    Default New Adventure Trailer + Story Pt 3 of 3

    Continued from Part 2....

    Just about done



    Built and ready for shipping





    Pallet custom built for each trailer for shipping. They build pallets like they do trailers. VERY STRONG!







    Packing was done perfectly. 3 days later it arrived at the FEDEX Freight depot completely unharmed. FEDEX placed the pallet in the middle of the parking lot, I unpacked it, added air to the suspension then drove it away.

    The completed setup. the trailer is actually sitting a little low compared to the Jeep. That's my fault as I don't have the correct amount of air in the trailer air bags. When it's correct, the trailer is exactly the same height as the Jeep (Both running 35 MTR's on 15x8's)



    The trailer will be used almost weekly next year with plans to maybe run the Rubicon and explore the Mohave next spring. The big plans right now though is a 3 week expedition to Baja Oct/Nov 08 (just before the 08 Baja 1000). Dates are booked and now for the planning……

    Mike, great write ups and story on your trips. That was great the Mario and AT got you hooked up with a rental and everything. The new Chaser looks great with the Rubi. I can't wait to own one some day. Have fun with the new toy.

    When did you get this trailer, Mike?

    You didn't have it with us in Moab in may. Good write-ups and pics.
    I still have a CD full-o-pics for you.

    Hey Jamie. No I didn't have it in May. We decided to order one after we got tired of the packing/unpacking required for wheeling/camping with the family. It always helps when the wife says, "I think we need to get a trailer."

    I would love to get those photos if you can send them on. If you don't have the address PM me.
