Water is one thing - that bloody fine bulldust is another ! A good trip will show up any weaknesses , take some spare tools and straps and have fun breaking her in 🤠
You have done a good job. After 20 years in the army I never rolled one. And they do float. I have rowed them down many a river. Strapped Jerry cans on the outside. We called them a 1 ton trailer. I also daisy chained 6 of them together. Well done
As a No5 trailer owner and user, I can say brakes and shocks are game changers. Please do both. I just used oem hilux shock out of the bin at my local peders dealer. They were pretty new at the time.
As the owner of a 6 by 4 camper trailer, yours is good. I took a standard 6 by 4 trailer, had a canopy made for it, added King Quiky Rooftop tent and a set of 4 by 4 drawers. I have a 120 amp battery and 40 litres of water in 4 plastic cans. But I like yours. Happy camping. You never know, we just might meet up one day.
This has been bloody good to watch mate. Great to see someone just havin a go without a $200 000 budget. Just grabbed a couple shirts to help out legend!
Looks fantastic Tom I’m very impressed with the finish product only thing I probably would do is change the tow hitch on it and probably do brakes on it
Here I was pondering on doing a camper trailer out of a hilux tub and you pop up on you tube with this!?!? Must be a sign lol, can’t wait to see what’s next 👍🇦🇺
Just found your channel. Love it. This trailer is awesome. I love it. I have a new (well new to me but second hand) Suzuki Grand Vitara. It’s my daily drive but weekend warrior. Can’t wait to do more off-road stuff. Have done a couple of beach drives and fire roads of our local national parks.
Gr8 job mate, love the build & series. I have never had electric brakes, but I guess they would help control a lot better in slow, steep 4wd decent type scenario’s. Good vids. Cheers
heyyy - i followed you on this one with every episode.. and yes, youve done well.. looking at you from all the way in the caribbean... awesome build series bro !!
well certainly a big difference than the Army trailer, i have towed the basic trailer quite a lot many years ago. just watch the body roll on rough terrain as they will go over! a lithium battery will save you a few kg as well. great build well done..
Fully sick bro💪🤙🇦🇺. Well done mate looks so good. Been working on my trailer lately can’t wait to get it all workin. Go the brakes mate they make a heap of a difference. Little expensive to set up though.
because that's a landrover trailer it has a fixed lunette eye and the land rovers have a rotating pintle hook which is other way around to normal. normally you have a fixed pintle hook and a rotating lunette eye. the way you're setup both are fixed which won't be an issue unless you get the trailer on a steep enough side angle to bind the hitch, or worse case you roll the tralier and it tips the nissan as well or just breaks the trailer or tow bar.
Awesome job mate. I would definitely get brakes for it as legally it's only allowed to be 750kg fully loaded and if you get pulled over and weighed you'll be up shit creek. But the thing looks tough AF.
Nice effort mate , I probably would have went a different way with the hitch , I can see circumstances where that is going to drive you utterly nuts banging around. Longer draw bar does make them nicer too tow , I’ve built and rebuilt a few trailers over the years and all of them I extended the draw bar a tad , On my caravan too , my last trip with the big old rechassised caravan it towed like it was on a laser beam for 5000 K’s , I also replaced the old brakes with nice new hydraulic brakes , ( electric would have been nice too) , so much nicer to have good trailer brakes , did you end up fitting brakes ?
Sweet bro. Might as well throw some tie downs or rail on the lid so you can strap things to the top of it between the tent. Great project, when the white Ute getting a make over? 👌
The trailer looks good dude. I’d be more concerned about dust getting through all your shit with that back seal Unless you goin deep water crossing then it might be a muddy concern
Is it true that coal is for sale?! I saw it on Facebook market place for sale. Such an awesome build. Trailer turned out perfect and looks wicked behind coal.
my caravan that sleeps 6 fullly loded with off grid and three mountain bikes and 80 lt water two 9kg gas bottles is only 750 kg not having a dig just saying keep the vids comening
