Silversurfer's M101 CDN Expedition Trailer

VanIsle_Greg · Aug 17, 2015

Ouch on the gas prices. Yay on the christening on the Dalton. How are those tires for chucking rocks at your trailer? A buddy had a set of BFG AT's and they quite literally sandblasted his fenders after about 2 hours on an FSR. My Hankook MT's wiwn't make a mark on mine.

Safe travels.

Hi Greg the Coopers do chuck a few rocks for sure!! I added some beefy mud flaps to slow them down.. And zero damage that I can see..

Good stuff.

Even though my tires do not, I have removable mud flaps for extended gravel travel...just in case.

Wondering if you are using that stabilizer on your trip. I bought a factory made one of those years ago and have never used it. My trailer has 3,500lb long leaf springs on it and it is steady as a rock just sitting there not even hooked to my jeep. I have zero issues of the tongue picking up while I'm in the RTT. 100% sure I'm over sprung but that is a different topic....

I have a small utility trailer, I literally found in my weeds, got leaf springs but no shocks. Bounces like bad down the road. Will the shocks help that out?

I use them every setup at night.. With the overhang of the Tepui, the trailer will want to sag to the side... When ur moving in the tent it not moving at all..

Super kool trip.

The road to Inuvik and back!
I can say this is one of most beautiful highways!! Nonstop scenery from top to bottom.. The Dempster is a good well-maintained highway, but it does have its *** kicking spots ( new ball joints after the big 3!! Dalton/Denali/Dempster) lol
