Wow, tandem axle. How much weight is this designed for?

Holy trailer buggy. That thing rocks. You could put duals on a mailbox and I'd rock it. Nice choice and outstanding build.

I was really hoping those weren't what I thought they were. Irresponsible is one way to put it, I'd say just plain dumb. Don't take that thing over a curb in the parking lot, the wheel is going to fall off!
The heim looks like a sway bar connecting link.

The plastic tube clamps are for tuff industri use, so i migt say that they are not that bad.
Have tryed out some parking area as well.
Works pretty god

I think the strength of the axle mounts are underestimated, I've seen 3D printed parts take significantly more abuse than I ever thought possible. As long as the right material is used I don't see these mounts becoming an issue. Are the links at the top of the control arm for sway bars or torsion bars? My first thought was torsion bars as I don't see coil springs, unless the Fox shocks are actually air springs?
Looks great, Bengt!
Looks great, Bengt!

The Fox chocks ar air/nitrogen
Please explain how your suspension is suspended, and how it is supposed to move. I see no spring or air bag. It looks locked into position.
Fox Air shocks. Kind of like a coil over but using nitrogen and oil inside the shock body to act as a suspension and set ride height. They've been used in the off-road industry for years.
Here's a very in depth explanation of how they work: Fox Air Shox

I just make a movie for you that Will be easier for me.
Ahhh, gottcha. Any ideas on the little heim joint looking thing?
Its probably connecting a sway bar

Hi Bengt,
Wow, this is really an impressive trailer. Great!
That Defender is also a great rig. Looks like a good suspension setup. I even see hydraulic bumpstops there.
Have fun with it! Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Cheers,
Bjoern
