thanks cali
i appreciate the compliments and am glad the build was entertaining.
hopefully itll help anyone wanting to do a similar build themselves.
im really excited to go test it out this wknd at big bend national park
it rained a BUNCH today down there so all the unmaintained roads are pretty washed out and it will be very muddy everywhere.
itll be perfect for testing out the new trailer.
ill post lots of photos of it in action as well as a video.
once i get back ill fine tune it as needed.

was going to post an update on here but the photo uploader wasnt cooperating at all
i gave up after three failed attempts
so instead here's a link to the sister build thread over on wayalife forum: click here for link
any future updates including photos and videos and further additions to the trailer will be posted there instead
sorry for any inconvenience fellow jk-forum folks...

here are a few short and shakey video clips of the trailer 
pardon the shakiness, my fiance is still working on her trail video skills
first is on a maintained national park road going over some bowling ball sized rocks
the second is bouncing out of an 18" rock crevice
the third is just climbing up a slight grade
fourth is a little dry creek bed and you can see the trailer tilting opposite of the jeep a little bit
