This one’s for you - https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/1974-ish-apache-eagle-off-road-build.214247/#post-2765558

With a successful trip in the trailer on the books, it was time for a little more work. The Eagle went back under the knife to get a little more prepared for our trip to Mexico over Christmas. Lacking good documentation through this part again... I had planned to paint the Eagle the same color...

After I was comfortable with the old floor’s position, I used the shape to build a new floor. After seeing how the old floor disintegrated, I knew I wanted something a little more robust. The floor ended up being 3/4” ply (same as original) laminated to 18G galvanized sheet metal on the bottom...

Anyone know how to rotate the images uploaded from a phone?

It was then that I learned that I don’t know how to measure well and the utility trailer would need some modification. I had a friend that knows how to weld come over to help me build a simple subframe on the Eagle’s chassis so I could easily U bolt the Eagle to the utility trailer. For...

I got both trailers into the garage to figure how the Eagle was going to mate with the utility trailer. I took apart most of the Eagle and junked the particle board furniture inside. I also found out that after 45 years of love, the plywood floor of had almost totally disintegrated behind the...

This thread will document the build and maybe some adventures of what I think is a 1974 Apache Eagle tent trailer. My wife and I are avid campers. We prefer the simplicity of sleeping on a platform under a topper in the back of our truck. Before the the platform/topper, we tent camped. With the...

No, but no better time than a pandemic, right? I’ll try to get one going...

Most topper companies offer a reinforced option for all of their shells that bumps the max weight to ~500lbs. I had to specifically ask the distributor to ask the manufacturer about it, because they were clueless. At the time, with SnugTop, I think it was called the Sportman’s or Outdoorman’s...

What about tapping threads into the hole? What is that tank made of?

That guy seems like a normal fellow who adds useful gear and gets his car dirty. Why call him out here?

I prefer ski box box to ski rack in order to keep the road grime out of the binders, edges, and bases, especially when spending that much time on the road getting to the skiing. It pulls double duty in the summer as a dry place to put lightweight gear - sleeping stuff and camp chairs for us.

To further complicate things - I would pay for the NFs in Utah if they were made available in Avenza.

Check out Bulletproof Off Road Adapters and give them a call. I dropped this name in a similar thread the other day - I promise I’m not a shill! ? Just a satisfied customer.

Adapters can be had at <3/4” thick, does that provide any options?

Safety third!

I thought I got lucky when I found a trailer with Toyota bolt pattern hubs. It turns out that trailer wheels and truck wheels are so differently backspaced that I needed to get spacers to run wheels that match my truck in the end. Motorsport Tech / Bulletproof Off Road Adapters can do custom...

I got a similar one For my Viair at EVCO House of Hose (or whatever it is now). There are a few locations in the valley.
