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.

I can see the pics just fine.

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

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.

That is awesome! I'd love having an offroad trailer.

It's all good and to be honest I'm learning a lot about the trailer stuff myself. We are in the process of getting an old Willy's truck bed trailer from my father-in-law that we are going to refurbish and make trail ready. Keep up the good work!

Solar panel control module jump battery and inverter installed and connectors attached



Main storage box sanded and primered gotta wait a couple days before the road stripe yellow paint gets applied.

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???

I'm going to send this to my hubby. He's a fan of using solar panels to power things.
Great job!
