Expedition Trailer for Sale

Trailer is sold - Thanks.

I have a custom 1 of 1 trailer that has been on one test run for sale.

Due to injury shortly after build I can no longer risk going where the trailer design and build would allow.

I am new to the forum and not certain I can attach photos, if not maybe someone on the forum can assist.

Hmmm.. I like it. I like a lot. I like it too much. That's a darn attractive price, and you are not too far away. Hmmmm...

Thank goodness. You'll remove the temptaion from this weak Overlanding Soul of mine. :sombrero: Until I sell my 1989 Bronco I have no space to store a trailer. I just want a trailer and I don't have a good reason. Waaaah!

 

[gasman]

wow that is a good price for a ready made ready to use unit

 

[nwoods]

Heading over there tonight. I don't think it's quite ready to use for extended travel yet. It needs some finishing touches, but it sure looks like a good platform to start from.

 

[teotwaki]

Well? Updates?

Sorry! I've met the seller twice now, and anticipate delivery on wednesday. He's tinkering with a few items so that's it's "just right" when I take delivery. He's a very cool guy! I took photos yesterday, but haven't loaded them into the computer yet. Maybe this afternoon?

Great! I'm excited for you! :victory:

Here are some images:

This isn't the normal coupler, but I plan on getting one from AT soon, so it's just temp holder. It does rotate and swivel on all axis's though, and it's long with several holes predrilled for tailoring the ride and tongue weight via adjustable length. I might keep it awhile... need to test it.

The rear hatch is being worked on. It's heavy duty, strong enough for two men to sit on, but he's redoing the cable supports and exterior latches before I pick it up on Wednesday

Main box and nose box

It has a built in 20 gallon aluminum tank between the frame rails (flush to bottom of frame). Tank has 4 internal baffles running both directions, and fills easily, sorta like a gas cap. The discharge is gravity feed, at bottom of tank, via this 1" fitting that is sorta like an air fitting. Flows 3-4 gallons a minute reportedly. Access to the bottom fitting is a bit fussy, and my wife will want a shower set up, so I will need to think about this part soon.

It has a nice looking torsen bar suspension set up.

In summary, this trailer is definitely a homebrew, but well thought out and pretty well executed. It's not as polished as an AT, but should offer excellent functionality and fills a need that my family really needs. My only concerns are what the impacts to the Jeep are going to be (power/gearing), fuel, brake controllers/harness, etc... I might need to regear the Jeep and get the extended fuel tank. Sigh... baby steps.

It is also fully prewired internally, there is a 10 gauge cable from the battery box to the rear for a fridge, and a bunch of lighter gauge stuff for lights, accessory power, etc.. It runs through the frame tubes and up the box looking risers in the rear of the cargo area (inside)

 

[teotwaki]

Thanks for the PIX! Still looks to be a good price for the package for a guy that is unafraid to be hands-on.
