    Thanks,

    However, it's too light for sustained off road use, at least for where I plan to go.

    I bought it from a fellow Jeeper and overall, it's helped me figure out what I'll need to factor in on a scratch built effort, as I consider the box size perfect for my needs.

    I took it down some washboard desert road a few weeks ago to see how it would function.

    At around seven miles, the right fender was falling off and I was concerned that the structural integrity of the frame would be compromised after a sustained pounding.

    I'm building a similar size, but on heavier tubing with shocks as soon as I get my garage wired for the welder I just purchased.

    It makes a great little around town trailer and tows well at high speeds.

I have to store the three shelf sections flat, inside the trailer on the carpeted floor, then all other gear goes on top. I'm in the sign business and the shelves are cutoff material from sign jobs. They are an aluminum/plastic/aluminum sandwich, 10mm thick, and weigh nearly nothing. The (six) shelf brackets are stored in a duffle bag inside the trailer as well. They are hinged square tube and fit into uni-strut brackets which are welded to the trailer frame. The brackets easily attach with a quarter twist of a knob. The shelves sit on the brackets with pins but can be secured with a nut as well. One person can roll out the awning, attach the shelves (counter top) and have running water in the sink in about 10 to 15 minutes, which is quicker than setting up my Costco tent I might add.

    And just about everything about this trailer originated on this website. Talented folks here!
    Nice 10-15 min sounds pretty good to me. It takes us that long to pull all the crap out of the back of the truck, let alone set it up. Recently got a Ben Hur trailler that I am starting to plan out. I might have to steal the unistrut idea. along with plenty of other ideas on here.

    Thanks,

    Mike and Myles

    Default AT Trailer, '09 Tacoma in Death Valley, Spring 2011

    I thought I would share a couple of shots of my '09 Tacoma and Adventure trailer in Death Valley this spring. Temperatures from 10-90 degrees depending on altitude. Perfect!
    Thanks everyone for sharing your photos.
