I suspect...that while your battery could easily handle the load, the magnets and such in the electric brakes could not. They are not designed for a long continuous cycle. the break away is just that...get the trailer stopped in an emergency. I plan to get the brakes that have the park...

Armygreen, thanks ! That's what I was hoping to hear from someone. :)

What a sweet looking truck! Sorry for you to have to sell it but wish you the best with selling it.

You guys that are using Toyota wheels on your trailers, how are you doing it? I know you can get an axle with correct bolt pattern but do the Toyota wheels fit then? Seems I've read some are using spacers that are hub centric like the Toyota wheels. If I need to run a spacer, that will...

Oh...sorry. I didn't realize you are in Kansas! That would be a long drive for a trail run. When you come back out we can go!

D'oh! Someone pull that guys' Toyota card! ;) I can imagine it would be a bit difficult to do that trail in 2WD. We are going up to reddington this weekend for the Arizona oHv trail talk. I think he is running Chiva on Saturday and Sunday is Chimney Rock. It's open to all so maybe you should...

Pictures or it never happened!! ;)

Deathsquid...what is different with your trailer? Can you get an axle with no perches and put them where you want?

I'd like to find a good source too. My local supplier is expensive and not very helpful. There was a link I read on another thread (can't recall right now the name) but it looks like it is only a wholesale place. Not sure how to order from them. Looking forward to any info posted. :)

Beautiful! I'd really like to go here someday. I have family in NC and Virginia (Cumberland Gap area) and we used to go every year when I was a kid. Beautiful land indeed!

Im 43, 6'4" and 250. While it isn't exactly as easy as falling over a log to get in my RTT, it sure isn't a hindrance to me. Your 4 y.o. will love the RTT I'm sure. Mine does! I will say : be sure your ladder is assembled correctly. My bottom step on mine slipped after a few uses and it threw...

Great trip report! I thoroughly enjoyed it! I have wanted to go there for so long. Reading this renews my need to make it a priority. One question though. How much room is there for kids to roam? Or is it a "too dangerous" place to go with a 5 y.o.?

I feel for you. I try to take only what I need. With a wife and 4 year old and my FJ, its packed when we go camping! I cant imagine with multiple children and pets! I even use a RTT. A trailer would be nice but then its something else to store and deal with. Maybe I should just take one pair of...

No. But after looking at those pics, I'm so glad I wasn't able to go. Looks like you had a horrible time and bored out of your minds. *sniff* *sniff* Can you smell that? Smells like sarcasm! Or maybe a little envy? Either way...you old cuss' should have let some of us young kids come with...

Heehee! New car smell?? With 220,000 miles the new car smell is long gone. :( FWIW I'd love to have an older 4x4 like a scout. Maybe someday.

JC...maybe we should start an 80's Run! Everybody has to wear 80's hairstyles and drive an 80's truck. OK...maybe just the 80's truck. Ive got my 89 K2500! (And I'll get a wig if need be. )

Oh how I wish I had some "old iron"! Looking forward to the trip report and pics!

Very nice! I have only been to Oregon once and while there we did see some fantastic waterfalls! And of course crater lake. :) Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! Loved the video and song choices were perfect! I'm so envious! Not only do you get to be destination-less but you get to do it in a VW bus! Envious indeed!
