Just awesome work.. SO much too learn from your build.. I am planing long trip very soon and would love to make similar arrangments firstOriginally Posted by Marlin
Very cool, I am doing a trailer setup, I just don't think the VX has the space as an expedition setup. If I were going full boat on the vehicle, I would find a nice 2nd gen trooper. The 3.2l is more reliable and no pesky TOD electronics to worry about failing. A trailer on the otherhand, you can leave behind if you had to, and no worries about breaking down the tent in order to move the vehicle for whatever reason.
I am ordering a max coupler (marketed by Kilby) allows crazy rotation on 2 axis and regardless of trailer orientation relative to vehicle. I am starting with a Lifetime Sahara trailer, sitting in my garage right now
Adding some VX rims with 30" tires, will move the fenders as needed, evaluating new leaf springs to raise the trailer further above the axle, but I may not need to.
10 Gal RV water tank above the axle, flexible solar panelsl kits are getting cheaper. I was thinking of using a projector screen style retractor or an outdoor blind retractor as the storage device, then just pull em out when needed.
This will be my summer project, coupled with the VX bumper.
I wish you luck and will be glued to this project thread!
