The side door is now installed.... what a difference it makes getting in/out. Also installed a porch light.

Now that the door is in I started putting the interior panels back in. I fully carpeted them to help with sound and insulation

Looks great! plenty of room and I dig the serving tray for the propane tank..............I like how you think!
What are the plans for outside? Paint, a wrap, graphics or keep it low key?
Very cool out of the box "No Pun intended" ideas!

Very awesome. I hope to build something like this down the road. Probably not lifted, but along the same lines on the interior ect..

those laid back shocks don't look like they'd function very good as they're mounted !?

looks good otherwise

Taco del.... the shocks work very good in that position. before I had them on the trailer would bounce around pretty good. The spring shackles are at the back of the springs so when they are compressed the spring assembly goes backwards a bit thus compressing the shock. They are rancho 9000 on setting number 6.

Gregster... It is still the stock axle (3500 lb) I am currently just running adapters, I will eventually swap out the axle so it can have brakes though.

Right on, you might be able to bolt a 6-bolt hub right on to your existing 3500 lb axle. I was checking this very thing out and saw that these are available:

I can't tell if the bolt pattern on your axle is the same as on the 3500 lb axles that these guys sell.


The same place also sells compatible 3500 lb axles in various lengths, either round:

or square:

You probably don't have to go up to a 5200 lb axle to get the 6-bolt hubs with brakes.
