That is an astonishingly cool project. Holy shit, I can't tell you how excited I am to see how it turns out. Love those old classics, oh I'd kill for one of the teardrop trailers or an Airstream. Man, I can't wait to see your build thread when you're done.

 

Sick bumper! Looks awesome !

 

is this the HF 4x8 trailer? I'm looking to pick one up to tow my quad. I want to hear your feedback on it.

 

Well I did nothing to my JK....... except buy it! I've wanted one for years, but it all came together 3/15/2014

Installed some OEM rubi-rails

 

Refinished my hood, the top pic was only after 6 months. Won't use that paint again lol

 

It is the 1700lb model. It is what it is. It's not a solid long tube trailer like you'd get from Rice trailers but it is also much cheaper. By the time you put a floor on it should be plenty solid for a 4 wheeler.

Agreed. I have the folding model and use it for picking up lumber and plywood. I might think twice about taking it for long highway trips but around town it's perfectly fine. Tip - repack the wheel bearings yourself. Look for coupons and sale prices (which can be combined) and you can get the folding model for roughly $250 out the door. I spent another $100 on a spare tire, wiring conduit and a plywood floor. Folds and stands up on casters in a space 2.5' x 5' x 6.5' tall.
I traded a Titan pickup for my JK in 2012 and this trailer is how I 'replaced' the truck bed. It's been a perfect solution!

 

Looks great, enjoy it !

 

I want an expedition teardrop trailer soooo bad. If only I had a spare $20k laying around for a Moby1 XTR. Can't wait to see the build thread!
