas from all the smart guys on this site. Speaking of a smart guy I got this idea from Travis (tdittyrocks), it's slightly different but close. Its a table that sits on the fender...

Well if you have been reading the thread after the camping trip a few weeks ago the weld cracked on the tailgate. It's fixed now and here are some of the pictures of the fix. We put tubing all the way around the tub. Prior to this I was noticing that the tub was getting farther out of square...

Here's a few pictures of the tailgate set up. the cables when not in use. tailgate open close up of the cables hooked to the tailgate

Good looking build, what did you do to the inside if anything? Also I'm detecting a slight bit of sarcasm in your thread. :)

Ken, the bumpers were put on for the tailgate but the hook on the back is where it hits first, my brother but a rubber piece of hose over the hook to protect the tailgate. That is just in case the tailgate falls so it will not damage it. We put cables on the tailgate, they have loops on the...

After almost six months and a lot of jumping through hoops my title came in the mail today. :wings:

So some of the bugs that I discovered in the trip was first I needed to raise the shovel in the back, it is almost hitting the top of the trailer. I raised the shovel raised about 3/4 of an inch, that problem solved. Another issue I found was the tongue jack, after putting in the battery...

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes I would have still extended the tongue because it allows you to put on a tongue box and I also put the storage area for water / fuel cans. There was no issues with connecting the receiver, I had a ball hitch on it and we switched it out for the max coupler...

This is from the last couple of days, I finaly got to try out the trailer at Lake Norman State Park. Eveyone was ready to go. Of course it rained most of the time but it was a good test run. One at night. Despite all the rain we still had a good time and had several people come by to check...

Just a couple of pictures of the wiring in the tongue box. I have three plugs in the box, the first one is a double hook up for a USB port and the other two is for a lighter adaptor. I also added an axe and shovel on the roof rack.

I bought it from Bass Pro Shop it's a Tepui Kukenam tent, I'm going to try it out for the first time tomorrow at a local park. It's suppose to rain so I will see how I like it, here is the link to it http://www.basspro.com/Tepui-Tents-Kukenam-Roof-Top-Tent/product/10230257/

I've added a battery and some outlets to the trailer. I'll post some pictures up of the wiring later this weekend. I also mounted an axe and shovel to the roof rack. I'm going to try it out on Monday, going to a local state park and work out the bugs. Getting ready for a bigger trip.

The tongue jack is from amazon (Curt Trailer MFG. 5000 - lb. Pipe Swivel Mount 15" Travel). The length of the jack closed is 22" total. I do remove the jack while towing the trailer, it folds up but it will hit the tongue box. We could have made it work but it was just easier to pull the pin...

It does take two people to lift the rack up and you have to lift it at the same time or it will jam up. It's really not that bad though. As far as leveling, the tent has to go up evenly so that means that if I want it level I have to level the trailer. As long as I'm level from side to side...
