Absolutely. DM away

I'm definitely a figure it out kind of person myself, as well. I've been through the thought process of building and rebuilding rigs and layout as needs change. I've of the mindset that when I commit to something I go ALL in. I learn everything I can about whatever it is that I'm trying to do...

Jordan craters is quite cool, for anybody who's not been there. Absolutely worth the drive. I'm planning on making this one, as it will be a good trip to test the longer trailer tongue.

I absolutely LOVE threads like this. Takes me back to before covid, when the hard core folks would have a well thought conversion. I'm a big fan of options, personally. I like to go out by myself, and in the winter. Even then, I still typically take the trailer. It's a matter of ease and...

Now this is a fun thread! We all go through iterations during our journey. I started with a cheap tent, tossed in the back of my 04 Colorado, with a cheap cooler that wouldn't hold ice for more than two days, and the ability to hold in my poop for up to 5 days..... I eventually got rid of...

They'll only make that mistake once....

Hand condoms..... Aka gloves. This keeps the truck stop smell off your meat mits, and contains it to the..... Container. Honestly, this is the only working solution I've found for that kind of fuel can. Also, that is an exceptionally well written post. I found your descriptions very...

I've watched a jk winch out a 1 ton Ford superduty long bed, with a bed mounted fuel tank full of used fry oil with a badlands 12k winch..... Do with that information what you will. Almost all the tools in my rig came from Harbor freight. It's hard to beat a lifetime warranty with all the...

For small kits (single body and two-three lenses), I've used a small Amazon basics sling pack for over 10 years. I think it cost me 60 bucks when I bought it? It has movable velcro dividers inside, and a top compartment for extra batteries and other stuff. It's similar to this one...

Looks like a good selection of trips. I should be able to make at least a few of these!

Both statements can be true! Ark off-road also makes an articulating ball for the trailer side. I'm not sure if this would fit your application, but it could be worth looking at. https://www.etrailer.com/Straight-Tongue-Trailer-Coupler/Ark/AR44FR.html?feed=npn

Picture is loading just fine for me! Looks great, btw.

Drove it to work, since the battery in my daily decided to crap the bed yesterday, and won't hold a charge. I don't have money to replace it quite yet, so I'm driving the X until I do.

Looks a bit tall for the length of the trailer, but the cabinet work looks top notch. We'll done!

I have the arb room and straight awning on my xterra. I love this setup, especially in the cold, and when it's windy. Yes, it makes some noise, but it's so nice being out of the wind and bugs, and having a buddy heater in there is very nice. It's honestly not that hard to set up. I've had the...
