And so it begins....

Nice Trailer

How does it look with the tent up?

 

[60seriesguy]

Yes, that's my M416 (or used to be, not much left).

 

[CodyLX450]

I don't have the tent mounted yet...but it will look like this, only sideways off the tent...and not quite as high up.

I'll actually be able to use the ladder!

Good looken

How is the Overland on a cold night? I have never asked anyone that owned one. I am leaning toward the small enclosed trailer since the wife gets cold to easy. A happy wife camping keeps the good times rollen. :wings:

 

[CodyLX450]

I haven't owned it long enough to see a cold night as I just got it a few months ago.

Its pretty thick canvas - so keeping the cold wind out, and the heat in shouldn't be a problem.

 

[CodyLX450]

I removed the Valley tow hitch and the LX450 plastic on the rear bumper to access the factory pintle mount holes.

I mounted the pintle directly to the bumper and gained a few inches of hitch height, and a few more inches of clearance with the tow hitch removed.

Measurement from the ground up...

Nice move Cody!!!

Did you have to beef up the stock bumper at all???

Hows the fitment on those tires coming???

:Astrologist:

 

[CodyLX450]

I went to bolt up my 2" spacers today and found out that the included studs/nuts were 14 x 1.5, and I need 12 x 1.5.

After a run to Checker, AutoZone, and Napa - I managed to pick up 12 correct studs and nuts. (why they each only stock like 3-4..I'll never know.)

I fixed that issue and bolted them up - perfect clearance and not too far out:

Nice Cody!

Now we need to see a side shot with it hooked up to your tow rig!!!!

:chowtime:

 

[Willman]

Hey Cody.......

Hows the trailer coming???

Pictures man...more pictures!!!!:jumping:

If i remember right....you had to get 2" spacers for your wheels to fit....


Question for you........How long is your axle from hub face to hub face not including the spacers???



:chowtime:

 

[CodyLX450]

I'll try to get some measurements tomorrow.

I'm having a hell of a time sourcing another LX450 rim which is bringing my progress to a half.

FINALLY!

I won a set of 4 LX450 rims and center caps on ebay after tons of attempts and deals that fell apart for various reasons.

The best part, I got the whole set for $147 shipped!

As soon as they arrive I can get the wheels mounted up and move forward with my fender and trailer lid projects.
