Thanks! I built it from a M416 military trailer that I was able to pickup for a good price. Used the tub, axle and part of the frame, and made all the rest of it.

I'd love to see some more pics of it if you dont mind. How does the front storage open? Is it hinged in the same spot that the main lid is? Then what does the back tailgate look like?

Can you or someone else tell me how you got the stock jk wheels to attach to the axle on the trailer. I've been looking to do that and it looks like my best bet is some custom, thick wheel spacers. Any details would be very appreciated.

Here are some of my planned add on's for this winter will be:

JK
Roof Rack (probably for use with hardtop only)
Rock Rails w/step plates
Rear bumper / tire carrier and storage
Airbags for the rear to better control support and height when using trailer
New shocks
Engine oil pan skid plate
Evap skid plate
Interior storage system of some type (to keep better organized)

Trailer
RTT
Modify my 4 place bike roof rack (not in any of my pictures) so it could be used with RTT if needed
Awning
Interior storage system of some type (to keep better organized)

------

Working on designing and building most of this stuff myself, cost and my wants are always a factor.

Let's see some more posts of other's rigs and trailers if possible so I can get more ideas!
