From the Lifetime site: trailer weighs about 700lbs, the tent weighs 25lbs. I figure the tool box and battery setup probably weigh a combined 80-100lbs. Load on all the gear, I am probably sitting somewhere in the 1300-1500lb range. Once I add the bigger axle and tires, figure another 100-125lbs. Not bad at all. I got 12mpg heading down there, 13.5mpg on the way back, and I averaged 6.8mpg on the trail...lol.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Making some progress. Axle hopefully here before next weekend! Been working on the trailer spare all week, finally finished. I may need to add some gussets to the top of the rail, it has some flex since the bottom leverage point is only a few inches below the rail, but I will have to wait and see. I may be able to move the whole thing down based on how the trailer sits on the new tires, and just add a skid plate. I don't want to catch the tire on the ground and rip the entire tailgate off
