Keith, Chad and I are friends already. We are constantly exchanging ideas, watch this space to see the next addition to the trailers. ;)

Nice trailer, how old is it? Any shots of the inside?

No problems at all, there are 2" between the door and the shelves. Thanks! Let see pictures!

Corey, that is a Labcraft SI7 led light, waterproof but very bright. I have it direct wired by my switches. Ebay link here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LABCRAFT-SCENELITE-SI7-BLACK-12V-24V-LED-INTERIOR-EXTERIOR-SCENE-LIGHT-LAMP-VAN-/221520253103

Keith, the side open was recommended by Wes for two reasons, 1. It leaks at the hinge. 2. To have a door that does not interfere with the awning. The edges are sharp and would damage an awning over time with it open. Thanks for the compliments!

I will be on both, dual tuner Icom 5100a

I will be on WA1ZMS ;)

Hi Terry, yep, camping to the south at Smith Mountain, and then to the flea market on Saturday. I am bringing patches ;)

Last weekend we added some extra fuel storage, matching wheels and tires to the 4Runner and a folding shelf for the rear door. Ready for a trip to Bedford, VA to attend the Blue Ridge overland gear flea market.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Did some more work this weekend, rotopax, led lights and some door organizers.

Ah, Thanks!

Terry, Look for me on 146.460, W4NMS

I plan on going and will bring the trailer for fun. Staying at Smith Mountain Lake State Park

Added 2 Rigid led reverse lights, while I was working with that circuit, I also wired up a Garmin BC-30 camera that is connected to the reverse light circuit. The camera quality is not the best, but it beats guessing.

We attended the first Roof Top Tent rally at the James River state park in Virginia. It was a great weekend and it was the first trip with the Hiker. A few minor changes are in order and some lighting updates. Otherwise, it was a great time and I would recommend it for anyone.

Next up was the Alu-Cab awning ;) I did not want to add any height above the roof rack and I also wanted to reduce any wind/rain/etc from entering the gap that would exist if the awning was above the rack. I fabbed up my own box section to use the existing crossbars and allow a solid connection...

Thanks, folks, nice to finally have it. So, electrics where first, I added four 100 watt flexible solar panels, that were attached with 3M VHB 1" tape around all the edges, and then across the middle vertically and horizontally. Those four panels went into a 60 amp Zamp charge controller to...

Finally picked up our 5x9 Offroad from Hiker at the Overland Expo east on October 1st. It was a demo at the show for Wes Henry, the owner of the Indiana arm of Hiker Trailers. Below is a photo from when we just picked it up to head home. This thread will track the build and some fun along the way.

Walk the campground, all the good stuff is there ;)

OB, another Toyota joining you. ;)
