First camping trip with the GX

[Biker Eagle]

We camped at Brushy Pond on the edge of the Sipsey Wilderness. GX didn't even know the Lowe's trailer was back there.(19.4 mpg towing) It was very cold and wet, but we had plenty of "antifreeze" and a great fire with the Solo Bonfire. Thinking of going from 13" to 15" wheels this spring but need to locate some 5x4.5 rims and 2 fenders.

Cool looking trailer & set u. Good work.

Thanks. Got the awning brackets half installed...will finish Saturday and mount the ARB. Really needed it on the trip and had to use a tarp instead. One step at a time.

Super nice looking setup. I have plans to build a very similar trailer this summer.

What size is that trailer?

 

[Biker Eagle]

3 1/2' x 5'. Has a 2k axle and comes with 12" wheels which I changed to 13". It weighs under 300lbs. Loaded with ActionPackers, RTIC cooler, and RTT it weighs around 500lbs. Other than the wheels, I installed two leveler jacks in the rear, a wheel leveler in the front, welded two bars across the top to mount the RTT on, Bearing Buddies, and an axle over conversion. So far so good. Have about 3500 miles on it at this point.
