Holy crap !... I thought when did I move to the Great White North, build a square drop and post this ?! (Squirrel ! sorry about that...) I had an idea (or two), but upon further focusing on your picts. it appears like they won't work... Good Luck...

You might want to coat the raw wood with a resin or both resin & fiberglass then the bedliner... I've done a small project with the liner on raw wood and it did OK, but some cracks & bubbles, I believe there are folks who've had issues with applying it just to raw wood. Wood shrinking as is...

I too ran a backbone front to rear... the removable tongue can be moved to the rear in dire situations to get the trailer out of a bad spot by those following if needed... not optimal, but for a 100' to regroup & get resituated it should work... hopefully I'm never there...

Maybe use some foam pipe insulation & have the upholstery shop make velcro or zippered covers... as Brit mentioned above... Nice looking trailer...

Truckbed thread here... some nice set ups... https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/show-us-your-truck-bed-trailers.65308/

Yes...

Box Cyn... Did you actually camp there or just set up so to speak ? The trailer is looking great...

Kendall I don't know if it applies to Monster or not, but I believe some of the other DIY liners had issues with the liner cracking after awhile when applied to raw wood. Something to ask whichever company you go with... might not be an issue, but thought I'd pass that along... if you haven't...

Thanks Blinkerfluid & Lady Underkill for the info. and experiences... Looking forward to the remaining build picts.

WOW !! Well done... I spent some time in Baja in the 90s with a old time racer from the 60s and we saw a Revcon and I drooled... He said that Condor raced a 4WD motor-home years ago in the 1000... had a seat belt on the crapper... I just thought how cool... How are y'all still married... I...

So you feel that 1/2" was strong enough... no real need for 1"+ ? What were the failure points with the XPF ? I imagine the joints... I would have thought thicker would be needed... Congrats... looks good, well done...

Y'all may want to look into building with XPF foam and fiberglass Check out the trailer site http://www.tnttt.com/viewforum.php?f=55 this is the "foamie" forum They tend to keep $ a priority & light weight, they also use what they call PMF "poor mans fiberglass" I can't make this message long...

You might even be able to get an XJ flare on there to help tie it in...

You can get O.E. or aftermarket reinforced tow brackets that might require slight trimming on the front spoiler.air dam... As opposed to traditional tow hooks that were oriented vertically & would hit on ledges or ?? I went with mid. to late 90s GM hooks that are oriented horizontal. I had to...

How about protection ? Skid plates & rocker protection (not nerf bars), tow points... F&R. Not necessarily the HD stuff, but all, but the rocker protection can be found as O.E. equip. There is a better selection from the aftermarket, but O.E. stuff is out there... All the safety equip. for your...

NICE !! well done... just where is this trailer located... ;) I've got a stalled LWB trailer build as well... The looseness is why I went to XJ springs... I relocated the spring hangers to accommodate the shorter springs... I'm glad you posted the build... sort of... Keep posting... I...

Nice set up !... well done.

I wouldn't mind having an XJ the wasn't on strike right now :mad: I made the draw-bar extendable & removable so I could swap it to the back & pull it out if need be... I found the MJ springs too long do I relocated the spring mounts closer together & mounted O.E. XJ springs... angled the frame...
