Can we go home dad?

It's been raining for days and Odin is not a happy camper for it! ;(

That trailer tongue looks bomb proof!

You could also try Front Runner products to source a tank. I decided not to go with a tank because I couldn't find anything that was made with baffles, and prices sucked. In the end i went with stackable water cans mounted in carriers. This solved my baffle issue and allowed the versatility...

Appreciate your thinking on your rig choice for your needs. How do you like the towing performance of the power wagon?

I originally designed the safari rack too mount my RTT. But since I built my trailer i figured i leave it on that. So now i have brackets and removeable cross-members and a bunch of wasted space! I have a few ideas for it... But im still on the fence for it. I figured i could mount the spare...

Thanks for the heads-up on the sharkhide product! That could change how i finsh some jobs from here on out!

These little guys put out a lot more power then one would think!

Would you guys feel confident using a trasharoo for a couple of days in an environment where bears are an issue? How well do they seal?

Nite time lighting test! All looks good!

Not as bad as I thought it would be. It does get pretty bad when im in a cross-wind though. I originally designed it for a rig with a sun-roof so it sits behind the front seats a little. I think that helps at highway speeds.

Another Raptor build!! I was thinking I was the only one! It was soo lonely...

Not yet. Im finishing my trailer right now, then im on to front and rear bumpers. This is what i made for a front bumper on my last truck. It got stolen;(. Think I'm gonna make something more of a pre-runner style this time.

Very cool thread! I think ur the most popular f-150 overlander there is! (So jealous!) keep it up!

#1 works into #3 question. 48" axle gives u a advantage in tighter trails. Ur from B.C.? So I assume ur going thru some tighter mountain trails? #2, torsion systems are super cool! But are hard/impossible to field service. Also can be expensive. Straight axles take away from obstacle...

So, here we have final install with the Smitty built recovery boards bolted up! Still working on brackets for a shovel, Hi-Lift and an axe.

Paints done. Just a simple gloss black. Heres the mounted light bar and four single LED work lights on the corners of the top tray. A little pre-wiring to make things easier and next will be final install.

Next its the uprights and the top tray. For these components i did decide to use aluminum instead of steel. Now off to paint!

Fitting-up the structural tube structure.
