    Tembo tusk, who has one?

    Interesting. I'll have to do some more research on these. I don't want to spend a lot of money just to find out it doesn't fit my needs

    Tembo tusk, who has one?

    Hmmmm...I'm interested in possibly purchasing this item you have no use for. I have a party of 6 that may be interested if your wanting to sell it. Though, I may give you a heads up that I'm about a month away from purchasing one. I do not use credit. I think it's good to save up the cash to...

    Tembo tusk, who has one?

    I am very tempted on getting one of these. With a family of 6, it just makes sense. The Coleman stove isn't big enough.

    ROAM 1

    Thanks. Just need to find some extra time to finish it. I did find a place that will powder coat it for $450.

    Starting My Project Build From Scratch.

    Looks like I'll be going the route of painting this trailer. I originally I wanted to Powder coat it, but they wanted $1100 to do it. The powder coat shop is one of the best in our area, but I decided that was more than I wanted to spend. So, off to the paint shop it goes. I debated about...

    Cobra 29 or a Cobra 75

    Well, the nice thing is the Cobra comes with a "nightwatch" feature. Another plus to re-installing this CB.

    Cobra 29 or a Cobra 75

    I like the new look of the 29 like you have. How do you like it? I'll try to get mine wired up this week.

    Cobra 29 or a Cobra 75

    Nice! That looks clean. I originally had it set up like this, but inn the driver side. I suddenly regretted my descision once my wife had to borrow my truck, and she could move her seat forward. I think I'm going to go this route again, but on the passenger side. Thanks for posting this.

    The swing out gate is complete. The stainless fold up table is now mounted to the tailgate. Sturdy enough to hold a full propane tank

    Cobra 29 or a Cobra 75

    Currently, I have both the Cobra 75, and the Cobra 29. Personally, I like both of these models. The Cobra 75 pros, for obvious reasons is small, and easy to put anywhere in your truck. Cons: sound isn't the best, doesn't keep your stations locked in. The Cobra 29 is a classic CB, good...

    The tongue is closed off. Installing the front d-rings.

    Utility lights, vehicle/base camp

    I purchase the Luminoodle Color in the 5' set up. How long is your battery pack lasting? I purchased the Pronto battery pack with it also.

    The back swingout gate is now skinned. I have my latches on the inside, which gives the back a clean finish for nothing to snag on.

    Overland Trailer Axle

    I contemplated torsion axles. They are an upgrade for sure. Who knows, it's still an option for later on. The one reason I chose the leaf spring is due to the fact, it's easy to fix if something breaks in the outdoors. As for torsion you're looking at replacing the axle. Though, I have...

    Overland Trailer Axle

    The nice thing about bumping to the 5200# axle, it'll come with brakes. I flipped my axle on my trailer. It'll add about 6" of lift.

    Starting My Project Build From Scratch.

    Currently, I'm a salesman for a utility trailer company. So originally, I was pricing a trailer that was already built. All I needed to do was modify this trailer for my needs (flip the axle, get bigger tires, and build a rack). I would be wasting lots of material cutting, welding, tossing...

    Starting My Project Build From Scratch.

    I'm estimating this will weigh in about 650-700#. Plus, it'll have another 200# with the Tepui. I'll keep you posted on the dry weight.

    Overland Trailer Axle

    Im using the Dexter 3500# axle without brakes. I also got it with the same bolt pattern as my Tacoma 6x5.5. Dexter is a well known manufacture. Remember, you have your load on the axles, so you might not want to find the cheapest. Timbrens are nice to upgrade to.
