SOLD

Believe we are the third owners. There was some light evidence of water getting into the back galley so we changed the seals, discussed with Cary at Camp-inn and re-silicone the inside gap where Camp-Inn originally seals per their instructions. We also added an additional exterior seal (as seen...

It has been an absolute pleasure! Both on the forum and with the 550. We have done a lot of work on it to make it more offroad capable which, quite frankly it is VERY offroad capable. We are just at that next level stage where we need a full suspension setup and off-road specific capabilities...

Yeah there is no shortage of trails in Oregon, that is for sure. We use Gaia premium with the overlanding layer. Works great.

Backcountry discovery route in Oregon. Offroad from Sisters to Detroit and back this weekend.

Just got back from our overland trip with the teardrop. It performed fantastic. Definitely a bit bouncy considering no actual shocks, but otherwise did great with no issues. Few pics and a video

Could try some large vice grips and prying on it.

Yeah, that became pinched which is why it will not let your pin out. Here is what it should look like: See if you can pry it back open if possible, but that is fairly thick. Something had to hit it pretty hard to bend that.

Good cleaning done! Did not want to work to a mirror finish as it is just going to get filthy again next week. But it needed at least one pass.

Beautiful!

Another addition for more ground clearance! I cut and drilled some 1.5" square steel tubing as a lift spacer between the axle and the body. Worked wonderful. Cary and team were kind enough to leave a good service loop in the brake lines which helped. I also gave myself a tad more when I...

Yeah, sidewall protection was our main goal at this point. I would be comfortable airing down 5-10psi on these if needed, but as you said its a pretty light setup anyways, but would help with some of the bounciness as well. I think I will start with 5psi next week to see, but will play around...

Sorry, forgot to update on the wheels/tires. We ended up just sticking with the stock wheels and just got new trailer rated tires in the same size for now. Its incredibly difficult to find an all terrain tire in any size that will fit that has a load range of C or higher. I did not realize the...
