I called Pro Comp and I was told those wheels are not designed for regular lug nuts. The wheels were designed to be used with spline locking lug nuts .

Not sure what those are, but my Pro Comps seem to work with regular Toyota nuts.

Not the same wheels as on the trailer.

Right, but maybe you can get a set of these to replace? The wheel in the picture is what Mark put on the trailer, because it has the same specs as OE Toyota 80-series Land Cruiser wheels.

I was able to get the lug nuts off using a 3/8 inch socket and replaced all of them with splined lug nuts.

Good to go.

Excuse my ignorance but do you have a pic of the splinded lug nuts?

I’m running splined nuts on my 4Runner. I’m just going to buy 14 to match.
Picked the trailer up on Friday. Got home to denver last night. Pulls really nice. I did find that my spare tire was loose, had to use a pair of needle nose to tighten it up.

Anyone get rocks stuck between the fender and the wall? Thought about running a bead of black silicone.

They didn't give you the key for the spare tire?

Be sure to check the straps to hold your propane tank on they apparently stretch and get loose.

I lost a tank somewhere along the 13 Mile dirt road. It either bounced out of the holder or the holder just unlatched.

Finally got out on a maiden voyage with the trailer.
Quite the luxury to have a heat and running water.

Spending a couple nights in the trailer, I can continue with further tweaks and modifications to make it more comfortable for us.
Couple more storage pockets up at the head of the bed.

Get rid of the big heavy table and get something a little bit lighter and more comfortable to sit behind.

Plenty of room in there for the PETT toilet but that will get moved outside once I get the shower enclosure delivered.
The heater works well and is very quiet in the Eco mode.

Another thing we're going to have to do is make some sort of shades for the windows in the pop top.
The early morning light fills the trailer and will definitely need them for Alaska when it's light almost 24 hours a day.

I'll add a couple more magnetic roof hooks to hang clothing from the roof.

The front box was large enough for the Skottle with extra room.

There were just regular nuts holding it on Nothing keyed.

I have new straps coming from mark. One was installed backwards. i also think there may be a better way to hold them down.
