pls tell me you didn't stop... looking forward to more mods and adventures!

I'll let the pics talk first... going to drop off... dang didn't upload my travel pics... specs... 3500 solid axle 2x1500lbs (4 leaf) springs ... 2 leafs removed for comfort per side 61inch axle Spidertrax wheel spacers!!! this MADE the hubs 'centric' for the wheels... My tire...

it works!! YES!! wheel adapters make it perfect.... so last night I confirmed the straight axle 6 lug hub or torsion hub doesn't sit right on the tire, and there was no way to make it work safely with any kind of lug/shank... so I took the spacer off my truck and tried it on the hub. You won't...

torsion is nice, but every company I called can't make me the axle I want. yes I can get 6 lug ... lowest rated availible is @ 3500 lbs... yes I can get the mounting points for the trailer at my 39.75 inch trailer width yes i can get an axle less than 2000 ... but this axle only comes with...

I went ahead and ordered the 15inch trailer side and 0 inch height differnce truck side... hope to have it soon, new trailer frame should be done/ready next week.

Thread bump.... The pictures of the failed LNR look like their old design (last pic from 2013), any one have anything to say on the new design? I'm looking at one because of the easy backup, but the also offer in various tongue lengths. Above, and the fact that I don't have to figure the...

I vote for a cleaner bumper and put the 6" led bar in the above gap, it will help protect the lights better from dmg. the cleaner bumper will have less fab time, granted more weight... I'm kinda surprised you didn't transition more into the factory skids... soon other skids could tie into...

took the trailer to 3 different shops, only one 'sounds' reasonable... I'll probably go with the classic leaf spring setup, any setup I go I'm going to need a subframe... the torsion bar has it's bolt points outside my 'tappered' trailer body... companies won't make them any other way... the...

don't get hung on the rear locker, if you can get a 2001 or 2002 it has vsc and v-trac... it'll apply the brake on that wheel if slipping... essentially adding a locker up front too as well as the rear. now if your planning on some hard trails, yeah stick with the locker... or install better...

That's funny in in downtown Gilbert, rock on!

Ok, I'm convinced... I'll stick with the torsion axle... sounds like it's the best out there for the buck... anyone know where I can order a torsion axle with the custom setup? I also need to lift the trailer to make it ride lvl with the new hitch height... raised it 9.75 inches above stock...

that is some great food for thought, thanks for warning me about the spring loads, saved me lots of grief there... the Timbren Axle-less is a cool setup, I'd probably go for a 2000 lbs setup. the rubber is accessible so I'd probably be able to swap it out over time. leaf would be the tried...

this trailer is strictly cargo. no RTT or kitchen, or electricity... here's my setup right now... 20150701_000729 by Richard Gunn, on Flickr 20150701_000704 by Richard Gunn, on Flickr I need to replace my axle and I figure I'd get the best I can... and swap the tires to match my 4runner...
