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?

 
 
 
 
 
 

That looks great @PhullD !

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.

Nice. Mine is in the shop getting the motor mount done, wish I could have got it all done sooner to so some trips but perhaps we can do something in sept or october.

Will it be ready for AW?

It's supposed to be... Did the leaf bushings on the weekend and the gas tank a few weeks ago.
 

Leaving shortly for AW. Did an experiemnt. Hopefully a success. First trip for the trailer too!
 
 

The new trailer looked great, Phil! How did it perform?

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.

I could swing it. Viv and I already decided grandma will get the kids so Viv can tag along.

Sweet, Idk if Jim and them want to do a full hydro run or we do something in calabogie.

Any idea if a run is going to happen? I have put off washing the truck thourougly in anticipation.

i heard talk of a run on the 18th but i still haven't taken care of the overheating issue.

I think they are planning on the 25th now. But it is in Ardbeg.
