    LETS SEE YOUR TRAILERS!!!!

    The trailer tows way better than stock ever did. As for the TJ, it had a 999 and pulling the camper was a chore. I since swapped in an AW4 and it tows MUCH better.

    Show your leveling jacks

    Just thinking out loud, but why not make just the RTT adjustable? This could be accomplished by just drilling a series of holes on each leg of the platform. When you park the trailer, pull the pin and raise/lower to desired height, then re-install the pin. Get you some of those stick on levelers...

    Leaf springs

    I stole a few pics from my Facebook as I found it easier to post them from there surprisingly. This is the camper the day we brought it home. And this is the intended tow vehicle. And the next ones are of the modifications. The ride is definately better, but I still plan on adding...

    Leaf springs

    Is this a good option for the camper? There is a Northern right by my work. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200365446_200365446 I am guessing that two springs TOGETHER make the 2000lb limit...or does two of these make it 4000lb limit?

    Leaf springs

    No worry, the headache is from being 30 minutes away from finishing a 48 hour shift at the fire department. To answer some questions, yes, I have fab experience and already have a longer spring mount to replace the old one. The springs are eye/eye, but the shackles are already the longer ones...

    Leaf springs

    I was thinking the guy was more sales and less tech. So is it safe to say a 2000 lb 25" long spring will be a good option for me?

    Leaf springs

    I can next week. I hope to get back to work on it Monday. I am at the fire department today and Sunday. Tomorrow I have to haul butt home to swap a transmission by 11AM. Monday *should* be suspension day on my trailer. Just for explanation I bought an 8' box Starcraft pop up off Craigslist and...

    Best Wife in the World!!!

    Did you buy the one off the Nashville Craigslist? I saw that one when we were shopping but decided on an 8' box closer to home.

    Leaf springs

    The longer spring theory was what I thought too, but the guy I spoke with said otherwise. I think I may run the longer spring...too many people agree with us to not do it. When you went to the longer spring, did you gain ANY lift...and did it allow for more uptravel as well? Just trying to keep...

    Leaf springs

    I have a camper project going on and while I am working on the axle and suspension I noticed the leaves are pretty dang rusty and figured I would replace them while I was in there. Went to the local supply place and couldn't find the exact replacement. Called the supplier listed on the product...

    Fridge mount

    I have a used ARB FridgeFreeze that I obtained and I want a way to mount it in my rig. It says MT-30 on it and I am having a hard time identifying it through websites. Is anyone here familiar with this model and know of a mount, not slide, that will work with this fridge? I have looked at an...

    Thanks for chiming in Bob. This thread has confused me more than anything. I think the next outing I may just hang out and ask you questions. And I was wondering about all this SAR stuff. Maybe that happens out west since all the remarks about SAR were from people on that side, but it doesn't...

    MasterPull gift certificate

    I recieved a $75 gift certificate to MasterPull that I don't plan on using anytime soon. I would like to get $50 for it. Its a signed paper from them I got at a raffle and can be used by anyone. I can send it in an envelope to anyone that wants to buy it. If you have an order coming up this will...

    Keep in mind again, I have worked for years for this agency, I have the OK from Chief to access the channels they operate on if I happen upon an accident again, and I have the skills to help. If I accessed the channels for emergency traffic from an accident whould the FCC come after my license...

    I appreciate your detailed explanation on HAM, but maybe I didn't explain this part too well. I have been employed as a FFII/EMT-I for a larger fire department for going on 14 years now. We have over 300 employees and run about 25,000 calls a year. I also worked part time in Dahlonega and still...

    Gotcha. I live in a rural area with a department that I "help" every now and then. I bet I could hear them. My career department is in Metro Atlanta and we switched to a new system a few years ago, which they just called the "800 system". I don't know anything about radios now except how to push...
