    Nobo 16.5 axle advice needed

    Well a short update. First the axle is readily available. so much for what dealership told me. secondly it may actually be covered by a lippert warranty. If not I am really considering long leafs and a straight axle, with a shock of some kind. Apparently this a regular failure point on Rpods...

    I want to see the Rams

    I did a thing. There is nothing available in the way of a push bar for a Ram Rebel. I got lucky and got a used one off a 2011 ram to monkey with. It took me some time to figure out the mounting issues, but, I win

    No boundaries adventure trailer

    nope as I understand its a ongoing problem with the way the straps are set up to hold in the tanks. Interesting though, mine turn's out to be a T tank and is resting on 2 pieces of formed light gauge angle. I feel much better with the 1x3 tube I have down the middle underneath
