@@BurbanOverland That's perfect. I have a Sequoia, 6200 max, I figured 4500 tow weight..4k is what I was aiming for. This is what I pictured as my target build. Great work!
Awesome trailer build! Anyway you can show some detail or resource for the door construction? I can't figure out how the doors are constructed. I see the sealer, but is the door just 1" or similar square tubing with sheet metal welded on top?
My Milwaukee stuff does the same thing and will not work no matter what I do until I release the battery and reseat it. I think it’s a safety feature on my stuff from something in my toolbox bumping the trigger but not fully depressing it
@@BurbanOverland I’m thinking it is because my Milwaukee doesn’t miss a beat other than randomly doing this. It’s gotta be some sort of safety function
@@BurbanOverland if you bought them from online they're from insurance freights that been in accidents or have bad components but still operate and they resell and double dip the profit. Huge scam going on even the big stores are free buying pallets and selling again in their stores!! There's a chance this was the case here which is unfortunate. I usually buy a new one and stick old in new box and take it back for my money if it happens to me.
@@stephenwebster4438I bought and returned 3 of these from home depot doing the same thing, new out of the box. I think Dewalt just messed up a few batches
It's not the contacts, I bought and returned 3 of these before getting one that worked, brand new out of the box did this, 3 of them, doubt it's the contacts bro
Hope you are doing well, Hope you're out getting outdoors. Would love to see more of your content. Practical and well built. Can't wait to see more. Take care.
When you cut down the Thule racks, how did you re-attach the uprights to the top or bottom brackets, were you able to reuse the bolts or did you have to weld it back together? Thanks!
The pieces are extruded aluminum so I was able to tap the holes where the bolts go because the holes run all the way through the piece. And rethread and install the original bolts.
Very sweet build, i love it. Can I ask how you sealed the doors ? I cant see it well , but did you weld angle iron for the door to lean on ? And what is that white think that you used on the edges? Also how thick steel sheet are you using ? Once again well done!
16 gauge steel. The doors are sealed with weather stripping. I used 1/2" x 1/8" flat bar that is welded to the body on the edge to hold the weather stripping. I also used auto seal sealer to completely seal the welded lips.
Great set up. The only thing missing in my opinion is a decent heavy duty hitch that can handle offroad use. The D035 or McHitch seems to be the choice units down here in Oz.
Nice trailer. I like your grill slide. Similar to what I’m wanting to do with my build. I have a ‘78 Suburban rolling chassis that I want to convert to a camper trailer. Turn the front seat area into the cooking storage. Mount a fridge and my Camp Chef burner onto a slide like that so it slides out the passenger door. Pull it with my ‘76 Burb.
Real slick. What kind of rack did you mount your tent on? It looks like a ladder rack with shorter legs. Just what I am looking for. My Erickson ladder rack is too high for my liking.
Until recently My wife and I did all of our camping from my Jeep. You are the 1st and only other person I have seen that uses a tool box as a chuck box. The only difference is mine is a 4 drawer with a bin on top. I don't have any skills with woodworking so I thought a toolbox would serve the purpose at hand and it has. I guess great minds think alike. Great job on the build!
