DIY Tear Drop Part 12 - Installing the Electrical System
Another great project down, we are working on the electrical system for this trailer. I was able to get the bulk of the wiring ran while I was building the trailer so that the wires were hidden behind all of the wall panels. In this video we are adding the final components to the system with a 100aH AGM battery, 6 gang fuse block, and a Renogy solar charger. Next video we will be doing the cooler and finishing up the back end of the trailer before we make doors.

Sprint Car Rock Crawler Rear 4 Link Suspension Build Out || Legacy 4x4
Nice fabrication work. I run over a lot of brush and trees on my overgrown 180 acres of Alabama. Small trees try to spring up between the bumper and the tire, eventually smashing the fenders in until anything is strong enough to get in between your tire and your frame. Same between all wheels and the rock sliders too. Could ignore the rear, but I make my own trails and that requires backing up sometimes. The other thing is large branches or leaning trees that ride up over the hood and hit the windshield, so you need a smooth guide that picks it up from the bull bar and smoothly lifts it to the roof rack. This is done slowly so the forces aren't impact, but I need to push stuff out of my way without getting out in all the sticker bushes. It kind of looks like yours is optimized as a roll cage, which I personally don't need, other than I sometimes knock down a small tree that's holding up a big tree that fell long ago. If I don't notice, I get some pretty big stuff falling on my cab. I never go fast, I'm too busted up to take the beating, so I'm not a rollover risk, which makes me think I could save some metal in that area, over the type of off-road I used to do.
The Wellmade Tear Drop Fenders Look Good .
I need to learn the wiring first, then come back to this. I'll check out you other videos and save this for later.
I know this is an old video but the website is down. Donyou have a copy of the BOM and wiring diagram?
You can use baby oil to remove the bedliner from your skin.
Do you have a parts list? I'm doing an SM465 10 spline and an lm7 5.3 amd im curious what parts you used and some info on clutch sizes Is this what you did? Flywheel- Sachs NFW1050 Clutch kit- Exedy 04081 Flywheel to crank bolts - ARP 330-2802 Pressure plate bolts - ARP 134-2201 Pilot bearing - GM 12557583 Thank you so much, great build!!
180 ounces? Since there is 168 ounces in a gallon, I think you will need some larger mixing cups 😅 Let's just stick with calling it 180 units. Good video. I like your idea of the posters.
Nice, very professional build. I'm also impressed at how well presented the info. Thank you. I would, however, like to get the files that you've referenced. You link states the website is shut down. Once again thank you for your time and effort.
What kind of headers
FUME: A respiratory irritant; small hot metal particulate matter as the result of welding. VAPOR: A respiratory contaminant; atomized gas, resulting from a liquid changing states to a gas do to temperature change or Venturi effect. Oh, that is most certainly NOT a 90 Bronco II. Regardless, not a bad sounding exhaust 😉👍
WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS BUILD ? ? ? ? ?
Obs has the Australian headlights kit i hwve an 89 that been waiting for me to buy it a motor and have a few other things done 😢😢
What do you do to connect the rails to each other (extand the rails)?
Lower the cage top so it doesn’t look like mega kind and extend it to the rear, nice fab skills and I’m a little butt hurt about the mint hood that just got bobbed but it was for a greater outcome
What spring combination are you running in the Sam?
Terrific effort. I have recently seen an aluminum one that is too pricey. Might consider doing my own creation, now the ice is broken. I like the idea of ripping everything off that steel frame. 👍
How much does it weigh without the Hi-Jack? Thanks!
Moving right along!
I had a good alignment shop in my area replace the front upper control arms (bushings were cracked) and install new shocks (Bilstein 5100 with the adjustable leveling rings) a month ago for my 2011 F150 FX4. They leveled the truck, but It’s still slightly nose down, just not nearly as raked as it was from the factory. I then got new tires (Falken Wildpeak A/T4w replacing worn out Bridgestone Dueler Revo 2s of the same size) and had the truck aligned again to give myself a headstart on Houston potholes ( the camber is slightly negative). At low speeds and bumps the new suspension and tires are great but I'm disappointed in the highway driving performance. The truck requires a lot of driver attention to keep it on track compared to previously. I have to make small adjustments as if the steering is loose. It's tiring. Has anyone else had this issue when they leveled their F150 of this era with the Bilsteins?
UPDATE: After 3 alignments, a balance, and a rotation, it turns out the problem was with the Wildpeaks. Falken provided a concession and exchanged for a Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3 set. Exponentially better performance on the road. The new tires feel stable and firm without being rough. I'm impressed by Falken's customer service, but unfortunately, they need to work out some kinks with the Wildpeak AT4Ws, in my opinion.
Nice 👍. So where is the 1st place your gonna camp in it ?
This Is Good Idea Especially When Living Off Road Grid Trails.
I wonder of making a dash out of "pillow cushins." Foam and wrapped in aplosherty would would
I built a camper out of the back of my 94 Bronco and camp in it often. I just found your channel and I am impressed by your work. I can’t wait to see the finished product.
