Rhinos F150 build. its slow but its here!

[Rhino]

with the sale of some of the civic parts we have been looking at trailers to haul dirtbikes with. at first was looking at enclosed trailers but after a bit of looking at some and prices we have decided to just buy a toy hauler instead. 2 birds with 1 stone kind of thing! the issue is weight... my truck can tow 8500lbs and ive got plenty of power to do anything i want buuut i would prefer the trailer to be a certain weight only! not a big fan of massive crazy heavy trailers! id prefer to be in 4-5k range on dry and gvwr isnt the biggest deal to me since i dont plan to hit the max of 7500-8500. ive been looking and there sadly isnt many in this weight and size range of 25ft or less. atm ive looked at two forest river toy haulers but sadly the reviews are pretty poor on them! even thou i like the layout a lot the reviews of problems and issues kinda scares me away from them!

i did find another trailer brand but this brand it seems was released in 2025 so not much info on them... but i do like the size and the type of trailer it is but idk still doing research on stuff...

id like to state i have looked at older trailers as well but man the weight on those are pretty high up there! but very nicely built trailers just not a fan of the price of 10k on a 04 trailer!

@AzScorpion got a question for you! im thinking of coming down to Arkansas in the eureka springs area this weekend. do you think it would be to muddy to ride dirtbikes around? i know its supposed to rain a good bit this week around the midwests. also do i need to have a plate to ride a dirtbike on the dirt roads and such to explore?

figured id post an updated pic of my truck since its been a hot min.

still the same 2017 but with a 2018-2020 face lift swap plus a coastal offroad plate bumper

new wheels as well and tires... had an issue with 3 tires and two wheels so got to spend all my tax money the second i got it hurrray...

wheels are method nv305 17x8.5 with 0 offset tires are 315/70/17 bfg k03s

all new suspension as well with bilstien 6112s up front and bilstien 5160s in the rear (still kinda want to rebuild my fox 2.5s and put them in the rear the 5160s leave a lot to be desired..) ready lift upper control arms as well. still plan to pull the oem lower control arms and inner and outter tie rods and replace them.

id like new leafs and a set of airbags for the rear but atm its not on my list of priorities with a kiddo now on the way and looking for a different house! so maybe one day lol.

the ole girl isnt as pretty as she use to be anymore... cab is dented from a horse lots of paint chips and scratches from using it like a truck and so on! but she gets used and daily driven unless im ridding my tenere 700 to work. truck is sitting at 106k miles and has been a great truck for us!

I worked with a guy, years and years ago, who told me about the prayer he said before each of his kids were born. I used it before my kid was born.

"Dear God,
Please let my baby be healthy, let them have ten fingers and ten toes.
In Jesus' name,
Amen

Oh, and don't let them be stupid!"


So far, God has answered my prayers. I probably should have asked God to make my kid with an 'off switch' cause he runs from morning to night but... here we are.


Also, congrats on the kiddo! It's a wild adventure.
