I have been upgrading my trailer for the past few years, and though I would share. Many of the upgrades were ideas from this thread, I made a video to share the changes.
I am working on adding a positive pressure ventilation connected to the trailer power currently, I tend to have to keep increasing the pressure on the doors to keep the dust out.
For spare parts I call Smittybilt, they have been good about this.
I replaced the XO500 with the XO750, the XO750 has failed on me as well. There are two pins that keep the jack/wheel assembly from rotating on the center pivot. The welds that hold the back of one of the posts broke. Had the second one failed it would have dropped the trailer on the tongue...
I did the same and have been running it for ~ 2 years with no issue. I did bend my XO500 pushing it over the garage transition extended too high so I would would lower it when you are moving it on the jockey wheel.
I have had the XO500 on my Smittybilt Scout for ~2 years and been really happy with it up to last week. Way easier to move than the stock jockey wheel. Moving the trailer out of the garage it bent, you can see the square tube is bulging on the flat. While I like their product and I have a...
I have been used the adapter and it has worked fine. I also have a Bronco on order and lucky me the Bronco and Tacoma bolt patterns are the same. I also have a swing out tire carrier on order. He is making mine just wide enough to clear the rear door as opposed to the full width shown...
@Catalanbull I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on the RC industries boxes, thanks for pioneering these and sharing! It looks like the depth is not sufficient for the door to drop straight down with the chains disconnected. Would the hinge design allow this if the boxes were deeper and how...
I use mine almost every trip, I added a bar to mount a mud flap and a different jack as well so I don't have to use the adapter piece. this makes it more stable as well. I added on on the front opposite the jockey wheel, with this setup I can level and stabilize the trailer on almost any ground...
I have the Max Coupler, it has been fine but I tire of lining up the pin and getting it thru the Yoke. If you are on flat ground it isn't too bad, but if you end up needing to decouple the trailer to get thru a spot in the trail it can be very difficult to get that pin back in. My wife picked up...
I have the Blue Sea M2 which I like mostly... except for the LiFePO4 SOC monitoring that I have been having issues with, this last weekend it read 39% when the bank hit the cutoff voltage. They don't have LiFePO4 setting but were helpful in answering my questions and telling me how to modify the...
My concern is the tongue weight on this trailer is already high. Given the location I would estimate 25-50% of the added weight to be on the tongue. Assuming 250 lbs when filled that would increase the tongue weight by 60-125 lbs. Maybe @RyanHeller can give us an answer? Great to see products...
It's believe its made in the same factory as the Smittybilt Scout. Many of the features and parts look identical. They are built in China, I am not sure where but I could probably find out as I am typically in China 4-10 times a year when there isn't a pandemic/trade wars.
We have a 23Zero Sydney, it fits our family of 4 great. I am 6', the kids are 7 & 8. Personally I would not want the time and work of setting 2 different tent up.
Seams like 20% is a reasonable number, where did you get it from? Standard natural gas furnaces are 80% efficient going up to 95%. Given the compact size I would guess they may be less than 80% efficient.
I pull mine with my 06 Taco, it is just slightly wider than the truck but I am running 2" wheel adapters making the track 4" wider but allows me to use Tacoma rims.
Use the customer service form on their website, I have got consistent responses this way. As you say, when I email the same people I don't get a reply. I am guessing that they are track response times from the web site.
