Filed under: small mods... I wish I could say I used it to camp somewhere, that time will come. Til then, some of these mods are keeping me busy. In order to move the trailer around the garage, and to make it easier to park and get the tires off the ground, I fabbed up a nose-wheel and stand...

I just cleaned off Plasti-Dip off my hood after about a year of it being baked on there. It took over an hour and a half to get it off with the high pressure washer. My problem was that I didn't put it on thick enough, combined with the heat, I think it just baked itself in there. If you do a...

If you follow Andrew St. Pierre-White's videos at all, he's an interesting South African that spent some time here around the overland Expo time. He drove a GX470 during his time here this year and basically concluded that the GX was the replacement for the 80 series Landcruiser. Sorry, I...

Whoa! Holy Crap! changing things up! See you at OTG!

@ChuckB , I actually I can't wait to get out and see the impact of dragging a trailer behind me. I know already that my road MPG is going to be impacted a bit, but with an '80 series, it makes such a little difference I may not care too much. I'm really happy with the process I used to find...

I'm down as a Maybe, Saturday's are tough but I'll put it on the calendar. Thanks for using the Rally Point tool, that's a cool thing. Maybe you could increase your radius and see if it would actually send out invitations based on that distance? Hope to see you there! Dan.

Haha, I disown you.

@maxfederle89 gives some good advice, I agree that you should consider others. Now let me put my Toyota hat on and say that the vehicles that you are looking at are the right ones! And, the GX470 is currently flying a little bit under the radar as far as an Overlanding vehicle of choice...

The owner of AT what? Adventure Trailers? Isn't AT Trailers in Prescott, AZ? Anyway, I think no affiliation. Are you signed up for OTG17? When did you change your avatar?

I'd like to go again in November. Meet you there! Dan.

paging @Dana Ramos he's local and may be willing to give you some intel. Dan.

Hey @SlicedVeggie post up some pics of your build as it progresses, I'd love to compare notes, see what you've got. Dan.

Watched your vid this morning. It was fun to watch, having traveled that road a number of times, i thought you did a good job of the history and highlighting your favorite spots (Camp Phallus contemplation?) and the sequence of events was not particularly important as the casual traveler will...

@Tom K and all, take some good pics for those of us that can't make it. We're with you in spirit! ...and fortunately, my spirit doesn't use gas or eat food... so... good luck! Dan.

Welcome! Is that really your OB #? I didn't think we were that close to 10,000 yet! Nice truck, lot of folks back your way, call it overlanding or whatever, Outfit and Explore! Dan.

I arrived home after a short vacation, which meant towing this from northern Utah to southern California. I love those 80 mph speed limits in Utah but that was about my limit with the 4Runner, and the '80 is not gonna be faster. This trailer tows well, it tracks like it's on rails at any speed...

Well, here it is. Watch this space for more updates and mods to come. This is a very high quality build, AMO's theme is "over built, not over priced" and I agree because I shopped around before I pulled the trigger and he built this just how I spec'd it, and the price was very reasonable...

This will be a cool trailer for sure. Lot's of space to store stuff, open area for things that don't need stored, RTT, the whole package. I'll be interested to see how it works out, keep us posted. Dan

Check Yakima as well. Lighter weight, sleeps 2 I think but not quite as durable as the best out there.

If you like paper maps, either Delorme or National Geographic Gazetteers are a good start. - California - Nevada - Utah - Arizona ...are all available. Specific maps for Moab and others are available but they are very area specific and more detailed. If you are tied to either a Android Tablet...
