Oh yeah, and a hell of a lot of grinding and sanding. I ended up with two sets of wheels and tires to match what I run on my rig in winter or summer.
Meh
It wasn't official
And wasn't used
and I never saw one that was strictly about trailers

Here is mine that I am building from scratch. It has been fun. Just waiting on it to warm up so I can paint it!

Here is mine, it was an old 1960's model Sears & Robuck trailer that I modified.

Nice job, well done! (Just too bad that Sears is going down the tube; been shopping there for ever and a day, incl. their big catalogs)

Here's mine. It used to be a small boat trailer. Its been 2 weeks of work to get it to this point. The sides are 18 gauge steel and it's tough as nails. It's still light enough that I can lift it completely off the ground by myself. I'm currently trying to find a new axle so I can go with matching jk wheels. I have plans for a water tank with pressurized water and on board batteries with a power inverter. It will also have a steel lid with a kayak carrier, cargo storage on the tongue and a propane grill that attaches / detaches to the tongue with a hitch pin.

You could only replace the hubs with matching Jeep pattern and keep your axle to save money for now.
