    Let's see those full size rigs - Trucks & SUV

    That is a LOT of work since they don't make gears/anything for the front axle (yet)! Sometimes with the trailer on, on forest service roads, I could tell the top of the box was almost an inch farther away from the body than the bottom... and that was with about 900lb tongue weight.

    Let's see those full size rigs - Trucks & SUV

    Recently upgraded from a Rebel 1500 to a Rebel 2500. The 1500 had a Vice Design front bumper & skids w/winch, Rocky Road sliders, tonneau cover - it just didn't have enough payload for our camper (it was at the limit when we loaded all our stuff in the truck with the camper hooked up)...

    Black series overland trailers

    We only setup the annex if we were out more than two nights. We recently sold our Patron and bought a toy hauler (w/bathroom for the wife!) but we had it down to where she did the main area and I did the annex and we would normally be done within 45 minutes with beer/water breaks and not being...

    Black series overland trailers

    Pulled the Patron from Denver to Sonoita, AZ for a music camping weekend (no 4wheeling) - had people stopping by all weekend to check it out. (yes I didn't have the crossbars installed on the annex when I took this). The Rebels mileage was nothing to write about (wind both directions - of...

    Chinese trailer

    When it closer to your trip let me know and we can talk about trails, there are definitely some that are too tight to drag a trailer on. We camp mostly around Buena Vista (Mt Antero/Baldwin lake and four mile area), Tincup area, and north of Blackhawk (pickle gulch/Dakota hill, Yankee hill...

    Chinese trailer

    We love our Black Series Patron - two years old. It is a heavy beast, but we have drug it up some rough CO mountain 4x4 trails with no issues. Upgraded the battery charger -solar panels are next, lead crystal batteries are still working well (it stays plugged in in the garage), just got a...

    Black series overland trailers

    How did the Gladiator do pulling your Patron? I haven't even hooked it up to ours yet - so was wondering about rear sag? We use the 4runner for most 4wheeling/camping trips, but will use the Gladiator a few times this summer.

    The beach pics are great. What fridge did you go with - looks like a dual temp? We went with the iceco 74 single temp and I’m very happy with how it works.

    Back at it

    I have RSG bolt-on sliders. They have held up well, they are gouged to crap in places from rocks and have held up the full weight of the truck a few times. Bolt on sliders are plenty strong if they are designed right.

    Black series overland trailers

    We had a couple things that weren't big deals, but the customer service/warranty people are not helpful. We drove down to Mesa to get ours because the dealer here in Denver wanted $1k over msrp. The bracket, on the box side, for the kitchen slide lock wasn't installed right and allowed the...

    We finally made the jump! Black Series Dominator in hand

    Setup isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. That said - the first four times were learning experiences and now we have a system and are done with the camper in ~20 minutes after leveling it. I set it up myself (with beverage and dog chasing breaks) in 45 minutes. We only used a...

    RSG Sliders / RCI Skids

    I have used my RSG sliders to jack up the 4Runner and I've come down hard on them and they are still straight.

    Dogs?

    We have three large dogs that take up most of the back of the 4Runner so I'm looking at a trailer options. Our dogs are used to sleeping in the tent with us, because they are annoying when tied outside at night (i.e. bark at murderous pine cones and spooky noises). I've been looking at the...
