    are two 5 lb propane tanks enough? do you ever run out?

    I am about to select a tank, I have several of the 20lb tanks and although they seem large and heavy; the thought of being able to exchange it at any gas station or grocery store is appealing; just thinking if I were camping in the mountains it might not be easy to find a place to refill it vs a...

    Why aren't there more Pop-up trailers here?

    I bought one of the Fleetwood EVO1 trailers, it is light off road capable (metal vs fiberglass sides, and lifted) We used it a few times, but I sold it recently to fund other projects. It might be worth looking into a used one

    I want to use landcruiser 100/200 wheels on my m101a1 trailer. I see that someone suggested 2nd gen Tacoma hubs and spindles to make an axle.

    109 build on 110 frame

    Look forward to the pics. This is the 109 on the 110 frame. I think I would be happy to compromise and split the difference. Bring the wheel forward 1-2 inches. I am looking into the Rovertym rear link that is a bit shorter than stock to bring wheel forward some. Once I weight this down, the...

    109 build on 110 frame

    I reviewed that info and spoke with the owner of "Blueboy" The owner said it is on a 110 frame. But, before I bought the project I hit up ECR for some advice. The ECR reply: "110 frames put the rear wheel in a goofy place as the 109 and 110 wheelbase difference makes the rear wheel placement...

    DII Steering box leak

    Hate to have my second post be peddling stuff... But I have a D2 steering box in the garage that I don't need. I got it thinking it would fit the defender, and never got around to taking it back. I found a NIB one for my d90....
