Add some slide-outs, ARB fridge, solar panels up top, and a titanium bottle opener attached to the side and jack the price up even more!

Obviously you were using the wrong RTT when attempting the PCT through-hike. You needed one of these Mormon trail carts.

And for those folks wanting to cross into Canada with firearms, you need to check out this link from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP): http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/form-formulaire/index-eng.htm#f5 And scroll down the link above (about 3/4 the way down) - you want form RCMP 5589...

You definitely have to post your trip if you take your Jeep and trailer on the TAT. That is one trip I've been wanting to do with my Jeep and trailer. And I think the solid axle option with some new springs would be your best bet.

I'm at about 1250lbs fully loaded, and I appreciate the brakes on the trailer. Especially pulling it with a Jeep TJ.

My buddy and I drove the Dempster last summer with a 98 Jeep GC pulling a little trailer I'd made. Beautiful drive. But as you said, your vehicle and trailer may take a little beating. No tire issues, but we didn't have mud flaps on the Jeep and it really sandblasted the trailer. It also...

Beautiful trailer build. Sometimes less-is-more.

I tow with a TJ; even though my trailer is small, I appreciate the electric brakes (especially the manual option). All things considered, they don't add that much weight.

You could possibly try some Surco Crossbars: http://www.surcoinc.com/Roof/Crossbars/Safari_Crossbars.html And their channel adapters: http://www.surcoinc.com/Roof/Mounting_Accessories/Channel_Adapters.html All this would run you around $175 or so (check Amazon for prices). I'm guessing the...

Axle flip. What kind of coupler are you using now?

Yup - it doesn't take much to reinforce these little HF trailers to make them so much better for off-road travel. I've got a piece of 2" angle iron bolted across the front of my front cross member as part of my cooler-tray stet-up. That and the aluminum diamond plate box really adds rigidity...

I would definitely carry a small readily accessible handgun if I was in a remote area like you're going. You never know what kind of two or four legged critters you're going to come across that don't have your best interests at heart. I've got an XDs 45 ACP for concealed; a 1911 for when I...

Another good reason to carry a can of bear spray per person when off the beaten path.

If all else fails, wire-in a stand-alone system (separate from whatever pre-wired system your vehicle may have). I've used this wiring set-up on three different vehicles with excellent results. https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/etrailer/ETBC7.html

This is the bear spray we carried up in Alaska and Canada: https://www.counterassault.com/product/10-2-oz-counter-assault-bear-deterrent-with-3-in-1-chest-holster/ Figure $42 for a 10.2 ounce can and holster from Amazon. If you go to their web site, it has some good info and videos on...

That worked the first time we went to Canada as I was living in WA at the time, but the second time we left from TX, and crossed on a Saturday. So all the banks up close to the border were closed. There was a place just on this side of the border though that would convert US to Canadian, but...

I just did this last summer (and a couple years ago). You need a Non-Resident Firearm Declaration Form (RCMP 5589). If you can't find it, send me a PM and I'll try and send you one as an attachment. But if you scroll down on the link below, you'll find it...

Looks cool. Options add up fast. Too bad they don't have a 4x6' version.
