Thanks again for bringing my trailer load of stuff from RN down on your return Matthew !
Saved a bunch of cabbage and time.
130 chassis are long mothers.
Jim I had trailer envy with yours and mine side by side. Same length but mine weighs 2k more.

No problem Doug, that trailer was a “buy once, cry once” sort of thing. Fortunately I cried 12 years ago and it’s still doing its thing. Glad Matt was able to kill several birds with that trip.

Zack - After seeing your front fender pics, I'm thinking of doing my inner wells with Line-X when I pull the front clip off for R2.8 install and paint of fenders/bulkhead. I know you haven't driven it yet but what made you do it?

Also how makes the front spring retainer? I have a long shock Fox and the LR HD springs don't seat too well when twisted.

I actually bought them off Chris Rice already raptor lined white, so they just got installed as-is

Lower spring retainer is a YRM piece, part of the full spring retainer set we sell - https://www.roversnorth.com/parts/rna0086_spring_retainer_vehicle_set_defender_110_130

Upper cones are our proline ones, but most companies sell similar

I have noticed with my few year old galvy stuff that while it lasts a long time it isn't bullet proof to the elements. On my seatbox the boxes I left galvinized but the floors and box I had Line-X'd. After some winter driving I could just wipe the crap off the Line-X where it was much harder to clean the galvinized pieces. Same with my wheelwells hence I've been thinking plastic ones or Line-X. The Line-X fads a bit but still good for a top layer underneath.

I'll look up the upper cones. I'm debating make my own or a Gwyn Lewis product.
