I think David was looking for a legal way to import the trailer. Importing to the US means you are dealing with the Federal Government not the States. Penalties for importing a vehicle illegally result in a fine, the vehicle being destroyed, or the vehicle having to be exported. Importing a...

David, to do it legally the manufacturer has to have a "Registered Agent" on file with the DOT. Another way to do it legally is to have a Registered Importer perform the work needed to bring the trailer into compliance with us regulations. I don't know of one Importer who would take on the work...

Mark, how much fluid were you losing and over what period of time. And what kind of pressure loss, how much over how long?

AT would like to say how happy we are to become the FWC dealer for Arizona. We have known Tom and Stan for many years, and the discussion concerning AT becoming a dealer has been on going. We have always been great supporters of FWC, and think the work that they do it top rate. We believe that...

I agree with rotating the tires. Rotating the tires is essential for their longevity. Tires need to warm up from being run on the road so that the oils within the tire can flow keeping the tire flexible. If you don't do this the tire will dry out and rot from the inside.

If you don't wish to match the tires on the tow vehicle you can always go with a tire that is the same size. That way if the rim has the same bolt pattern and the backspacing works the vehicle and trailer will have interchangeable set ups. Look for a tire for the trailer that has a good side...

Solid rubber spring are available. We tried them a few years ago but couldn't get the right unloaded and loaded ratings. I talked to the manufactures at SEMA and they seemed to think the product had come a long way and would now work. The big issue with trailers is the loaded weight can be 300%...

You would be better off with either a standard leaf spring or a Timbren suspension. I can post up pictures of torsion axles that have failed, they are on my office computer, when they do fail there is no way to repair them and they have to be replaced. The ride quality of a torsion axle while...

Mike, It was a bold statement, probably too bold. I should have said we have tried "many" of the dual battery solutions that are available on the market. All the ones we tried we had to modify with the plasma cutter, there have also been issues with relocating components within the engine...

ARB offers medium and heavy duty suspension upgrades that would work well with your vehicle. For airbags we have found Airlift offers a good solution.

If you look at a Wildernest you will see that the spring mechanism for the lid places huge amounts of stress on the upper wall. Many of the shells have either broken or cracked due to the forces involved. This may be preventable with carbon fiber but it is a major consideration for any side...

We have tried all the dual battery options for the JK. In our opinion the MORE is the best fit and the easiest to install.

I don't think you are going to get 4" of travel out of the Timbren suspension. The rubber pucks are not going to compress that much. It's a stiff suspension even if the axle is derated.

We have used Timbren suspensions on some the Military Air Portable trailers we have built, as well as on our Sportsman line of trailers. It's a good well designed suspension, and provides a lot of clearance. Best suited for fire roads than extreme conditions, unless you can get some suspension...

Neil, I think it's best to ask where you intend to travel and at what time of year. Waxing point for #2 Diesel is around -8'C /17'F, I've not had issues down as low as 14'F with waxing/gelling. The main problem with my Ford truck is pre heating using the glow plugs. At 14'F I need to cycle...

Two coats of poly should be fine. There are various qualities of Baltic birch. We use 4L that has no filled voids on either side. Other qualities offer no voids on one side.

I'd second Baltic Birch, it has consistent layers and can be purchased with no plugs in it. 1/2" can be bought pre coated with polyurethane, 3/4" needs to be coated. Seal any cut edges with polyurethane, and you should be good to go. I'm not certain about the vinyl sheet under the mattress...

Chris The external corner mount is located here. The corner mount is used in conjunction with one of our 5lb brackets and a 5lb cylinder

This is the unit you need.

Ultimately you may have to change the spring hangers to accommodate new springs, but look for some Jeep CJ5 springs or some Suzuki Samurai springs as replacements.
