Building this to match my truck, beadlocks and all. Below is the original rendering I had done and as it progressed a few things changed.

Can't wait for more on this.

Also, I'd love some Method beadlocks. I really like their wheels.

Very very nice trailer. Impressive build, it will almost be a shame to get it dirty, but I envy your opportunity. I will be watching this build closely as I am building an aluminum framed tear drop over the summer.

Truly seems to be a work of art so far DefconBrix. Maybe, being in Utah I will see it on the trails some day. Simply gorgeous!!!!!!

This is my second set of Methods and I absolutely love them! Plus, they are a very reasonable price!

Thanks!
It will get dirty but I can assure you it won't stay dirty lol
I would love to "run into" each other someday! You can get a hands on look at the build for any inspiration on your build.

Looks great! When I was trying to figure out if I'd go DIY or purchase a custom built trailer I sent a couple emails to VMI to get a quote and they never replied. I'm only a hour or so away so it would have been a great fit, DIY for me it was

That does suck, definitely not the experience I am having I have even had some late night cell phone conversations on brainstorming for my build.

If I lived an hour away I would be showing up at their door or calling them every 5 minutes lol

Sometimes the DIY method is fun to tackle though if you have the time, space and know how. I simply have none of that so busting out the wallet for the professionals is my preferred method. I would simply have to many errors to correct in the long run, personally.

I will be going up to WA in a few weeks to pick up my trailer actually, you should meet me there and check out their operation if you have some free time.

Cheers!

Hi jays0n
With our rapid growth, it's becoming clear that our website is having difficulties keeping up. We have had a couple instances where we have missed requests and are working hard to trouble shoot the issue, be it software, hardware or human error! Sorry we missed you on this, we are looking long and hard at a way to better manage internet inquiries instead of the current "contact us" template. Thanks for the heads up - it would be great to see some pics of your build!

Here are a few misc items that will be going in the trailer when loaded up:

ARB 63qt Fridge/Freezer with Transit Bag


FrontRunner Outfitters Wolf Pack Storage Boxes


Yamaha 2000i Generator/Inverter


Random storage pop-up I saw at Costco - figured it would be great for chips, bread etc
