I'm betting your factory rims are a four on 4" bolt pattern, and you're looking to put some 5 on 4.5" rims on there. 1. You need a wider axle, and a more HD one. A 3500lb axle isn't much more expensive than a 2000lb axle. 2. To mount Jeep factory alloy rims with a small center hole, you...

I just take the spout off and use a funnel.

I use a Coleman two burner propane stove. The one lb cylinders are easy to stash/squirrel away, easy to find, and seem to last a long time. My fingers don't smell like Coleman fuel, and I don't have to pump it up. It always works, and with the side wings even when it is windy I can cook...

I already had the tentcot and trailer. There's not anywhere to put the folded tentcot in a Jeep TJ (they take up a lot of space) and not enough space inside the trailer for it. It weighs a lot less than a full-on RTT. I think it looks cool (looks like a RTT up there). It works well. Think...

I read all 36 pages. Impressed folks tried to post intelligent arguments for-and-against. Smart people on this portal. If I've got my wife and daughter with me, of course I'm carrying (and my wife's probably carrying too). Even if it is just an afternoon hike in the woods at a park. And...

Thank-you for the extensive write-up about the Roll-A-Cots Nanabijou. I'm sold; they'll be my next cot if I ever need to buy one (the 32" wide one of course). My current cots are oversized Army-type cots. And like you mentioned we appreciate the height as we do put luggage and such underneath...

That's a lot of money for a cot, but somebody will buy it. I can't justify the cost, but there are some things I buy that leave folks scratching their heads. I bought a rifle for about $500 (Rossi 44 Mag 1892-clone lever action stainless steel with 16" barrel) and then spent another $500 for...

You're welcome. I'm running one of their 3500lb axles with the electric brakes on the little trailer I put together. We recently took it on a 10,000 mile trip (TX to MT to Inuvik Canada to Seattle and back to Ft Hood, TX) with zero axle issues. I also bought a spare hub with greased bearings...

I will try and answer your question. It sounds like you're looking for a WWII-ish type trailer. In addition to the trailers you mentioned, check out Manley trailers. I don't have one, but seems like I've read good reviews on them in the past. http://manleyorv.com/ Or with a little bit of...

Most any trailer place should be able to order you an axle. Now would be the time to get it the width you want based on the wheels and tires you're planning on using. And if you're wanting to get electric brakes, now's the time to do that too. Go with a 3500lb axle and you'll never have to...

As previously mentioned, a trailer is a great addition (especially with a cooler tray up front). I like to be comfortable when camping, so comfortable chairs and bedding is a requirement for me. There's a difference between camping and roughing it. There's also only so much space in the back...

Trailer is based off a HF-type 4' trailer. I extended the tongue about a foot, put a 2" receiver up front (tongue is 49" long from the front of the tub to the opening of the front 2" receiver tube), a simple cooler tray up front (a narrowed 2" receiver cargo tray thing), and ran 2" angle iron...

Picked-up the trailer from the upholstery shop today. They made a cover for my PBRTT. Because of the way the legs attach to the tent-cot, you can't really make a cover that seals it (and covers the underside) like a regular RTT. But I'm pleased with it. Bring on the adventures! My buddy and...

Quick question: 1/8 twist vs. 1/9 twist. Which is better (or when would one be better than the other)? Looks like I'm reviving another dying thread, but I'm considering an AR platform rifle.

Yes; my lil' trailer pictured in post #21 above (with electric brakes) is wired with a 7-pin harness (part numbers and links all in post #21 above). The trailer used to have the flat-four wiring harness, but when I added the electric brakes I rewired it with the 7-prong unit. And my 98 Jeep TJ...

I'm just trying to figure the advantage of the wireless module if you still have to wire your tow vehicle with a 7-pin harness, and with the wireless you don't have the ability to manually override the brake controller(?). Maybe you don't have to route wires through the firewall into the cab...

Looks like with this wireless module, your tow vehicle still needs to have a 7-prong wiring harness wired-up (I went to the link and looked at the install instructions). Quote: Your Prodigy RF Power Module has a molded Bargman® 7-Way cable that will plug into the tow vehicle. Refer to Wiring...

A P3 is a Tekonsha model P3. Check out the link below from etrailer; it has a very short video description of the P3 (7 minutes long), and it shows how to use the manual override lever. http://www.etrailer.com/Brake-Controller/Tekonsha/90195.html The P3 comes with a mounting bracket and...

At least with the P3, there's a lever you can manually work the electric brakes. And yes, we sometimes do adjust the brakes after it has been dialed-in.

Most campgrounds have "quiet hour" starting around 2200. That means turn your generators off (and be quiet; considerate of others). Along with being the rule, that's just common courtesy. Just because you can't hear it (the generator) while inside your trailer or motor home doesn't mean folks...
