    Best non-electric cooler not a Yeti or Pelican?

    We have a couple of 5-6yr old 70qt Xtremes at our office we use for functions and I was surprised to find their lids have insulation in them. They actually work pretty well. However, I cannot find a Coleman Xtreme in stores now with an insulated lid and that makes a big difference just from my...

    Tire size effect on trailer

    All of the above is definitely true, and I know Mr. Harley's ^^Red Dream^^ tows like a dream with lighter running gear underneath it. And looks good doing it! That said, I was surprised that my friend's M101A3 on the 37x12.50 Humvee tires tows remarkably smooth at 70 mph behind my stock FJ...

    Rent a Cricket Camper Trailer Texas

    The website shows Princess Craft is a dealer in Round Rock, I'd start with there or with Cricket themselves. If Princess Craft don't/won't rent Cricket Trailers maybe they have something else. They also list Aliner, Chalet, Little Guy, and LivinLite among the lines they deal in...

    Such a nice setup. I need one of those Springtail fold-down door racks, too!

    Uscg2008 stormtrooper

    Get a piece of rubber/plastic door edge trim to keep on the lower edge of your shovel blade. Those QuickFists won't let go, but after a few miles on a bumpy track they will let that round handle rotate enough that the shovel blade will be resting/vibrating against your topper. I don't mind mine...

    New Caribou Quick Fasten Cargo Box & Case System

    I would search eBay for the older model #s, or even the newer models of the same size. Lots of used cases get sold online.

    The Cargo Condo

    Table Saw + Compound Miter Saw ******... Looking forward to the progress on the trailer. Are you planning to change the axle, match the bolt-pattern of the Taco, or fit larger tires? x2 what Senor Harley said above. Not to thread jack, but I love my compound miter saw and I still wish I had a...

    New Caribou Quick Fasten Cargo Box & Case System

    Considering the 4yr-old nature of this thread, Pelican may not use those model numbers anymore. I'd look at the dimensions of the cases and then use those on the Pelican website's 'case finder' to see what they have now.

    Trailer lid pros and cons

    I'd say the pros and cons are the same as if you were debating a truck bed cover. How you use your trailer most of the time should determine whether or not you want a hard-mounted solution. Harley's tarp is a pretty good compromise between having a hard cover and needing to haul oversize stuff...

    DUAL Axle trailer

    Was wondering about tandem axle offroad trailers again the other day and looky here. Google brings me right back around to where I've been before, lol. I know, I know... Tandem/dual axles on a trailer would be a limitation on rough terrain and in tight spaces due to the extra weight and size...

    What base trailer?

    Other options include welding additional framework on to an existing utility trailer - http://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/utility-trailer-project.561416/

    Front Runner Full Roof Rack Installed on 5th gen 4runner

    Very nicely done! Love the Front Runner Slimline II racks, and was very impressed when I helped a friend assemble and install one on his 80-Series. But a 10" increase in overall length is exactly the reason why I'm leaning more towards the BajaRack Utility Rack than a Front Runner for my FJ...
