While what you are asking is 100% possible, finding a shop to work with you might not be easy. I think you will have a much easier time changing the trailer to a ball. My suspicion is that you hit the off-road limits of a Volvo (with respect to articulation) long before you find the limits of...

I doubt any business’s lawyers will let them answer your question even if there are some directionally correct answers (I.E. your drawing says “Max”, so less is possibly “OK”... What are you towing and where? Why do you NEED a lock n roll? You can search for some of the bent frame threads if...

The arms feel like the easy part to me. I’ll make a sketch today and send it to you.

Follow the wires and see where they go?

@rgallant: I love the hockey stick idea! It makes sense and is very Canada. I’m guessing there aren’t many people looking around the garage in SoCal and coming up with hockey stick as an ad-hoc solution. I wonder if rope(s) tied inside of the tent and fed out through the hinge area could...

I’m not thinking it is permanently mounted, more like something that folds flat and you tuck it in somewhere. Think of the drive in movie or restaurant trays that attach to your window, but you can be more precise because you don’t have to fit lots of different vehicles. If you were willing to...

Should be very easy to make something from 1/4” or 3/8” plywood (sheet metal even better), that hooks the top of tailgate and has an angled leg that kicks down to the inside of the tailgate where you employ your awesome magnet idea. Imagine a shelf bracket the whole length of the shelf. If you...

I just shove it into place, if I want to close up quickly, I shove quickly ?. I’ve tried different variations of shock cord and tools to help with this, but in the end, a small 2-step aluminum ladder is the only thing I use... or I make my kids do it while I drink coffee and bark commands and...

Yes, I petty well learned my lesson on using the Rustoleum for certain parts of this latest trailer refresh. I was trying to do rattle cans in a misguided attempt to reduce overspray in the garage and allow single panel work with less mess/prep/equipment cleaning. I failed. however, to answer...

My shelf in the JKU is bolted and strapped to the roll cage. The fridge takes all the space from back seat to rear door on one side, stove and duffels on the shelf, chuck box And dry goods and anything else on the slide out cargo rack next to fridge, RTT with bedding inside, chairs on rack in...

I use really heavy duty cardboard boxes that wineries ship 4-bottles laying sideways to my house. They just happen to fit nicely on my shelf in the Jeep and for some reason there seems to be an endless supply...

Pull your poles all the way into the corners of the material at the top? Something is too tight across the top.

6 weeks farther on, and I have (almost) finished the paint freshening, bolted everything back together, added different sealed tail lights (had to build new brackets as they are a different size) and built a handle to help close the lid. A note on the paint. I am far from an auto body expert...

This idea isn’t bad, but use caution with a tow vehicle that has swing outs. On mine for instance, the swing out comes across about 3/4” above the top of the hitch, so you have to run a pretty deep drop hitch and lower the trailer or lift the tow rig to clear anything sticking above the top of...

Tongue might be too short to operate your swing outs? Double and triple check this before you build. Typical trailer frames do not make a 90 degree triangle at the front. Check a coupler catalogue, but I believe a 50 is commonplace. I don’t know precisely why, but suspect it has to do with...

I understand your frustration but my entire Jeep looks similar that or has faded to sort-of-charcoal grey. My rear bumper (Smittybilt), the modifications I’ve done (RustOleum), my roof rack (Gobi), my front bumper is holding up best (OrFab), and all of the factory plastic, plus everything...

I’ve had similar spots happen to parts that I’ve powder coated myself. I think it is probably mostly oxidation or UV damage of the coating, but I’m just guessing. Does an extremely light buffing compound and good hand buffing get it back to dark black? If so, wax it afterwards.

I’m also somewhat surprised they broke like that. A triangulation strap between the bars might help if you go back down that road, or welded gussets inside the support (but they aren’t really no-weld then)... I’d have to see it up close and hands on. My off the cuff guess is that your bolts...

That is similar to what I was thinking except I had my leg cross tube bolted on a pivot through the outer tube of the table edge.

After looking at those Regency tables I think I’m going to abandon my tube table project and buy one or two. It is hard to beat $130 each for a stainless table. On edit: until you consider $50 each in shipping... maybe still a good deal? So I thought maybe $50 would cover shipping 2... nope...
