    Would anyone be interested in an aluminum trailer in really good shape? My neighbor upgraded to a bigger trailer for a new SxS he bought (yeah, I know, but he'll mostly be running it on private land) and is selling his older trailer. Sorry, the pics he sent me aren't great, but it's hardly been used. He hauled his ATV and bikes with it. Comes with mounts for 2 bikes. I can send more detailed info and get you in touch with him if anyone is interested.

    So what’s the purpose of the washers? I did mine without doing that.

    For me, the cat guard was touching the cat on driver side.
    There's a good scar on that side of the skid indicating I most likely pushed it up there. Probably bent the skid plate some.

    You have to use them.
    :duh:

    They were free.
    Given one of our work vans cat was nabbed 2x, I figured it can't hurt.
    Damn cat burglars

    Ah, I thought you meant the heat shields. Luckily, mine is always in the garage at night and we life in on ok neighborhood.

    Talon's Garage makes killer skids. Did their job on my last Tigerton run and are holding up well. Powdercoating was phenomenal compared to my sliders.

    Only gripe is not even on them. My exhaust just needs to be brought down a couple notches and kept in line :deadhorse:

    I've looked at those before.
    We printed a catalog for them.
    Watched a walk-thru video lastnight.
    Hard to believe they squeeze all those amenities in that tiny trailer.
    Pretty nice!

    I sure like mine, and yeah, it blows the mind that they can put so much into one.

    I had all but given up on getting some HardKorr lights...then an hour ago, I get an e-mail from GTFOverland...they're finally in stock and on sale! :spending::spending:


    edit: Holy shit! I already have a tracking number.

    Lucky ba$+&#. My front shock order from last Sunday is still 'processing'. Sent them a message this morning and no reply, yet.
    Looks like I'll be rocking the stock Bilsteins another time.

    This is gonna be great! Are you planning any particular route back? Plenty of nice places along the way to get Bessy’s sea trials done. That way she can come back fully trail certificated. :D

    Planning on going to Glacier on the way back. I can't afford to take more than a week of PTO for the trip, but it should be enough time.

    Relentless Fab hybrid bumper, 2.5” Dobinsons IMS lift, RCI skids and sliders, block heater. Painted FJ Steelies. Was trying to keep it stock, now slowly building for the Wisconsin trails.
    I finally got my transfer case skid back on.
    I had taken it to work and put a bit more angle into the bends to get some clearance. I had overbent the first one of course, so some judicial hammering followed. I guess not hearing the exhaust rattle is worth the permanent ringing in my ears now.

    Also photos do not do justice to what these skids have endured.
    IMG_4736.jpg
    that big gouge by the oil drain hole is deep and the whole skid is concave. Funny though as I don’t remember hitting anything that hard in Arkansas.

    No matter they are doing the job.

    Lemme refresh your memory. On Glade Top, we cruised over a rocky area that looked like...nothing.
    You, Dean and I hit a rock and we were like WTF? Where did that come from?

    I forgot about that. Yeah that would definitely be the big gouge.

    I guess the only answer is 35's!
