Cowboy 4x4 off road CT build

[cowboy4x4]

When we were going to Funnel lake at Coyote flats I forgot to take some action shots of the trailer (oops) but it worked flawlessly here is a poser shot of the clearance but we went over rocks like this on the trail with no problem.

very nice ...

13'7" (163") tip to tail. The box is 103" and the tongue is 60"

EDIT... I shortened the tongue today, I took off 5" so now the tongue is 55" and tip to tail is 13'2" (158")
the FJ door can open all the way and clear the trailer by 1".

are you not concerned about being able to open the hatch while the trailer is cocked over a bit from a turn?

Nice build. Exactly what I am plannign as well. However I would still like it to be a usable 5x8 trailer when not camping. Havent figured that out yet. Question though:

What size material did you use for the receiver on the trailer. Some research shows that real receiver tubing is flash removed (internal weld seam) 2.5 x 2.5 x .233 wall tubing. Is that the box external demensions or the inside measurements?

[cowboy4x4]

@rb... the dim's are external 2.5 on the outside. Trailer tongue material has a better fitment than regular square tube also the corners are rounded a bit more.
You could always make the rear kitchen a modular unit where it could slide in and then bolt it down. I almost did that but I have more things in the trailer ie;shelves, under bed storage so it was going to be more of a hassle. But a removable kitchen may work for you.

Subscribing!
I dig the square box trailers.

Thanks. yea throwing ideas around. I can brainstorm forever, but then the project will never get started or even finished. One day I will sit down and just start it. But I can still have a really solid suggestive plan I want to follow.

That's funny, I looked all over the place and I can't seem to find your trip report for this run up to Funnel Lake. Did you see many people up there? Hook us up. I was there last year and it was epic.

Jeff.... I just posted up the trip report for Coyote flats....Had a good time, there were more people there than I have seen before.

Happy day..... My new side door came UPS, I've had everything on hold for the trailer until I was able to get this. Now once I install the door I can finish the kitchen and start moving forward with the build. Will post up install pics this weekend.