Looking forward to seeing the finished product
Rad! I actually watched your vide just for learning how to attach the drawers to metal instead of wood.
Really love the seat covers need to get some for my truck. Where did you order them from?
Looks great Jake! Did you ever consider in-floor storage boxes near the side door? I always wanted shallow storage, maybe 6-8 inches deep, just for light stuff? Seemed it would have been a great addition for quick access dry storage for the mundane things one might need to get to quickly. Looking forward to seeing your fender buildout and remaining work.
I did consider in floor storage and ultimately decided against it due to my time constraints on this build. You can most certainly do it if you have more time. The way I built this the mattress sits directly on top of the floor and eats up all of the available space. If I were to do anything under it I would have to move the mattress every time to access whatever is there, and I did not want to have any more external doors than I already have for ease of waterproofing. That front storage box that I built in is very large and has plenty of room for stuff and I am planning on making some organizers for it to make access easier. The rear sections will have three easy access doors for coolers, batteries, and camp equipment. We will see how it does during this trip and there may be some modifications on future builds.
@@Legacy4x4andOffRoadYT Yes, your front storage is gi-normous!
The cove is horrible
How far does that center tube come past the 8 foot trailer base? It looks like its around 3-4 feet? so 11-12 foot tube? Thanks
Also do you think I could use 1x1 with both sides at 45 as gussets instead of the plates? I dont have a plasma cutter 😓
With a sharp enough turn (90 degrees) do you have to worry about the back of your vehicle hitting the angled tubes attached to the receiver hitch?
Hey the total center tube was 12ft long, it is an 8ft trailer and a 4ft tongue which I found to be the best for the size. You can certainly use 1x1 to make the gussets not necessary to use the plate like that. Honestly those plates are probably overkill especially if you follow along with the rest of teh build by the time you get all the uprights in and everything else this trailer is very very rigid. I am not worried about jackknifing while towing, with a four foot tongue there is plenty of space to turn about. Of course with any bumper pull trailer there is always a risk of that but it is far more common during reversing than it is during normal driving.
@@Legacy4x4andOffRoadYT Really appreciate the response. I'm doing almost an identical build and am looking forward to watching yours progress!
Be careful when sealing your TD. Ya dont want it 100% sealed. People have died in their sleep . My cargo trailer has 1/4" gaps in the rubber gaskets around the door's. Enjoying the build. 👍
thank you I have heard of this, I am installing a fan on the roof to cycle the air, and there will be a sliding window on the main door that will be bale to slide to create a little cross flow through the trailer. Thanks for the tip!
looks awesome man, i might use some of your design on my truck
Great! I love the look of it
I'm not a welder. When I built my 5x8 I went with a sandwiched wall design. 1/4" interior plywood, 1x2 internal framing with 1/2 solid foam between, and 1/8" exterior skins (all construction adhesive bonded and screwed). Super light weight side and top panels. Fiberglass and resin over exterior for weather protection. I think my trailer came in at just around 950lb empty. I really need to learn to weld. A note on your galley hatch, I hope you have better sealing success than I did. It was a bear to achieve. I wish I had gone with just a simple square and flat back, provides easier sealing and a larger "awning" for the galley. Great work! I think you'll want windows on both sides for cross ventilation, but I'm in Florida and we have slightly different temps/humidity here.
I strongly considered that type of design but ultimately decided this would work better for me with my skill set. Thank you for the tip on the rear hatch, i think i have a plan for sealing the hatch but time will tell. And for cross ventilation I defintely considered adding more windows and I put the steel in the frame in case I want to add one in the future but for now I am going to be doing just one window on the door and the fan vent in the roof. I will mostly be camping in the Northern US in VA/PA and out west in Wyoming/Montana
I tried to hit your website to get the full parts list but the site has expired. Is there an updated site? Thanks, I really like the build.
60/40 rule, I built a 5x8 off a HF 4x8 trailer. It had a rear kitchen and I just moved the axel to 1/3 the length. It towed fine.
Thank you! That was what I ended up going with, just shy of 60/40 and though I havent hooked it up yet it feels very stable on the ground and can easily wheel around my yard.
Tear Drop trailers rule
💯
Thank you Billy
Not a bronco 2
Nice! I think 5x8 is the perfect size. What height were you planning on? The way the center tube ends in the rear, you planning for a rear receiver on the trailer?
What size inverter?
2500 watt
Good job 😊
Thank you so much 😀 i am very happy with it so far
holy cow... you painted with no resperator ? this has to be a joke
probably shouldve but i am outside so cest la vie
Man I get you didnt want do do the body work but dam... you really need to ask someone how to spray pait LOL
never said i was a professional
that is interesting, I actually thought of the same thing. to put a bead around the pipe to form a bulge or whatever its called to help keep the hose on. I don't have a fancy machine to roll that in there. but im still not sure if thats the way to do it, lol.
it worked! Thank you for watching
That rear end pinched
Very
What stapler did you get
That turned out great!
Thank you!
looks great. nothing wrong with a few exposed pipes and hoses.
