Hey Scram, Thanks for the comments. The tongue is 53" from the tub to the receiver end. The LR Hitch trailer side is a model 520 and the vehicle side is a 501. LR trailer hitches do have a little rattle inside the receiver. I used the eye bolts to stabilize the hitch and corral the safety...

tonight's work.

That's a great idea! Thanks for the tip.

I grew up with "If you build it, they will come." Now, it's "if you order it, now you have to build it." Making parts fit, it's what we do! BTW: The tent is here, and the top is ready tomorrow...

Great ideas all. We are about to head out on our "RTT Shakedown" run. It's our first time in the RTT so we'll have a head start on the mods before we ever get out there.

Very nice work. The FJ's looking good too!

I was thinking about that yesterday. I will be adding those too.

Here it is. I took the roof skeleton to the sheet metal shop yesterday. It should be ready for pickup on Wednesday of next week. The Tepui Kukenam tent will be here on Tuesday according to FedEx Tracking. I still have to mount the tongue box, set the roof, build the roof rack, and set the...

So the axle and LR hitch came in and I got it all put together finally. It pulls like a champ. I'll post up some picks later.

The axle actually shipped today, so I ordered the lock and roll hitch. I'm really getting excited now. Thanks for the comments everyone. My goal is to have this thing on the road for our first trip by May. Still lots of work to do!

The axle is on the way. I've got the new 12x1.5 studs and the FJ lugs ready to go on upon arrival. Big changes coming soon. Next will be the top skin and RTT.

Got a call in to them..Thanks.

Thanks for the info Don. I called RNTS and they've got me hooked up so far. They're going to confirm the order with pricing and shipping and e-mail me back today.

I will, I'm just impatient and nervous about my plans going awry.

I need some help if y'all don't mind. I have an axle that I need to order, but I've been told it is not possible by the dealer. (trailerpartsdepot) They say the length is too short and the hubs won't fit the axle. The dimensions are as follows: Hub face to Hub face = 52" Brake flange = Yes...

yes, it's the stock suspension and I'll be using a max coupler type hitch. Nice kayak too. Mine will ride on the trailer too maybe. That's my son on the Etowah river.

the FJ has street tires on it for now. The trailer will use these Pirelli scorpion ATs. They are 265/70/17

You know I will. I decided to get mobile prior to skinning the top so the fab shop could see the whole picture, not just the lid its self. I'll fit the axle and the max coupler next, then the lid.

I finally secured some matching wheels for the trailer. Now we can concentrate on getting mobile.

Thanks for the information on the book. I just ordered a copy for myself. Great work on the trailer too!
