home built (sort of) off road chaser trailer
Spent about 4 mos. compiling all the pieces and formulating a plan for this trailer. Not to pretty I know, but extremely functional. here are some shots and evolutions.

maiden voyage 1k miles round trip to Bridgeport, Tahoe, and back all freeway no off road.

A close up of the pintle set up I made reversing a standard hitch and using a lucete loop insert.

Here is a shot of the LED tail lights mounted, in the first pic you see I was using magnet mounted lights.

This is a shot of the Solar panels from the backside, these will only be up when stationary they are glass and would prob. break otherwise.
As you can see a bit more to go with the finishing touches and paint, but I am on my way, and under 2k including welding at a FAB shop.

these are 3500# spindles and hubs, the copilovers are off of a T-rex four seater like a rhino. The lug on the hubs is a special 5 on 5 to match the jeep and the tires are the same as my jeep 37's. The trackbar was necessary to eliminate sway. I have researched all trailer suspension designs and went with this because it is doable with a budget. airbags and full independent trailing arms as well as dampners would have cost 5 times as much. It works great on road 70+ no prob in a 1k test run, but we'll see off road, I am taking it to rocktoberfest. It rides high when empty and is level when loaded.

I need to figure a way to make some legs that fold or find a store bought solution to put on top of the lid so i can fold it all the way open and make a table, any thoughts???

Could you take some pictures of the suspension, I can see that it's not a typical trailer suspension and I'm curious
