Reviving an old thread, but actually popped up at the 3rd result in my Google search for some information. My 2003 Supercharged 4x4 5MT, after 14 years of ownership and 19 years of Canadian life, the frame has started to show it's age and was time to look for a new truck. Although that she took...

I run 2.5" 1/4" tubing outter and 2" tubing inner. I also have it set to actually put the actuator inside for tighter packaging. I'm limited to 12" lift for design restraints, but it's just enough to get the job done. I couldn't at the time figure out how to do a system like Dagtwo did using...

Just found and blew through, great thread and nick truck! Curious on your brake master results!

Sunday was a different story. There was discussion about which trail to take and a friend suggested to come with them for a small group of more experienced drivers on a harder trail called Anson rated as a 3+. The trail leader was a double locked Jeep on 37s. There was me in my gen1 Supercharged...

Thanks! We hit the road to Minden with a quick stop at Canadian Tire. Was suppose to say goodbye to my aunt but she was done early. Regardless, the point was to stop to get some kitty litter and a bucket. Her plan was to improvise a toilet with the toilet seat she picked up on clearance for $5...

In Ontario. I had time off while the girlfriend was still working. Thanks to the Corona virus, she now works from home, so she brought her stuff and we set up her a desk at my parents place while I was on vacation. I took advantage of my dads experience as a (now retired) millwright to help me...

March break came around and that's when I decided to get the body work done on the truck. Just extend her life that little bit more. Drivetrain is still quite good but it's these Canadian winters that kills everything else with cancer. I spent a week and a half patching that, was back to work...

Oh man, it's really been over a year since I updated this? Time flies, well, blame COVID, really. This year flew by. Time for an update...where I have to start by finishing 2019. OK. With the haunted house and what was organised. I decided I was going to put the trailer away early and to make...

If you could mine please as well, and thank you! https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/nissan-frontier-truck-bed-off-road-trailer-the-frontrailer.135876/

Oh, wow. it's been a while, but it's been an uneventful year for the truck and trailer, sadly. Leaving off from December and the crazy months that lead up to it, I was having a hard time regaining my energy, even during my Christmas vacation. During a conversation with my parents, my girlfriend...

I got one of these https://www.hotcampshowers.com/inc/sdetail/371 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EWE91A/ https://pahaque.com/products/pahaque-tepee-drain-capture-floor-tp005 But seems out of stock a lot...

I don't know about JKs, but when I did a controller on a Journey, the brake pedal used, if I can remember right, ran off of 5v, and may of used a rheostat type system as opposed to an on-off switch. Regardless, it was weird setup and the standard install wanted to tap into a wire by the brake...

We throw a strap from the ladder to the rim of the trailer. It help with that and also we had experience with a storm (that had spawned a tornado earlier) wanting to close the RTT on my girlfriend, while she on the overhanging half, and shes not petite. Fixes both issues, but I really like XJOs fix!

Back when I got my knock off RTT 11 years ago (and still going strong). I remember looking at at the Autohome AirTop hardshells and I distinctly remember them selling for around C$2500 at the most expensive models. Now they sell for over C$5000+ I'm sure R&D was done and paid for long ago, but...

I did it at first, but was still having issues. I had unbolted the sensor and isolated it and it was still detecting 'knocks' and playing with my timing and boost. I bypassed it with a resistor about 9-10 years ago.

It's hard to say. Even people with commercial campers may modify them, especially commercial teardrops and convert them for off-road.

I use Hydroworks ones from Princess Auto. They're cheap but been great. I have 4, one on each corner and good for a 280lb lift each. Not fast but does the job. They are tucked uip inside the tubing do not really exposed, but I have seen quite a few trailer builds with actuators on the exterior.

It's what I use as well. Mind you, it's my first actual trailer brake controller so I can't compare for performance but I do really like it I especially love the remote install.

I ran without brakes for a while. It was part of the plans but it was lower on the list of stuff to do. I seemed to of towed abd braked fine all that time. Then one day, I was coming down a hill and was on full brakes and wasn't doing well for slowing down. I was just happy the light at the...

That's my question when it comes to it. It seems like a great, tough coating, but I'm curious about it's adherence to metal and any rust inhibition other then absorbing moisture as it dries. Using some sort of etch primer wouldn't be ideal to seal in the metal?
