Alert | Are you thinking about running two tents then? One on the baja rack and one on the trailer?
Thule has a mounting track system for pickup trucks. It would work good on the trailer, and give you the option to carry bikes, skis, or other gear as well.
x2 on Scott's question. How's the truck running? | |

Alert | | Awesome! What's the fuel door for? You've got to think up some cool way to use the fuel door. Is the old fuel tank still in it? Use it! | |

Alert | The truck is running great! i'm back in business thanks to CR!... Yep, the trailer has the original fuel tank and pump. I am planning on hooking it up so I can pump fuel from the trailer to the main tank on long trips. Brent swapped 24 spline axles and a diff so I have spares on the trail built into the trailer. I'll set it up with an additional tent for when I bring the kids, or when I set it up as a base camp for off road trips. | |

I've got the Thule tracks Craig mentions on the Nissan bed rails, and they'd be perfect for the RR trailer. I keep the low profile mounting brackets attached with their removable covers, and it takes less than 30 seconds to mount the Thule bars. I'll take a pic later and attach.
Ed, I'd love to see those pics... Sounds like a cool setup! I need to see if any covers will fit it. | |

Alert | | Put a rear seat in the trailer, so when you are on the trails, someone can ride in it like a chariot. :D Or make your fuel door when opened a keg tap. | |

Alert | Ed, those cannot be your pics. I don't see ANY powdercoating! | |

Alert | Look harder. The rails for the retractable bed cover are powdercoated, but came that way and are without further modification by me. But I did manage to squeeze those Thule tracks on there, with zero room for error.
I thought I had an original idea, and was surprised later when I discovered a retractable bed cover from Pace-Edwards that has the Thule tracks molded right into the bed cover rails. | |
