Thread: I joined the Cult

    Default I joined the Cult



    We'll see if I still like it in the morning

    Used, but was built in Oct 2009
    Dexter axle, spring over, electric brakes, Rancho shocks
    Tail gate, removeable
    Camping Labs 8'x6' tent
    Lid, hinged and removeable
    15 gallon stainless steel water tank
    Kyocera 65 Watt Solar panel on retractable slides, detachable for optimum placement
    dual Optima blue tops in a lockable nose box with solar charge controller
    1500 watt Xantrex inverter
    Lock N Roll hitch
    Powder coated paint almost everywhere
    Leaf Springs with Poly bushings, Procomp front YJ springs with 2'' of lift
    Integrated rear hitch receiver
    Nice coiled 7-Pin electrical cable

    Negatives (minor):

    will dump the giant tires and 5 bolt drums for something similar to my 4Runner (complete)
    wiring is in need of improving
    lid and tailgate are not lockable (yet)
    need a better solar charge controller
    tailgate fits tight but could use thin rubber weatherstripping on the sides (complete)
    needs some touch up in some areas of the paint
    the built in nose stand is difficult to use if the thing is nose-heavy
    right rear shock looks to have been "kissed" by the nearby spring (lowest leaf had rotated about 3/4", pounded it back)
    need to buy a brake controller (Tekonsha Prodigy 2 installed in 4Runner)

    Looks sweet you will love having a trailer rtt. My trailer is packed at all times all I have to do is unplug it from the wall and put beer in the fridge. Leave it the way it is and go enjoy it.

    Congratz on a sweet trailer

    Brake controller

    Wiring Harness

    I'm guessing your trailer axle drums can be gotten in a 6 on 5.5 "lug centric" pattern, so, in order to match your T4R, which I'm also guessing has "hub centric" rims...that means you will have to convert your new "lug centric" drums to "hub centric" , so you'll need Spidertrax

    good luck, Pat

    p.s. what is the rack on the T4R if you don't mind me asking?

    Congratulations, and welcome to the other side ...

    Looks like a nice trailer. How was it towing behind your 4Runner?
