Smittybilt Overland Trailer

[Reckn]

Curious as to what is that vent on your passenger side door.

I have one on the other side and one in the rear. Basically there is no ventilation or airflow with the trailer stock..so if moisture gets in it could cause mold etc.

Hello fellow scout owners... did some digging and found this thread. I'll try and post some pictures of mine this evening.

Ok I have just a few random pictures of my old phone.. The first picture is the trailer with our original set-up.(Tuff Stuff elite RTT, Rhino Rack batwing) all the rest of the trailer is stock....then rotopax mount on the front. Sidebox install electrical and swapped tents to a CVT MNT Denali..I may make a build thread when I tear it down for a repeat

Adding a 21 gallon tank..got the plumbing finished and the water pump mounted. Waiting on some tubing for a drain valve and then I'll have a spray nozzle for the kitchen and a hot water heater

A 35 QT Yeti cooler fits perfectly in the "generator" drawer. Another 1/8 of an inch wider and it would not.

Added mudflaps.

Very interested in the swap. Would like to ditch the spare tire in favor of wood storage. I too run 6lug yota.

Ok guys so here is a quick run through of the 6 lug spindle swap.

From there I brought it to our local badass fabricator/offroad shop and discussed the best way to make this work.....me I was gunna cut the old one off and get a pipe that would fit over the two spindles and weld it together....he said hellllllll no!! So he cut and tapered both sides and TIG welded them together..now the rest is just reassembly....if you are running Toyota factory wheels you know you have to deal with the lug nuts with a shaft on them....and if that's the case you have to swap studs...I went to o'Reilly's and snagged some...knocked the old ones out and new ones went in like butter. The only other thing you are going to need is a super small spacer to make clearance for the center cap to miss the grease cap on the hub.

I'll post a finished picture tomorrow I have to go run and get the spacers

Thanks for the info! After all that... I’ll just go with some billet spacers for $50! This way it’s Reversible for the next owner.

Have you ever seen one with spacers on it? I had them...needless to say your bearings will hate you after a bit

Mine has adapters for Yota bolt pattern on it and although only about 4500 miles behind it, no problems.

Can you post a pic of how far the wheels stick out past the fender?

Looks good, I have been holding off on a permanent tank... Did explore a bladder tank that could be folded up and stored. Make a small frame to hold it in place when in use..

I don't really have a great picture of that but here are a couple to give some example.
