    Stockman Pod Trailer - DIY Upgrade Installations

    Nice! I did see the other 'pod trailer' company selling these with their spares. After mounting the spare up with a high tensile bolt, i'm really not that concerned, its like literally glued to the undercarriage, and you'd have to snap a 12mm high tensile bolt or break the chassis underneath to...

    Stockman Pod Trailer - DIY Upgrade Installations

    Thought id share the simple but easy way I used to get the spare wheel up there. 1. Grabbed a ratchet strap 2. Lay it loosely under back of trailer, with each end attached to one side of the trailer. I used inbetween the suspension eyelets area 3. Put the spare wheel so it sits over the strap...

    Stockman Pod Trailer - DIY Upgrade Installations

    True! but I'll have to see if my jack can go that high. Might not be the most stable on rough terrain but you can generally always get it kinda flat. I'll give it a go

    Stockman Pod Trailer - DIY Upgrade Installations

    Beauts cheers. Had a go getting it up there, def no way to do get just half sitting on there as far as i can see. Also the bolt I have for the front carrier doesn't work under here. Gotta go get a 10mm x 150mm bolt. The little oval slot to the left i'm thinking is there so you can put some rope...

    Stockman Pod Trailer - DIY Upgrade Installations

    So haven't had a chance to look at the struts yet. I've actually postponed this upgrade till I finish off the other ones i'm working on. I installed a 4KG oztrail gas bottle mount on the back right side of the trailer. It had to sit lower than the Stockman ones simply due to the fact it doesn't...

    Stockman Pod Trailer - DIY Upgrade Installations

Going to get a guy he recommended to take a look, have a play with putting some more gas in the existing struts (thinking around 550) and seeing if that helps at all. Doubt it though, I just put 60KG on the...

    Stockman Pod Trailer - DIY Upgrade Installations

    I've reached out to to Gas Struts Australia and will be having a call with them tomorrow to discuss whether they believe a gas strut upgrade will cut it, or whether I'll need to rearrange the placements of the struts as Stockman do themselves. Personally it makes sense you'd have to change...

    Stockman Pod Trailer - DIY Upgrade Installations

    This is the existing setup, the struts are 585mm, 18mm-8mmand 385NM force. I thought about just upgrading these struts to 22mm-10mm with 700NM but i'm concerned it'll put too much force on the roof structure with the lightweight attachment points there, and also the position of the struts means...

    Stockman Pod Trailer - DIY Upgrade Installations

    Hi everyone! I just purchased a second hand Stockman Pod Trailer 'All-Roada' model as we have officially run out of room in our Forester with the 3 kids in the back. This particular trailer has the stockman roof bars, and also came with a Rola platform tray mounted on top. The unit, however...
