Nothing really, the recent thread that sgthawk started has me thinking about it lately. I replaced the axle with a custom length 3500lb axle, and I added wooden sideboards and a plywood floor to make it useable. And then I parked it for a few years, basically. The whole project kind of stalled...

Hahaha, copy away, I'm honored by the compliment about my welding. Honestly it was my first big project so I was learning to weld as I went! I'm looking forward to following along with this, you'll have to keep posting about your adventures using the trailer.

Here's my thread just for reference: https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/henry-spen-restomod-adventure-trailer-build.99765/

When I rebuilt the frame, I changed the tongue to a receiver hitch tube, so I could switch it to a ball, pintle, max coupler, etc. I really like the flexibility it provides

I have one of those too, I rebuilt the frame with custom c-channel (3/16", vs. the original 8th inch), and started on the sheet metal before I got stalled. I put white oak sideboards and bolted on the fenders and called it a day.... I really need to finish it up! Yours looks great!

Why dont you just get one of the cheap ones they sell as a sound device for boaters? It's an aerosol type can with a screw on megaphone nozzle. Should last forever til you need it.

I'm disappointed at the people who say that the defender can't be made to look like a defender because of safety ratings, blah blah blah. Nobody looks at a jeep wrangler and says, "hmmm, is that the new Kia?" But that's exactly what LR has done, even when the camo comes off. Jeep doesn't sell...

I may be wrong, but I think the xp camper has a sliding rear drawer just like the norweld, as well as the stairs. Food for thought.

Still my favorite build on here.... super excited about this update. Carry on, great pics!

If I remember correctly, theres only 5 or 6 left in existence. Very cool, but I'd be scared to death to actually use one!

Love that truck, and the patina is awesome, but there's also something to be said for a nice paint job. I think if you have the tools and skills to do the job, do it yourself, but if you have doubts I'd farm out the paint. Prep is the most important part! Are you thinking about building your...

I think you'd do well if you have your mountain bikes with you on the east coast. Theres some great trails that have already been mentioned, but I'll throw out a plug for Richmond as an area to ride. Pocahontas state park just south of Richmond has some of the best trails I've ever ridden on...

I'm following this thread excitedly, because I'd love to learn more about the different flatbed/ tray options out there. I love the look of the Patriot PCOR tray, but it seems ludicrous to spend $15k on one vs. $3k for an American flatbed. I'm curious as to what the big difference is between an...

That seems like a very fair price for a really nice truck. I wish I was in a position to buy, I would be interested. Of course, you're on the other side of the country from me too!

I'll be watching this one, love old iron!

Hi guys, are there any more updates on this camper? It's one of my favorites on here, and I'd love to see more of your adventures with classic iron.

Really nice rig! I don't know why, but I'm always shocked when someone is local to me. I'm right in Quinton. Good luck with the sale!

I wish they could make a lightweight one like that!

Subscribed. Hatteras and ocracoke are two of my favorite places to visit. I'm also a huge fan of Carova in the off season!

I'm subscribed, this is going to be great!
