My trailers pretty light unloaded, and i have a fixed rail for mounting my rtt. The floor of the tent sits about 6'-4" from the ground. I havnt had any tipping issues yet, though one time i was worried.
But an adjustable set-up is alot cooler!
Love my little 100% Duty cycle Viair with the 2 1/2 gallon tank. It came with a coiled air line that i can easily reach all my tires. And i can run air tools with it too.
I was lazy.... So i just made a simple rack. There are some rails you can source from truck outfitter companies. Thule for example did have a aluminum extruted rail that came in 3' lengths.
Sorry my quote took so long to post before your second post. It does that sometimes for me.
Are you on the Alberta Raptors Forum? Seem to recognize your orange theme rig from there.
Those 37s look pretty snug in those wells lol. Gonna do a mid-perch mod?
Great to see another Raptor build! Totally following this thread! Feel free to check out my build threads. And keep posting your work!
Usually id say aluminum. But steel in this case. All those rivets would have to be sealed with silicone or something else. I had a few riveted things on my trailer for its first run that leaked a little. Now everything is bolted and sealed.
Wats your plans the back-end? Hinged door? Tailgate...
I totally agree! Im lucky enough to do custom fabrication on trucks for a living, and as my hobby. You should check out my trailer and rig build threads. Looking forward from more from this thread!
Yes!! A real ground-up build! I also got some canvas sourced to make my own awning. Its way bigger, way stronger and way cheaper then a brand name from the market. So looking forward to what you do next!
One thing to keep in mind with the Fox suspension on the Raptors is thats its very soft in the rear. With my rack, storage system and everyday gear i have a couple hundred pounds full time. And my rear saged almost 3". Since then I've added a single "helper spring " that solved my saggy butt...
I always thought a hardshell option was like going to the dark side! But it is nice to keep ones gear clean. Ive been thinking off getting a removable canvas cover for my rack. Best of both worlds, and keeps all my options open.
Update!
Started on my "kitchen ". This mounts in the main cargo area of the trailer thats on 48" slides. Driver side has a drawer for the stove thats on 20" slides. And passenger side has a drop down prep table that when is up secures the totes that store dry goods. The prep table has...
As far as "need" goes, thats up to you.
In my build I didn't go with another battery and electrical system, i don't have a water tank and no fridge. For me electricity and running water cross the balance between "camping " and "glamping ".
The Mule looks like a good base to start a build...
