Any updates on performance of the reinforced axle or have you not made any trips yet?

Hey Toyanvil how are your axle reinforcement brackets working out? It looks like they should really solve the problem of the distance between the frame and the wheels from a lay persons point of view.
Heck, your fix may be worth patenting before some manufacturer subcontracts a Chinese metal fabricator to mass produce them.

Toyanvil's solution sure looks like a fine fix, but for the time and dollars involved, I think the "splint" that offgrid did would probably be all that anyone actually needs. Yes, that is an opinion.

No trips yet this year, life is getting in the way of camping for me this spring unfortunately. Just some local short tows so far, back and forth to the "high" ground I park my rig on to avoid flooding from the nor'easters. |

I am working on my axle reinforcement. I did a write-up in my mods with pictures of what I have so far. I hope to get it installed tomorrow. If not tomorrow, Saturday. This is the specific link for the post: http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712&PID=124418&title=our-escapod-mods#124418 |

The axle reinforcement project is finished. I have a picture in my mods. I hope to be able to test it on the road soon.
