I respect your attention to detail. You did a great job on the wiring and I appreciate the tip to build in expansion capability by starting with the 7 pin system. Thanks 👍🏼🇺🇸
I don't know if I'll ever get to do a build like this, but this gave me enough reference information to figure out how to make the cabin extend out and over the wheels. Ideally making it so that you could have an East-West full size resting on top of the height of the wheel well. And then having some utility space underneath the mattress.
That would be awesome! I opted not to extend over wheels to keep it simple. I also wanted to be able to see around the trailer in my side mirrors easily.
@@Adv4x4 Well my Friend, that is why I finally got an IG Account. Be my pleasure to share my world with you (if I can figure it out lol). Stay tuned. Thanks for the interest.
This is great! So much goes much more work goes into it than you'd ever think. We almost went this route with a tow behind. Were renovating an 86 Toyota motorhome over on our channel. Almost time to pull our hair out haha Keep it up! Cheers!
I think that depends on the tow vehicle! I think having matching wheels and tires on the camper is a great idea just for the fact that your spare tire can work for the trailer, or your truck!
Curious to know the distance between the outside of frame to the wheel mounting surface? I'm rebuilding a tow low camper and I'd like to put these axles on but can't find the measurements for if they'll fit
Cracking videos on trailers, you've got me inspired to make my own trailers now. One for camping and one for biking. When is the next part of this build out? need to see the wiring finished off. If you can go a little slower or more indepth on that, that would be great. Not full auto electrician indepth haha.
Appreciate you watching! Working to get it out asap. Possibly on RUclips next Sunday 👍🏼 got held up by some late shipping on parts. But sure thing with the wiring
This is a great video mate! Loving it even though I am a little late to the party. But as an auto elec I get forest whittaker eye when i see earths screwed to the body. You would have been better bolting that to a common earth stud within your box or with a bolt on the chassis rail. Screws come loose and its always that jiggling earth terminal giving people issues in these circumstances. Just a bit of food for thought!
How confident are you in the 3/4” inch steel as the frame vs 1” steel? Do you think the difference would be night and day in terms of structural strength?
Very confident! I had been all over the roof before it ever had a roof rack to ensure my panels were adhering correctly. Didn’t even seem flex at all with me up there
The one thing I have found with the liners (i.e. Raptor, Line X, rhino.. etc) when used in areas where they can get scratched, the rust will eat under them. You’ll soon be able to peel that liner off like an onion skin. I only use liners now in areas where I can look after them and fill them immediately after they are blemished.
Thanks for the heads up! I have actually been using raptor liner on various things for a few years now and have luckily never encountered that issue 👍🏼
@@Adv4x4 I wish I was aware of these nuts when I built my trailer. I ended up getting metric studs and banging them in place of the 1/2 inch ones that came from Dexter. Now I can use OEM toyota nuts
4:38 You say you like 1/16 toe in. Seems a bit vague. Mustn’t you also specify the distance from the axle? Surely using a longer straight edge and measuring far from the axle is not the same as using a short straight edge
Not really, you’re measuring for the wheel. It’s going to be a 1/16th inch less in the front than the back. Look up tire alignment videos, and you’ll see that everyone uses a short piece of metal, or level.
I tell you a secret that I did. You know those little plugs that you put on the front of the trailer or the full wave plugs, you can get those, and at every light put one at every light that way. If you had to replace the light, you just pulled the plug, take the light out, rewired onto the plug. Put the plug back in and you got it made. I do that because. Somebody's always hitting it or something. Somewhere. Down-the-line and breaking a lot. So this way, nobody hits it. And you're up on Poles too. That way on my boat, they're not. They're not able to hear them.

This is the best video I have seen, of course you make it all look easy. The level of detail you provide is invaluable.
Appreciate it man! Glad it was helpful!
Who are YOU?!!! Building an heirloom trailer like this? Love your attn to detail.
I’m just a guy in his garage with a camera! Thanks!!
A very professional build so far, keep up the good work 👍
Appreciate it Carl!

Appreciate you watching!! Glad you found the video helpful
I refurbed a small landscaping trailer last year. Love your aesthetic. Never seen a better wiring job. Great paint work. Looks like fun!
Thanks man!! Had a blast making it.
Thanks for taking the time on this build!! Very informative and well built!!
Thanks Bruce!!
This has been a fantastically in depth and clear video, really appreciate the time you put into this!
Awesome to hear man! Thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate it!
Amazing craftmanship, keep up the awesome work!!
Appreciate it!!
True craftsman! Can’t wait to see the outcome of this build!
Thank you for the support!!
Really great attention to detail.
Thanks for putting this together.
Thank you! & thanks for watching 🙌🏻
You put a lot of work into the trailer and video, great job! The video has good production quality, your explanations are clear and concise.
Thank you Paul! Glad you enjoyed it. Really appreciate you watching!

Great episode John. Very tidy wiring job. Thanks for the content, enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Thank you Mike! Enjoy yours too
@@Adv4x4 Packing up and get ready for our first backcountry trip of the season. Very excited!
Awesome Mike!! Would love to see some photos from your trip on Instagram 👍🏼
@@Adv4x4 Well my Friend, that is why I finally got an IG Account. Be my pleasure to share my world with you (if I can figure it out lol). Stay tuned. Thanks for the interest.
I’ll be waiting!!

Hey guys!! Just subbed to your channel. I absolutely love those old toyota motor homes! Will definitely be following along
Thank you!! Looking forward to watching you camper come along as well!
Keep it going man
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Nice build
Thank you!
Which axles did you get to run the larger tires? I bought the 3500 axles, not the HD version.
Great video!! What size tires and rims do you recommend on an Overland trailer build??
I think that depends on the tow vehicle! I think having matching wheels and tires on the camper is a great idea just for the fact that your spare tire can work for the trailer, or your truck!

Thank you!! No worries they are easily accessible!
Some companies use Black = Hot, White = Neutral, like house wiring. That's why the wiring is like that on your lights. @7:33
Yep! Just puzzling they decided to do this on a 12v system haha

@@Adv4x4 It takes some time, I have an All-Pro bumper on my 01 rust through after years of beating on it and not paying attention to the rock rash.
How do you know each side is toed in evenly?
What software did you use to sketch it out? I thought you mentioned in a build video, I just can’t remember which video it was 🤪
Draft paper was the free one with white background and Shapr3d was the 3d model one!
Does the 60% for the axle start at the front of the trailer frame or the front of the tongue?
From the tongue hitch.
Please provide link to the nuts suitable for Toyota wheels. Edit. I found it. Thanks.
👍🏼👍🏼
@@Adv4x4 I wish I was aware of these nuts when I built my trailer. I ended up getting metric studs and banging them in place of the 1/2 inch ones that came from Dexter. Now I can use OEM toyota nuts
I got lucky and had a internet friend who pointed me in the right direction! I was going to install new studs as well originally

@@MichaelCook1981 Would it be safe to say 1/16 of an inch at 8 inches from hub centre? Example 16 inch wheel
What is that degree measuring tool called
It’s linked in the description! It’s made by Klein Tools. Digital level
@@Adv4x4 thank you
