I have a used All Pro Offroad front bumper for the Toyota Tacoma and it will also hold a winch. This will fit years 2005 and up. I had it on my 2005 for less than 2 years and loved it, but I sold the truck about 2 years ago and I don't want to hold onto it anymore. This is a great bumper that...

Good choice on the duramax! Youll love it! For work we have an 06' duramax 2500 with the 6 speed allison, no power mods. We have put over 50k miles on it in just over a year. About 30k of those miles are towing an 18 foot trailer. On the highway we get about 16 mpg loaded, no trailer 18-19mpg...

I still think that the most practical option are some long leaf springs, they are very easy to set up, cheap to lift, and maintenance free. I think that we are kind of losing sight that this is a trailer, granted we have high demands, but its still just a trailer. The truck bed idea would be...

I think that a trailing arm setup would work great, but I dont know too much about them. The next thing is it going to be cost effective? If a trailing arm system wheels better, but costs another 200 bucks to setup, plus time, then it may not be worth it. Most likely the arm would have to be...

My guess is about 1000-1500. You can buy a brand new trailer like this for about 2500, but that doesnt include the side baskets, but not everyone will want the baskets. So havning the baskets may work against you. It looks like its in good shape, good paint, nothing is bent, good tires. The only...

I figured out how to seal the tailgate, it should work flawlessy! It will actually have two sealing points, so it better seal. I have to change how the tailgate looks from the back, but it should look fine. No worries FYI- I am going to Las Vegas in the morning and dont have a laptop, so if...

Do you know which rooftop tent you are going to buy? Or do you have one already? Any idea how it mounts? It looks like it hooks to a ski rack. If I worked at it a little I bet I could make my own ski rack and have it hinge out of the way. This way you can get your gear out of the top easily...

ok, sounds good. I dont know exactly how big the one in the build is, I guess we could ask him. Put a pile of all the stuff you would pack in it together and try to get an idea of what size you need. Ferg wanted 5' long and 4' wide. I am guessing about 18-24" tall from the deck to the top.

Brett Yeah that shouldn't be a problem. Do you want the sealing top to be removable or hinged? If removable with or with out table legs? What size do you want it? How tall do you want it? (or how tall is your cooler or gas can or the tallest thing that would go in there) I am going to leave it...

I was guestimating materials that were used on the build that ferg was referring to as a model, he used very thin tube steel, and its cheap. I buy my metal at metal mart in Lehi, I live in Draper and work in bluffdale so lehi is closer than going to Wasatch steel on 3300 south. They have most...

The steel for the box comes in at about 100.00 bucks, maybe a little more depending on size. The side panels are the expensive part if you are doing diamond plate. That stuff is pricey! I would just use flat sheet metal maybe 20 gauge and use rivets or self tapping screws to attach it to the...

Its not too difficult, and it would go pretty quick, the part that takes the time is making sure everything looks really good. This is cleaning welds, paint prep, painting, attaching all accesories, lighting, skin panels and floor w/ stain. For the most part its the stuff I don't want to do...

I could build this for you, I was thinking about it and came up with some pretty cool ideas for it. Do you know the dimensions you want for the box? I was guessing about 4' Long 3' wide and about 18" tall. I came up with a handy way to get the tailgate to latch and also a way for you to have a...
