Thanks, Yes me and a buddy built it. It has been to a couple of metal shops for some bending of sheet metal but all in all it was custom build. After I got it done I changed a few things. Very happy with it. Iam going to bedline the tub soon.

Been looking around for a year and couldn't find what we wanted. Started designing one to build ourselves when I ran across this manufacturer that had what we wanted. Plus the dealer was 45 mins. away. All aluminum frame and wall structure, weighs around 900 pounds. Only 5" wider than the JK so it can get down two tracks. Fits in the garage. Roof racks for kayaks and bikes. Wired for a battery, inverter, 120VAC 30A. LED lights. Super fantastic vent fan. Doubles as a utility trailer. Back door ramp to be able to load large stuff like lawn mower. Four tie downs inside. 5'x8' aluminum floor. 4' inside height. Works perfect for the two of us. We just wanted hard sides, low maintenance, trailer easily with the two door or four door (light and small frontal area), and a dry comfortable place to sleep. I did a 4" lift on it. Microlite trailers is the manufacturer. Cargolite is the model.
