A long overdue update to the mini-camper workings… I’ve made some progress on retrofitting a more modern suspension onto the rather basic chassis. I started with a cutting torch to remove the existing… axle, then some generic steel rectangular tubing to reinforce the ancient existing frame and give a platform to mount an axle-less setup from Timbren (pricy, but well built): Then some stuff that I only documented on snapchat during the process, to fit up and attach the new suspension, with electric brakes and hubs that fit the same wheel bolt pattern as my tow Jeeps:

I see it’s been a very long time since I’ve updated anything here. I’ve started a new project, a little more hands-on than some of my previous, more online-tech related ones. I made what much of my family considers to be a somewhat unwise purchase, a 1958 utility trailer: I’m planning on making it into a custom mini-overland style camper for some solo travel shenanigans in the not so distant future.
