@Soggoth thanks, I love the Bishop area - I will be going down that way in the next 12 months for sure. @DannyLLama a group trailer trip would be fun if it could be pulled together. Here's a few pictures of mods I recently made to my trailer. I previously had the high rack but didn't really...

@Soggoth looks great! Do you mind sharing the approximate area you were in? @DannyLLama good to see you out there enjoying it! I haven’t been out too much with mine but I have been making some modifications to it. We had to use it to evacuate from a fire that came close by (thankfully it...

I added an ARB Awning to mine after my recent trip. Took 3 months for this to come in... I used muffler clamps to install it to the top of the load bar - I used 4 of them, I think 1.5" and they worked really well. The ARB uses slide bolts in a groove top and bottom - I has to purchase some...

@DannyLLama I am pretty sure it is this chain: They had a length already cut at Home Depot so I grabbed it - was about 16 feet which ended up being perfect. I bought the heaviest duty padlock they had at Wal Mart, supposed to be pick-proof and hard to cut open. For the kitchen box, I made...

Here is a diagram I put together to help me remember where everything goes. I found the 17 Gal HDX Bins fit well in the space I have and they hold quite a bit. I use two of them for general storage of larger items and food and I modified one of these with compartments to be my kitchen box (see...

Danny, I have a 16 foot length of heavy duty chain and a heavy duty padlock. I thread the chain through one wheel and wrap around the axle until kind of snug, then lock it. If a tree is nearby I will also put it around that. Idea is that it would not roll with the chain on it, and not enough...

@Kmrtnsn I installed a switch box very much like the one you linked to (I bought from Amazon) in the cab of the jeep and it controls all my lights, but I also am using one of the switches to send 12 volts to an SAE connector at the back that gets connected to the trailer and the Renogy charger...

@DannyLLama that is the pump I purchased - amazing value for what it does. I bought vinyl tubing from Home Depot to use for running to my water tanks. I also am working on building a mount to just put the pump on top of a water can with a short run of tubing that it comes with to reach down...

I've had a few people ask me for additional pictures of my set-up. I recently took it to Utah / Moab, which was my second major trip out and involved about 2400 miles of travel (to/from Northern California) and that included about 200 miles of off road travel, some of it fairly severe and two...

Great recommendation to keep a few of those in the electrical spare parts bin. I hadn't seen that type before, looks much better than the old blue ones that more often than not cut the wire you are tapping. In my case, I used a butt connector to bring in the controller wire. Was really hard...

The trailer should be wired and ready to go. There is a brake control wire on one of the pins and that will connect to the brake controller’s brake wire. I ran power from under the hood through a 15 amp fuse, and ground to the brake controller, then there is a connection that needs to tap into...

Nice that the knob is all that is exposed on the Redarc! That's where I mounted mine and I was worried my knee would hit it but it doesn't seem to be an issue for me. I agree about the wiring harness, what a pain to get to the pedal wiring - I watched a YouTube video that showed disconnecting...

Regarding battery charging - I installed a 100Ah battery in the tongue box, and I have 3 ways to charge - I installed a Renogy 40 Amp DC-DC charger in the tongue box, and ran 6 gauge wire from the Jeep battery to back bumper, through an Anderson connector to feed the charger (60 Amp breaker at...

@DannyLLama For brake controller I went with the Tekonsha 90160. I installed it to the right of the steering wheel (in the JK), around knee height, facing up. That controller does not need to be mounted horizontally to work. This placement is the only place I could find to put it, and it...

Looks great, Danny! Congratulations! I just got back from Utah / Moab with mine and will post some pictures later today.

That looks great! Congratulations! I like the front decking for placing the cooler. I’m off to Moab with mine in a couple of weeks.

Looks awesome! You will love it. I am envious of your garage!

Sure, I am using the DOKIO 220 Watts portable setup. I plan to lay this on top of the Jeep but for this campground there was a lot of shade so I was chasing the sun. I was able to keep the 100AH battery charged to around 90% with 4 to 5 hours of sun a day. The battery was powering my Whynter...

@bruleto your trailer looks great! I like the white. Took ours out for the first time the past week to Lassen National Park, remote campsite Juniper Lake, nothing crazy but a rough road coming in. Everything went well! Still have some things to work on, but very happy so far...

Yes, I am sure he can make these different heights if needed. Just to be clear, I am very happy with the current height as it makes the RTT Annex work much better. I wasn't planning to store my trailer in my garage (too many cars...) - I am going to use an indoor RV storage facility.
