Maybe, but I don't think AW will be in the cards. One of the stipulations was that I needed rock sliders to do it. I am being picky for function and style and either a company doesn't ship to Canada, or they don't respond back to my emails, including Coastal Off-Road.

Have you tried calling them? Maybe your mails are going to their spam.

Over the last weekend I replaced my rear brakes, lines, etc and disconnected the stuck parking brake cables.

And replaced the fuel tank. Of course half the bolts broke off but at least you can remove the bracket from the frame to be able to work on it on a bench. First time welding nuts to broken off bolts actually worked for me.

Finished exterior of the trailer. Found my passenger inner tie rod was wet on a really hot day. I think the steering rack will need changing at some point but it doesn't drip when just parked yet.

Imgur won't accept uploads anymore so not sure how to attach a photo now. Is there a direct post from my phone for this site?

I painted the boxes the other day. I think I'll be bringing it to AW. On the fence about bringing a ground tent, I still like being able to stand up.

Yeah @PhullD it looked pretty slick. Maybe we can get one more run in before the snow comes.

For the sleep portion and storage it was perfect. The double burner propane stove was a little too good, I wasn't expecting it to heat so quick at such a low setting. The fridge was annoying to pull out, might make a side access slide or something. The water solution was just a water cooler jug with a plug in 12v pump but seemed to do the job.
