ETxTacoma's Dynatrac ProRock 60 Rear Build and BS Thread

Should be a fun little project and if I am able to do what I want, with the amount of deck space that it has I am doing to make it to where from the fenders back can be covered with a tarp to act like a little deck to hang out on!

Going to pull this bad boy to Jambo and set up a mini fort kickass!

 

Dude, sick!!! I really like that idea! Seen it done before and the porch is really nice to have!

Hoping to see you at camp coalition!!!

 

Will have to see if I can pull it off and if the deck idea will work or not! Hopefully it will, I would like to find a 6ft awning as that would be freaking perfect to mount and just extend off the back...

May have to see if I can purchase myself an awning now.

Possibly, I think @Zac of all trades is possibly wanting to try and get an electric site so may split one with him so we can be ballers and have fans and shit...

 

That would be tight too. Wherever you go we will find you and have some brews!!

 

Most definitely will!

 

Darn tootin!!!

 

This bad boy will be here Tuesday.

Could not pass up the price that I paid for it, it was a freaking steal.

 

Started on the trailer build a little last night. I will more than likely combine this into a new thread at some point... but more than likely after more progress is made on it this weekend.

Decided to go ahead and replace out all the old trailer wiring and the halogen lights and put in new LED trailer lights. I got the tail lights mounted, but will have to figure out how to mount the side markers so may have to fab up a bracket for them to mount to the existing bracket on the trailer.

Also got in the brackets for building the no-weld rack, so will be getting measurements to plan out a design more and then ordering the metal to start working on building the rack.

Then the package from etrailer arrived last night that has the Dexter Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit in it, so will be doing that this weekend once I pull the trailer under the carport, then also have the stabilizers to help stabilizer the trailer at camp, and the spare tire mount, so will need to order three new tires for it along with one new wheel for the spare.

 

What has been so far on the trailer build.

Got the axle flip kit installed and the tires back on to see the new ride height, and it is pretty damn tall now, but it matches the truck better at least. Was not to bad doing the install with just myself, had to take my time and make sure everything lined up and was even. I guess the real test will be the actual road test which I will do this week after I get the wiring finished out.

Got the new wiring ran but still need to connect it together and about to go get some better connectors to finish that out as what was included I don't like using.

But went ahead and put the ground on the trailer so now the trailer is grounded via the truck.

 

Picked up the square tubing for the trailer build today at lunch.

Paid $77 for two 24' sticks of 1.5" 11ga square tubing, pretty sure that is pretty dang cheap.

 

Going to be trying to get this installed this weekend after working on the trailer. One thing I have been wanting for a while and finally glad I got one and better than the one I was planning on getting as well!

 

12k! Saw you said you got a smokin deal, how much?!

 

Lets just say.... waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less than retail.

 

Ook i'll quit bugging. Lol

 

With having Friday off, I spent pretty much all day working on the trailer rack again, got it mocked up, all the holes marked and started to drill the holes out. Luckily a friend let me borrow a drill press and that made the job so much easier. Until I went to put it back together and realized I should have marked it better so I had to figure out what went where again... so wasted a good hour on that, had to fix a couple holes, but got it back and made sure to label it better...

Then took it apart again and painted everything that would be covered or hidden by the brackets or trailer and let them dry overnight and during Saturday as I went out of town...

Then Sunday I finished it out by putting it back together and getting it fully painted up finally.

All that is left to do now is move the RTT onto the rack and mount it up, open the RTT and verify that it will open the way I want it to and everything. Then a couple small things like I am going to add one more bar on the drivers side and another foot to be able to mount an awning at a later date, but for now will just use a tarp as like a make-shift awning/sunshade for Jambo.

Then get new tires on the trailer this week and if I have time I plan on throwing some paint on the wheels since they need a fresh look.

 

Looks good dude!

 

Thanks man! Can't wait to get the tent on it and finish it out this week for sure.

 

You could wrap some tarps around it at camp and charge rent for the 1st floor!

 

Ha!

I am going to be adding a bar that goes from the back of the rack to the end of the trailer on the drivers side that is the same height so I can add an awning some day, but for now will hold a tarp for with some adjustable tent poles for Jambo.

If I have enough metal left over, I am going to do the same on the passenger side and then I pretty much would be able to cover it up and have a little enclosed area back there, only issue would be covering the part where the RTT is is since it mounts to the rack.

 

Back from the Lone Star Toyota Jamboree, nothing broken, still have more to clean, but the trailer setup did really well even though I am going to reconfigure the arrangement a little bit I think as well as look at getting an actual awning for it instead of using tarps so I can have more shade and easier to setup.
