Off road Tear Drop

[timlaw71]

I recently bought a used 2012 Little Guy Silver Shadow. I bought the trailer for a price I couldn't refuse so I decided to put a lift, new rims and tires on it. I then added some ax and shovel mounts and then a 5 gallon gas holder. Once the roof rack went on and the yak holder and ARB awning was mounted it really brought this trailer together. I love how it looks.

Sweet! Any close ups, or details, of the suspension mods?

Really isn't much to see but here it is.

Id like to know how they vent the ac and drain

How do you find the suspension? how much weight do you carry? and does the trailer bounce much. It's just that I have that same suspension with not a lot of weight on, and it does seem a bit stiff. Nice looking teardrop :drool:

There is a void between the cabin and galley. Most of the moisture evaporates but there is a drain that runs to the bottom of the trailer. The cowls on the side are the heat vents for the exhaust and there is a fan in the void that moves the air out. Also under the trailer is an intake vent for the ac.

The trailer is around 1200 lbs I believe. I carry a little on the tongue but no too much. The trailer bounces a little but I also need to lower the tire psi (it might help). It doesn't feel too stiff though.

Nice teardrop! I work just right up the road from you in Dawsonville.

The porthole windows look great on there! Did you instal them?

The guy I bought it from went with a ship theme and put them in. They are actually very functional.

Old post, I know, but any info on what size tires are in the pics? I'm planning to install the Dexter #9 lift kit on my 2016 Silver Shadow, and trying to see how big I can go if I also upgrade to 15 inch wheels.
