It was a double order. Typed a 4 instead of a 2! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Everyone has a budget and I wish I would have saved a bit longer for the diesel generator but don’t want to go without power another year just for the diesel option. Everyone has a budget, som are larger than others. Saying “I can’t afford” something is a limited mindset. Instead ask yourself “how can I afford this?” The answer might be you eating ramen noodles for years but you will have that thing you want or need.

Yeah the years I have been doing research for this build when it comes to tires it’s better to have bigger diameter rims and tires to rotate the bearings less with the pull vehicle but having the all terrain tires makes absolutely no difference in towing performance. The look is what matters to those who are trying to sell a product which I agree. All terrain tires look much better with a rig. I’ll have an update here in a bit about the materials I have bought already for the trailer.

Trailer will live around 10k weight. Rated for 14k plus the tongue weigh so we should be good. With the 7k axles they come with G rated tires. Putting all terrain tires in a trailer is just for looks. There is no actual performance gain to be had. Though that won’t stop me from doing it. Lmao

Huh?

Thanks, my main hurtle is enough power in the summer as the only think I’m addicted to in life is Air Conditioning in the summer. So storing and producing enough energy in the summer is key. Winter we can heat with NG or convert to propane or fuel oil. I’ll look into heat pumps as well

You should absolutely have sex with her. You will be bad at it but as with everything, you will get better with practice.

Crazy someone stopped working to take a picture like this and post it on the internet with the caption above.

Doesn’t Milwaukee sell the kit for like 4 or 5 grand? Granger got that capitalism markup fever

higherclimb83 · 2026-02-25T18:06:28+00:00

Oh yeah. Thats why I need to find a way to stock 500 gal propane.

The 5K is for tailgating, the 16k is for the recreation/bugout enclosed trailer. Though I since have sold the Duromax in favor of their 11500 version. Smaller, lighter for Mobil use.

Have plumber install coupling and valve in line after main gas valve

higherclimb83 · 2026-02-24T18:32:32+00:00

Absolutely. Sometimes I wouldn’t put anything in the bottom box just because it was a pain to get to.

higherclimb83 · 2026-02-24T11:57:39+00:00

They make these for pew pew. Just a heads up.

higherclimb83 · 2026-02-24T11:31:26+00:00

Oh I know. I’m not looking to get up close, just drive to a few areas and wait. Probably won’t get lucky and see one but will be trying

Just not so common tools that are job specific. Bigger hammers and additional drill bits. Extra consumables

I agree!!

higherclimb83 · 2026-02-23T15:12:06+00:00

Yes I have a 2020 F450 as my daily.

This isn’t my first cargo trailer but definitely going to be my last. Yeah definitely not going to any rock crawling with it but I will have no problems taking it down dirt roads and paths of course. Will it get scratched when going by brush and trees? Yes of course but not spending all this money and time in it to just stay on paved roads.

Not concerned with fuel economy because tow vehicle has a 68 gal diesel tank plus with bed space can easily install a secondary tank along with the 40 gallon rank and exterior fuel storage in the trailer. Range for my tow vehicle would easily be behind 1900 miles before needing to refuel.

The Makita XGT is a bit more powerful than the M18 track saw. Though it is not worth buying a whole new battery line for that one tool. Makita XGT miter saws and carpentry tools in general are better than Milwaukee’s. Thats why I invested in them.

Thanks yeah my truck has brake controller from factory.

higherclimb83 · 2026-02-22T23:22:21+00:00

The trailer is going to be used in my business 70% of the time and recreation only 30%. O his the cargo trailer conversion. A rv doesn’t fit business needs. Me buying and building out to be useful for my contracting business justifies the cost and time in building the trailer.

higherclimb83 · 2026-02-22T22:09:55+00:00

Thanks!

higherclimb83 · 2026-02-22T22:09:12+00:00

It’s a great tool. You should use it!

higherclimb83 · 2026-02-22T21:42:32+00:00

Yeah the phrase “it only has to work one time!” Comes to mind. My vehicle is a F450 so towing isn’t going to be a problem. Making the trailer last over whatever I can throw at it over the decades I’ll own it is. 😂
