I'm currently building an offroad trailer. I would have finished it last fall ... if I hadn't bought an LJ last summer! It's further along than what's shown below and should be wrapped up this spring. It better be because I'm about to start an offroad tear drop trailer.

Here's my build thread (so far) ...

Thanks teejay. It goes great but I haven't had a chance to go camping with it yet. I have managed a few trips around the neighbourhood and also out on the highway and it trailers well at all speeds. I haven't gone out with it fully loaded but I don't expect any problems. I'm looking forward to going camping with it this spring. Even when it's finished though I'm sure there will always be something else to do to it.

You guys have some kickass trailers, I'll say that much. I'm totally jealous.

Some nice trailers ....
We use longer trailers here with our trucks. My trailer has angle-iron 'shears' from the front leading edge of the fenders to almost the hitch. Inset with rolled expanded iron. This lets you glide around smaller trees/brush, etc. Good place to store fuel cans, etc. With expanded metal, you can bungee anywhere.

sorry for the delay, here is my off road trailer.

Looks like you can haul a lot of gear in that trailer. Did you build it?

i sure can matey! my mate and i did about 6 years ago, he owns his own sheet metal fab joint, so it was no big deal. I designed it and we went about making it at his workshop.

its full GAL, 6x4 or 7x4 if you count the 80L checker plate tool box we made up.

light and strong, very weather resistant. lockable, water and dust proof.

on the ladder rails are GAL bed frames or stretchers. i just throw my swag up there and kip out. easy peezy. they can be taken down, they have legs so you can put them anywhere you wanna sleep, say near the fire or somewhere out of the early morning sun so you dont get fried like an egg. most of the time i just back'er into a nice shady spot and perch up and drink tinnies!

What model military trailer was yours? It looks like a really nice plateform to start a build. I’d love to hear more about it.
