    Default My New (Used) "Mil Spec Offroad" Trailer

    For those of you who saw my previous thread, I made a decision and purchased the "used" trailer. And I am glad I did - this trailer is great! Yeah, the cargo box is a bit small, but the trailer makes up for it in so many other ways.

    The tongue height is just about perfect for my new custom bumper:





    This thing is built like a brick outhouse! 3500 lb axle, YJ leafs with shocks, d-rings and tie-downs galore, nearly new BFG MT's (with spare, which I wasn't expecting), electric brakes, the list goes on.







    The front jack can be removed and pinned up under the rear of the trailer out of the way. The shocks can be unpinned from the lower mounts, and pinned up out of the way if so desired.



    Can't wait to take it out on the trails...

    Wow, that is beautiful. I think I have pics of that trailer saved somewhere on my computer because I like it so much.

    That is truly sweet, Is it Military or custom built? I thought I had a over built trailer.

    I guess you would call it custom built, but inspired by military trailers. The owner used to build them to sell. But he put so much into them (both materials and man hours), that I guess he couldn't sell enough for what he had in them to stay in business. This was the last one he still had, one of his "show trailers", that had basically been in storage for the last 3 years. I got a great deal on the trailer, and couldn't be happier.

    Nice find!

    I found their web site some time ago when I was looking for off road trailers, and I realized they were local (Lake Elsinore Ca), however when I tried to find them, I didn't have any luck. For some reason the place wasn't where it was supposed to be, and the street numbers didn't seem to match.
    I would have loved to get a close look at that trailer, I was thinking about going that route myself.
    At any rate, keep us posted on how it works out for you.

    Happy Trails!

    Yeah, he is no longer in business. He moved to Oklahoma and is a school teacher now. His website is still out there, but has gone dormant and is infected with a trojan downloader virus. So I wouldn't advise going there unless you have good anti-virus protection. Even Google has a warning on their link to the site.

    What a great find! Post up some pics of it loaded and on the trail if you can. Looks to be very sturdy. Looks good behind your truck.
