    Trailer build axle issue

    the real problem is your spring mount is too far forward or your leaf is too long. You can help with a longer shackle but I would move the mount.

    Trip to Salida Colorado

    Head north and then west through Natrona and up the canyon towards St. Elmo. Tons of trails. Personally I like the area up towards Mt. Antero. Check the conditions since there was so much snow and avalanche damage, some trails may be closed or restricted.

    Dirt Bikes: Anyone else throw one on/in the back?

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    Don't get me started with the red head stories. They are definitely exciting...in all of the good ways...and all the bad ways, many times all within milliseconds of eachother.

    Should I get a second lens and tripod?

    For wildlife you will want a longer lense. For landscapes, the 18mm is not wide quite enough for here in Colorado and Utah. A first telephoto zoom might be best to get a roughly 55-200mm plus a 2x extender to keep the price tag down. A decent tripod (heavy) will be required for the telephoto.

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    I have fun making it a competition to see how cheap I can build my stuff. Not low quality, or performance, just cost less. I am not afraid to drop money on something if it does what I want.

    I figured you would call it a HE since it is being a PIA and costing you money :dizzy: What type/size tires are you getting rid of? I am looking for two serviceable 15" rim roughly 31" tires for my trailer.
