Did you ever get a chance to weigh your trailer. I am considering a pretty similar build on a 5x8 utility trailer I have and it would probably end up near the same weight as yours was.

I saw that you bought the windows from Callen Camper here in San Diego. My best friend's uncle is the owner and they are a great company. I built a teardrop trailer a few years ago when I was 19, although it was pretty basic compared to yours, and I spent some time there getting some pointers...

So I have been in the process of searching for a new home to buy with my girlfriend and money has been a little tight. I did manage to save a little bit of cash and purchased some new parts for the Jeep. I got a pretty good deal from a friend working at Off Road Warehouse on the Currie...

I've debated taking my TJ the last couple of trips to Baja and decided against it for the same reason. I took my F250 instead last time and after eating lunch at some tiny taco hut in Gonzaga Bay, I came back to a few items missing..

Thanks everybody. I hope to get the parts soon so I can get back out on the trail. The stock steering has had about as much abuse as it can take and it isn't really safe to drive at the moment. Thanks! I unfortunately moved out of my home with the best garage I could ask for and into a condo...

Something I should have done first was finish the roll cage. I ordered the Blue Torch Fab Sport cage kit and for the money, it was a pretty good deal. The kit essentially finishes the front portion of the roll cage and comes pre notched including plate cage feet. I added some spreaders in the...

I had read a lot about outboarding my rear shocks and relocating my spring perches and decided this would fix a few issues for me. This will not only increase the shock length that I can run, but by moving the shocks further outboard, they are able to dampen more effectively. I used the TNT...

After a lot of wheeling and highway driving, I realized the short arm setup wasn't going to work. The ride was way too jarring and the front axle tended to walk back under the chassis on climbs. It is time for long arms. Instead of buying a long arm upgrade, I decided to base mine off of the...

I have a little bit of time to kill today so I figured I would post a thread on the build up of my 2006 Rubicon. I bought it 3 years ago, bone stock, from a guy who's wife said 2 jeeps in their garage was too many. 6 speed, 4:10 gears, dana 44 axles, lockers, 4:1 reduction transfer case, hard...

I am a new member on this forum. I have been browsing for a long while, contemplating my decision to build an adventure trailer. I have seen a lot of great trailers on here and I can tell there is an immense amount of talent lurking about on this forum. One thing that I am wondering however, is...
