had a successful first trip out! No real issues with the trailer, just little quirks to address, some I knew I would have to do. anywho, a few photos some hardcore wheeling, too!

Eventually I will! No harbor freights here, but princess auto is kinda the Canadian harbor freight haha. They have some cheap tongue boxes as well.

Just lots of small things lately! It's essentially done and ready for my trip monday. plastic end caps finally came in for the few sections of open tube. Really happy with how it's turned out!

True enough, having the option to switch is nice. Noise won't be an issue for me. I can't hear the thing over my exhaust at all haha.

yep. that was one of the resources I used. Looked into as much as I could as I didnt want to have to re-do things when I went to register it. and in all honesty, I could simply just throw a weld around the pintle ring, into the tongue itself, and that would be two seperate points of attachment...

no plans of that anytime soon lmao. but thanks for the heads up.

good looking out! I did indeed check into this before going this route, different provinces have different regulations, everything I could find for my location doesnt mention anything against this. Also the pictures shown when registering (they didnt even need any, but I offered) included a...

cut and tossed in some insulation in the lid and the sides today. I will be covering the sides with thin sanded plywood, for looks and to prevent the insulation from getting wrecked. This should help at least a little bit to keep some of the heat out and let the cooler stay cool.

^ thats from people driving beyond their vehicles limits. plenty of people doing that without trailers as well.

few more odds and ends coming together, first trip in 2 weeks! Tongue jack is now on also got the gas shocks mounted to the lid/trailer. They are luckily the perfect strength and moutning position! only a little bit of math was involved in choosing where they mounted, and it worked out...

backroads Mapbook shows crown land areas. Look for "fire road" or just gravel roads that lead to "dead ends" and explore! I do have a few secret spots, but those are staying secret.

*note I will be drilling a hole in the hitch bolt, for a pin. and also using loctite on the nut.

buttoning up a bunch of small things the last few days. trimmed the fenders up, and bent them outwards a tiny bit. trimmed 7" off the front and 5" off the back. and made mounts. I made them to bolt into existing holes that hold the wood on, as to not leave any extra holes if I choose to change...

side markers on, lights are all wired together now, and the plug is installed in the truck.... not very pretty but it's functional (hopefully) also have the fenders and some 1" square tube to mount them up. I have everything I need, just need time to finish the small things. I wanted...

aren't really any bad human interactions here, none on record anyway. Last summer I had one curious about my truck and was shaking it a bit, but the second it realized I was inside (just woken up and saw a bear peeking in the window) it took off faster than I could say "hey". I realized my...

Very true, lots of bad campers out there. Luckily I only have black bears to deal with so it's not too bad

Currently I keep my food in the cab if the truck. And I sleep in the back. I've had issues with bears.... But they always go for my tent, which has non food related items in it. Clothing, folding chair, clean pots and pans, hatchet, etc. Now that I have my trailer. Such things will go in there...

I love discord, but it's a totally different thing than what is going on here with the forums. Things are way more organized in a forum setting, for large communities like this one. where a category has forums, and those forums have their own specific topics you can create/post in. wheras on...

we're in the home stretch! Lid is riveted together, and back on the trailer. also riveted on the latches, and the foam between to seal. If the weather is nice tomorrow, I'll be working on lights.

Thanks!!
