Those trailers aren't light but since you ripped the axle all that would be interested to see.
Its looking great!
I'm still flip-flopping between a teardrop / hard side thing or doing one of these tent trailers.
What other plans do you have for it? Pressurized water? Solar?
Surge brake removal and axle swap are good for some pretty good weigh reduction. I'd guess surge took 50 off the nose and axle as well as Humvee wheels and tires were good for at least another 150.
Tongue box will be electrical center. Going to do 2 6 volt golf car batteries and a few outlets, lights, inverter, and charging solutions. I'd like a small solar setup to keep it topped up as well as the ability to charge off the truck and shore power might be a good idea too.
Currently working on getting a tarp made to cover the bed then we need to go look at storage solutions for in the bed. Something like Rubbermaid Action Packers or Contigo Tuff Bins. I'd like an awning for the other side.
I'd also like to switch the wheels to match the Colorado bolt pattern so I can use the truck spare on the trailer or use a trailer tire as a truck spare. The tire under the truck isn't full size anymore and it wont fit a full size so it makes sense. Colorado base trucks offer 16" steelies which is perfect just have to find a cheap pair.
Down the road I'd like a fridge, KJ raves about his truck fridge and I can get on board with the benefits. Maybe some onboard water storage... A water tank seems smart but for now we'll probably just do water jugs.
Well actually it didn't just appear there... I had to drive all day and get it:
Thanks to ilikemtb999 for the knowledge assist.
