i would really like to see the arm you built for the en suite, looking to do the same type of thing

The trailer is in storage but I’ll snap some photos in a week or so and post them.

Propane bottle mount got reinforced with more carbon and armored with Kevlar on the botton.

I like your set up much. How does the Foxwing hold up on that awning mount? I plan on mounting a Batwing to mine. Does the awning rack adjust up and down? I would think in a lower posistion it would be more stable for travel.

The rock guard is a great idea. Did you make it?

The fox wing has been awesome. Last year we we caught in a number of major dowpours, the added coverage was a god send. It can be raised and lowered, but I leave it in the high mounting location and haven’t had any problems in over 5000 miles travel. I’ll take some detailed pics in the next week for your reference.

I did make the rock deflector but can’t take credit for its design. I copied the idea from Drifta, an Australian overland trailer manufacturer. I wold say that it is effective as I have probably 1500 miles on gravel roads, not a single rock chip or ding on the trailer.

I finished the wife's kitchen counter and storage rack inside the rear door. Haven't used it yet, but it should work a treat.





So easy that the wife can setup herself!

Almost done with the propane mount.

Can anyone tell me what the height of the tongue is at the hitch with the trailer on stock tires and level? Thanks I'm trying to estimate how it will sit behind my FJ-60.

25 1/4" to the lower inner edge of the tongue receiver.

Gday from Australia,

Last year I managed to snag the first smittybilt trailer in Oz thanks to the guys at Jeep Konnection
Knowing it was arriving I spent many hours on this forum so knew exactly what I wanted to do with it once it arrived.
Thanks to everyone for the mods and ideas
Now some pics :

That looks awesome. Thanks for sharing. It is very interesting that one of the lowest priced trailers, and perhaps most bashed, has such a devotion of followers. Page 112 in just two years, and the mods......wooooow.
Simply fantastic, and I to, am very thankful for the fact that so many people have shared/share their builds.
Cheers over there….

Bottle in..... now working on the strap.

NICE Set-up! I see you added some extensions on the fenders for coverage (along with mudflaps). Can you elaborate on that a bit? I like your solution rather than welding extensions on the inside of the fenders.

Also, appears you are running 37" tires? I am running 37's on spacers (My Jeep runs 5x5.5 bolt pattern) and offset that puts them out a bit. I am curious if you have fenders mounted in stock location or if you raised them? Do you experience any rubbing? I am considering raising mine up a tad, but would prefer to NOT have to. Not a great shot, but this is my current situation. You can see the need for additional coverage here.



Thanks in advance....
