Man or machine?
You are definitely a machine! Nice job.

Looks great! What spindle did you all start with? New Raptor or F-150?

50/50 one raptor vs regular knuckles all ford parts though.

Where all of the holes threaded?

On the a couple of the sets the holes for the IWE and ABS line where not threaded, but that will only take a few mins to get done. On the site I got from rock auto I could have sworn the IWE holes were tapped as I didn't tap them and had no issues re-assembling them.

We love our GO! We've had it about 4 years now and it's been all over California. My family is outgrowing it though...actually we outgrew it the moment my son was born. The trailer is great for 2 people and a dog or two. But I wouldn't try and get anymore people in there than that. We've been tossing around the idea of buying a real travel trailer lately. But it'll have to wait until my wife gets her new car.

If you love tent camping but want to carry a toy, or more gear, then the Sylvansport GO is exactly for you. It's also super easy to tow because it weighs next to nothing.

But weigh your options. At $8k, the GO's price can be rolled into something quite a bit larger, and accommodating. Namely something that doesn't flap in the wind, and has a bathroom. Both are apparently things that my wife is growing towards. :ROFLJest:

Look into the Cricket. It's an awesome lightweight bad boy. Ordering mine this summer.

We've looked at the Cricket, but it's too expensive for what it offers. Don't get me wrong, I love and appreciate the engineering that went into the Cricket. But for the same money (fully-loaded Cricket), I can get an all-aluminum travel trailer like a CampLite 14DBS with slide-out dinette, dry bath, kitchen, queen size bed, and two twin beds (bunk & convertible dinette), plus 40gal fresh water tank and two 30gal black and grey water tanks and it all weighs 2650lbs. It's a little more than the Cricket, but it's still light. Once you've camped with a dry bath, it's tough to go backwards.

Instead of the cricket wouldn't just a pop up be the better bang for the buck? $25 grand for the cricket seems pretty darn high in comparison

The Cricket is cool... but having an ex-NASA engineer design something, means it comes with the NASA price tag. $20 grand is pricey for the folding knife of trailers. I'd like it more if it was half that price.

That same money can get you a self contained travel trailer, with AC, bathroom, full kitchen, and 1 slideout.

Is there an echo in here? :crazy:
