Working hard and quick on the rooftop rack while will extend 20” off the top of the trailer and 81” off the ground.

Don't like the prices of overland trailers. Did not like the set up of them.

Exactly the setup sucks they have on the market and the prices too much. I'm glad you took the journey like I did very rewarding and fulfilling. And at least when we have a problem with our trailer we know exactly how to fix it because we built it.

Today I spent wiring up a 7-pin trailer connector. I have the M1 smutty build bumper for my 2007 FJ. Got the 7-pin right in the center of my bumper over the hitch. Someone said it could not been done due to the bumper frame was in the way, but if you run the cables over the top of the frame it works. Could not show you sequential turn signals due to can't up load a video.

I love the lights. I've got them on my topper at all corners. Very unique.

Ok pasted inspection. Now to get everything screwed in, wired in, and plumbed in. The fun part is going to be the Redarc battery management system.

I was going to give you shit about the first picture but I like to do my homework. I see your sleeping quarter are on top. I like that everything pulls out the ass end. Very nice work.

Also now that I have a shop my next one will be from the ground up, with an inside sleeping area.

I literally “built” this one in my gravel driveway.

It's amazing what we will deal with when we want something. If I'm going to build a sleep-in overland trailer, I might as well buy a full-size truck and put a sleeper on the back. But that well only happen when I can't climb a ladder.

I’m already driving a 3/4 truck, and I won’t be building a new trailer anytime soon. However it is the next step.
