Hey all,
Selling a trailer we had made for us that we used to take gear to some shows. It's never been off-road or stressed in any way and is only 4 months old. Lived in dry Santa Fe, NM it's whole life.

So here goes:

It's all steel, (11-gauge if I remember correctly). The chassis is all steel, 2x3" 14-gauge square tubing.
Axle is an Alko Torsion 3500#
Wheels are 15" steel, with 205x75x15 tires

The boxes are all separate, and can be taken off individually or kept as is.They're bolted to the chassis.
Main box is 4ft x5ft x22". (Rear hatch will NOT accommodate a slide-out fridge)
Side boxes are 10"x5ftx22"
Tongue box will accommodate a 50qt fridge/freezer.

All boxes have locks (paddle- or T-handle) and all on the same key.
Trailer is wired, and full LED's all-round. The boxes are also all powder-coated. (All the stickers can also simply be pulled off if you don't feel like advertising :elkgrin:for me

Before I get all sorts of comments: This trailer is NOT good for the Rubicon or similar trails! It is not a crawling/wheeling trailer. It was not designed or built for that purpose. It WAS built as a heavy duty carrier for supplies and equipment and is a great height for tents etc. It has great clearance, and excellent approach and departure angles. It is equipped with a standard 2" ball hitch mount. It is GREAT for people who want more space, and need an uncomplicated, customizable platform.
The rear bumper has a 2" receiver built in for bikes, extensions etc. it also has stabilizers on each corner. Access can be gained from either the top or the back. Both top loading lids have pretty heavy duty gas shocks.
I had welded a steel plate into one of the side doors to allow for a stove to be bolted on.

There are some points for improvement - the sealing can all be replaced to provide better waterproofing. I have a couple packs that will go with the sale.

so, let me know if anyone is interested and I'd be happy to answer questions. I'm happy to take whatever hi-res pics are requested.

I'll be driving on 1-40 from Santa Fe to SC in 10 days time, so can deliver anywhere en-route, or arrange a central location to transfer to a buyer.

Asking $4500 OBO.
Don't bother lowballing me or criticizing it's build or design! I'm just trying to sell a frikkin' trailer I don't need anymore.

Cheers

Looks like a decent trailer for someone, but you should post it in the for sale forum. Good luck with the sale and awesome delivery option.

You're absolutely right XJ! It should be in the FS section!

Thanks Lance for moving that for me. Grateful.

Thanks on the design. You know, I really like it, and someday we'll put it into production because I see a far bigger market than Expo. But I have 3 trailer coming from Jurgens, so need some space in the driveway!

Hope you're doing well.

Shameless bump -
Also just wanted to state that this trailer was built by a licensed experience trailer manufacturer, and the trailer comes with a certificate of origin.

What's the dry weight and tongue weight?
What are the overall deminsions? Are you headed to the northwest anytime?

Just curious, how did you install the crossbars on the lid? I didn't see anything on the underside of the lid.

I see 4 boltheads on the underside where the crossbar legs are (out at the edge). Nice trailer.

Thanks ThomD,
Yip. Torsion axles. rated for 3500#
I'd also like t say that the chassis is very well designed for a retrofit, should one choose. With very little effort, it could be fitted with springs or whatever you'd like.
