Cooper STT
How do you like those Cooper STTs? Haven't noticed many on this forum with those brand of tires
I've since added a stone guard and also had the electrics fitted and also the water tank is finally on!!
The electrics include a 120amp battery with a CTek Multi 7000XS battery charger, so the battery can charge from the car when driving, charge from mains power if at a caravan park, or it will run the frige for 5 days if in one place in the outback.
Stone Guard:
Battery pack with 35 litre Waeco fridge:
Water Tank (behind the protective shequerplate):

Really sweet looking trailer!
It's got me thinking. I'd love to take some trips out west from my home in Virginia. Places like Colorado, Moab and Rubicon trail. Problem is I can't see myself driving across the U.S. with 35" offroad tires. Rather than getting a pickup & trailer to tow my rig, maybe a better solution would be a custom trailer that would be enclosed to hold 4-5 wheels plus some other stuff, tools, luggage, etc. I could slap on some cheap wheels with pavement treads for better gas mileage. When I get to my wheelin destination I just disconnect the trailer from my JK, swap the road wheels for my trail grapplers and I'm ready for the rough stuff.
Cost of a set of pavement tires & wheels plus a custom trailer should be a lot less than buying a used F-250 and a trailer big enough to haul an entire 2-dr JK.
What do you guys think?

Hub Help?
What kind of hubs did you use for the axles? where did you get them. I have been looking but can't find any that do not have a large hub which fit in the stock rims. Help...?
I have a bigger trailer tent which I take with the whole family, but this one is for when just me and one of the boys go away.
It is a 4'x5' with 59 litre water tank, 35 litre fridge (plus option of a separate 29 litre freezer), Battery which gets charged from the car when hooked up, matching JK alloys with 285/70/17 Cooper STT's, 2 gerry can holders, plus a gas cylinder holder.
