Today I’m trying to make a list of needs/ wants for my rig and trailer.

The trailer is a campa USA boosted cub. Monday the aluminum tubing will be in and I can start fabricating a new tent rack. The current one does not have enough bracing for the large RTT and is too low to open my cooler; so I’m planning on the new one being adjustable height, eventually installing some linear actuators to lift and lower.

Truck is 2015 TRD off Road and I want to make it more capable, I like the idea of a long travel kit and coil overs to set it on 35” tires but here in the east I’m not sure I would ever do that system justice. Or justify the cost.

So today I am planning,I would like to hear ideas on how you would build it. What would be some good next steps.

Looks like you already have a pair of good steps leaning against the trailer [emoji16]

Very nice. Are you going to add a step plate on top?
Haven't fully decided yet. I'd have to spend more on material to put on a plate. I have some expanded metal I could use. At minimum I'll put some type of traction material on the bar because it will get be used a lot.
