I have to say after owning this trailer new & many times crawling underneath, in & out of the sleeper the construction is solid & the trailer is well made. I feel these are good candidates for offroad conversions with some fabrication required. I went to the extreme with the tongue, in all...

I sent Daniel @ Runaway photo's what I've done. Yes they already have an offroad version called the Venturist available in the 4x8 & 6x8

make for changing the tire

Thanks for the kind words Eric, the Dexter Axle Flip Kit is a bolt on kit, BUT it requires tack welds too. The tack welds are on the spring seats, I also tack welded the adjustment nuts that sit against the old spring seats. I know one guy who didn't weld them, but my suggestion is to weld them...

finished spraying on the truck bedliner on the front & the side pieces I made this early this morning. This afternoon they were dry enough to remove the masking & install them using 3M automotive 2 sided trim tape & the 2 sided tape primer & several dots of Flex Seal Glue. It's the look I am...

call me old fashion, I still use paper maps & a Garmin 64 ST GPS in route. Google Earth & the maps in the planning stages.

decided to spend a few hours this evening doing a little more work on project Offroad Runaway Range Runner. Cutting 1\8" aluminum for the sides of the trailer. This vertical\horizonal metal band saw makes the job easier. I'll be media blasting these pieces & spraying the truck bedliner on them...

you will find different suggestions & what works for them as a good offroad hitch system. I've used a 2" ball coupler for years on offroad travels w\o issue w\ the exception of popping once in while @ steep angles. My new trailer project I decided to go with an articulating hitch system. I've...

I made a thermo cover for our Coleman Folding Oven from a welding blanket. I also use a digital thermometer to keep accurate temperature inside the oven. The cover works very well & helps keep the heat steady & inside the oven. The wife makes cinnamon rolls, casserole's, & other dishes that...

more work done today. Welded the safety chain on the tongue, cut the 3\16" aluminum diamond plate to fit the top of the tongue. I drilled & tapped the top of the tongue rails, counter sunk the hole on the diamond plate top, used bugle head machine screws w\ 1\4-20 thread x 22 holes to attach it...

relax, eat, relax & eat more than relax more. In all seriousness, we go for walks, talk around the fire, listen to music (old classic country), have a few adult beverages.

we make Spam tacos

The wallpaper for our offroad camping trailer came in today. This will go on the wall (which I'll build) that divides the sleeping area from the rear storage compartment only. This will be @ our head while sleeping \ laying down as an accent wall. I think it will look nice against the finished...

I agree with the above statement.

installed the stabilizer jack on the offroad trailer this morning. I went with the BAL C Series Stabilizer Jacks 4,000 lb capacity that extend to 28". I used my floor jack to help me install them by holding them in place. What difference between these & the originals stabilizers. I'm still...

GSI makes great products. We use quite bit of their gear in our kitchen stuff.

yeah I know. My shop building is 20ft x 45ft, with all the steel benches & equipment lining the wall's I can not get good distant pictures.

lots of products have mishaps. How else is a company supposed to improve that product. I owned a business in the custom gun industry over 16yrs, Remington seen their fair share of recalls as like as the automotive industry has. People are quick to respond when Smittybilt has issues. I own some...

finished putting on the right side fender. I have to say, things do not always come out as you want them to, but I am really pleased by the outcome of these fenders. I also installed the rear LED light.

more work on project offroad Runaway Range Runner. I wanted to use the jeep style fender & couldn't because of the existing round fenders & the holes they left. It seem that if I used the jeep fenders I would of had to raise the fenders higher than I wanted to clear the patch work of the...
