2011 Schutt Industries Military LTT-HD Trailer Rebuild
Just purchased a Schutt Industries Light Tactical Trailer/Light Quiet Generator (LTT LQG) to use as the basis for my new build. This trailer uses a very similar frame to the one that Schutt Industries uses in their XVenture XV-1 and XV-2 Adventure Trailers. However, I paid considerably less ($992) than the $12,000 that Schutt asks for the XVenture. Of course, my trailer isn't finished yet, and doesn't have all the goodies either. So, my costs will only go up significantly. The trailer came with 8-lug CUCV truck wheels. These will need to be changed to match the Jeep Rubicon wheels. I have a call into Schutt to check parts availability for 5 on 5 hubs and brakes. They haven't called me back yet. The recovery is planned for next Thursday. Pictures when I pick it up and as I move forward. The GovLiq site will not let me upload the auction pictures.
The new Schutt LTT trailer may stay camo just to be a little different. My plan is to strip the trailer down to the frame and build a new box for it. It was built in 2011. It looks to have some light damage to the aluminum body. It was previously used by the military to haul a generator. Can't wait to pick it up and get started!
My new Overlanding vehicle is a 2013 Jeep Sahara with the MOAB package. The Jeep is nicely outfitted with the 3.6L PentaStar engine, the 5-speed automatic trans but unfortunately has the 3.21 highway gearing. The heated leather seat and remote start are very nice though. I don't plan many upgrades for the Jeep.
