    M1102 Trailer Build

    I'll leave my current feelings about Fusion360 out of this thread. :tearsofjoy: This is the model I used, you can download additional formats for other CAD packages: https://www.3dcontentcentral.com/download-model.aspx?catalogid=171&id=191624

    M1102 Trailer Build

    @The Crow Thank you! I'm not sure what I'm sitting at weight wise currently, I was planning to finish installing the electrical and water system before I try and track down a local weigh station. @reaver Very good points on the Relays and the Noco. I was originally going to wire the power...

    M1102 Trailer Build

    With all of the rain we've gotten here in Arizona this year (NOT complaining) it gave me plenty of opportunities to find leaks in my side mounted tool boxes. I finally tracked down the last few areas to seal and can begin mounting all of the electrical hardware around the rig. Working through a...

    Thank you @PNW EXPLR ! I haven't personally gotten my hands on one of those plasma tables but that doesn't look like a bad rig at all! I have however run quite a few different plasma tables and I can say the top three things you want to watch for: 1. Get a plasma cutter that has a machine...

    M1102 Trailer Build

    Thanks @Swhirstein ! I agree a swing for the jerry cans would have been a good idea if I kept the tire there. Ended up mounting the tire underneath the trailer with a winch. Getting the spare into the bed once was enough to realize it wasn't a good idea to keep it there.

    M1102 Trailer Build

    @Crfracer47 It's not as top heavy as it might appear, so far this rig has tracked amazingly well on the trails and if anything my tow rig sways more than the trailer. I think with a bed mounted water tank and a spare tire you'll have a hard time trying to roll a rig built on a M110X. When we get...

    M1102 Trailer Build

    Thank you @overland_fam ! Certainly has been an adventure working on this trailer. I have the entire trailer modeled in CAD so I can certainly share the components you need. I've attached the PDF drawings below for the corner mounts and the center mounts if you choose to use those hardpoints as...

    M1102 Trailer Build

    Tried to make the most out of what could be the last 85 degree weekend for a while and remount the spare tire. I relocated the triplet rear indicator lights to give the spare some room on either side, I just didn't feel right about having the tire pressing on the wiring harness. Just had to...

    Help with Water System

    @smritte oof, I can imagine... dimensional tolerance on the tubing can bite you in the rear. I had a sealing issue last year using PEX and ended up throwing the coil of tubing out, it had the brand name on the packaging but something just felt off. It had a slightly different color and felt like...

    Help with Water System

    Most push-to-connect style fittings have an O-ring internally that does the sealing so don't worry too much about it being "tight", just make sure you cut the ends as square as possible and don't leave any jagged edges that can damage the O-ring when installed. Personally I feel using...

    M1102 Trailer Build

    @MutinyOffroadAdventures I did a build log on the portable Battery setup here if you want to see what is under the hood: Rugged Solar Generator 2.5kW Once I get the spare tire winch finished this week I'm going to start on the trailer mounted electrical setup so I'll have some documentation on...

    M1102 Trailer Build

    @MutinyOffroadAdventures Howdy and welcome! I appreciate your praise on this project, I've been learning as I go and honestly it can be a bit tricky to find information pertaining to the M1101/M1102 trailer components. I'm pretty limited on lift/tire/spring options on my WK2 so I started...

    M1102 Trailer Build

    @DzrtShamrock right now the "cargo" bay measures 46" wide between the boxes (48" Wide in-between the tool box support frames), 5.5' Long (I'll gain about 18 more inches once the tire is relocated), and 40" Tall. On our last camping trip we had a camping mattress in the bed sleeping two adults...

    M1102 Trailer Build

    Well I tried to satiate my desire to add a 270 Degree awning with the Smittybilt but it just wasn't cutting it. Pulled the trigger on an OVS awning and I was extremely impressed with the build quality. The provided mounts were phenomenally manufactured but just wouldn't work for my bizarre...

    M1102 Trailer Build

    @Flyfishin.aa.ron So far so good on the backup camera, refresh rate is a tad slow for highway driving. Anything above 60 Mph and you'll start to notice the refresh rate, enough to bother me at least.

    @tjk775 DXFs for the Jerry can holders?

    M1102 Trailer Build

    Nothing like a holiday deadline to force me to make some progress, the family wants to camp out for Thanksgiving this year; so I'm thankful for the beautiful welding weather we are having here in AZ. I was finally able to get the remaining two storage boxes mounted to their sub frames, at this...

    M1102 Trailer Build

    @smritte good idea, with all the hoses it's a bit unwieldy to carry all of the time.

    M1102 Trailer Build

    "Life comes at you fast" would be a good way to summarize the past few months. Landlord gave me just 2 weeks notice of a +$1000 per month rent increase in the middle of an awful rental market here in Phoenix which threw a major wrench into my trailer build progress. With the move behind me and...

    Ground up off-road trailer build

    Beautiful frame and great start to the build, those holes in the square tubing look laser cut and I'm a little jealous. How are you digging that jockey wheel?
