Turtleback Trailer Major Upgrades - Telling Our Story Part 2

[@dougg8280]

Jeff, you hit it out of the park! I hope Turtleback is watching. You solved so many of the issues I have had. Those plastic liners inside the storage unit are junk. Those leaky lights fixed. That kitchen is awesome. I want to install a bladder tank to stop the pump from cycling so much. I love those boxes around the fenders. I am curius how much you are going to use air in the kitchen. My guess you will get hooked on that. Solving the kitchen in the rain is great. I have always hated the rain back there. Top notch work. It looks like you found another top-notch company to work with.

@@dougg8280 Thanks Doug. So many of these ideas were yours first. We just borrowed them. That diamond plate you sent looks great. I sure the kitchen air hose will get lots of use. If only the Hummer transmission went this smoothly. We are so blessed to have found Randy at Siker Fabrication.

What a great video, touching on so many opportunities to improve our Turtlebacks, thank you. You’ve officially unlocked my Turtleback project list for 2025😂

[@TsarTrail]

😂😂😂 They are great trailers. With a little room to make them amazing. Thank you!!

That’s a lot of tasteful mods to make it more customized for you guys. It’s quite literally your home remodel right now. Can’t wait to see it in person

[@TsarTrail]

@@VDawg-cr1gb if only we had a working tow vehicle. 🤣🤣🤣

[@NA-mk6ju]

That’s was a lot of work. Looks great

[@TsarTrail]

@@NA-mk6ju yes, lots of work.

[@user-tj3yi9zj4m]

this is great thank you!!

[@TsarTrail]

@@user-tj3yi9zj4m Thank you!!!

I love the idea for the boxes on the fenders. Would love to have one for the area by the rear passenger side. You wanna sell them? 😂

[@TsarTrail]

We can ask our fabricator friend Randy to price it out if you would like. We have had a lot of interest in the work he has done.

[@planboverland8736]

lol, I hate those fuel cans too. Most of those mods could be done by Turtleback and they could compete with Patriot better. Great upgrades.

[@TsarTrail]

@@planboverland8736 Yes, TB could definitely do more with their trailer. It’s very good but really comes up short compared to the Gen 3 Patriot trailers. But then again. The TB is less money than the gen 3.

[@Derek-OverwaterOverland]

@@TsarTrail I have been working with TB and the new owner is not receptive to suggestions for upgrades. It's really quite sad.

[@TsarTrail]

@ That is the truth. We were close with the Arizona guys/owners and they were great. The new owners are not the same. We tried to work with them on a few things but got no traction.

[@Derek-OverwaterOverland]

@@TsarTrail He doesn't understand the community at all. He basically refused to fix my trailer(after working to quote repairs and prebuild parts) and now it is getting totaled by insurance. I am picking up another used one this weekend though! 🤣 What a pain in the @$$. He doesn't want influencers/ambassadors/or any social media presence beyond advertising. It's going to backfire on him!

[@TsarTrail]

@ Yes it is. Ken and Berry in Arizona were invested in making the trailer better each year and building the community. That is all lost. The brand is already suffering and needs new ownership.

i had to smash the like button. this is great #herd !

[@TsarTrail]

@@user-tj3yi9zj4m Awesome, thank you.

[@Derek-OverwaterOverland]

Who did the work? I would like to add the rails and diamond plate to the front of mine

[@TsarTrail]

@@Derek-OverwaterOverland Siker Fabrication in Colorado Springs. If we get enough interest we might bulk order some kits.
