Hi Art, Just wanted to let you know the trailer is sold. Thanks for your interest. Downing

I even bailed out the goldfish bowl for you, lol. It's nice and dry but you should leave it open for a couple of days just to make sure. The yucky yellow color wasn't rust. It was a (now shot) pair of leather gloves. The slime was something else. I'm supposed to knock off work at 3pm but...

Hello, I'm not sure what "bolt pattern" means. I can tell you that the Lock And Roll hitch fits my 2-door 2017 Jeep Wrangler Willys JK just fine. It's two pieces. One slides into the receiver hitch on the Jeep and the other is attached to the um, whatever you call that part of the frame of...

Thanks. I'm not exactly thrilled to be selling it, but happy wife, happy life as they say. I'm just not going to have time to take it anywhere for the next three or four years. I moved it out of our driveway into storage at her insistence, but now she's not happy about the storage fees so I...

I'm selling this trailer due to some changes in my professional life. You can find more information about the trailer on the VMI Off Road website. The basic trailer starts at $8K. I loaded it with the following options: Thule Roof Rack, Lock And Roll Hitch System, Rear Hitch, Rear...

Night trailing in the Cascade Range. And a couple of shots on the Barlow Road, part of the original Oregon Trail.

Contacted my State Farm insurance agency yesterday to get my trailer insured. She said she would get back to me by the end of the day. Sure enough, she called back. Annual premium - $60/year. Covers theft and any damage done to it while being transported. My Wrangler insurance already...

Wow, lots of responses. Thanks. To address them: That Claymore looks interesting, lol. I would love to park it in my garage but unfortunately my wife is being unreasonable and refuses to leave her generic Honda SUV in the driveway. Of course, there's no way I'm going to leave my Jeep...

Mine's parked in the driveway with the tongue facing the street, and I'd rather not have someone drive off with it. I'd rather have it facing my garage, but my driveway's so short that I don't want to risk backing into it. After looking at various options, I decided to run a chain through one...

Lol. Thanks for the tip!

So I shot an email to Mike at VMI and this was his reply: "The Explorer trailer comes with a standard solid foot tongue jack, the Crawler series trailer come with a wheeled version. The Explorers are usually so light they are easier and more maneuverable and really don't need the wheel. It can...

Looks like their website is back up now. I forgot to include a photo of the interior that shows the battery box behind the fridge. That's the refrigerator slide frame on the floor in front of it. I'll attach a photo showing the tailgate latch as well.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to both of you. I just saw these questions. There are two electrical plugs on the drivers side. Both are for charging the dual 140 amp hour 12v DC AGM battery system. The bigger plug is for an extension cord and the smaller one is for a solar panel cord...

Plenty of room for everyone and all points of view. I would have loved to build one myself. Unfortunately, I don't have the space, the tools or the aptitude. That said, I could probably build a crummy one, but I didn't want a crummy one. But I'm not going to knock anyone for their choices...

Drove up to Bellingham on Tuesday, picked up my new trailer and brought her home. Thanks Mike and the rest of the VMI crew.

Picked it up Tuesday and brought it home. Thanks to Mike and the guys at VMI.

I got two "proof of life" photos of my new Explorer trailer from Mike at VMI. Should be ready in about two weeks. Can't wait!

Got two "proof of life" photos from VMI today. Last I heard, the ETA was around mid-September. It's looking pretty close to finished to me!

When I ordered my VMI Explorer trailer in May, Mike told me that prices would be going up soon due to the increase in the cost of the marine grade aluminum. He wasn't kidding. I just cruised their website, and the Explorer's base price jumped $1,000 on June 1st. Really glad I got my order in...

Well, Mike at VMI told me prices were about to go up when I ordered my trailer in May. I just took a look at their website and sure enough the Explorer's base price is now $8K as of June 1st. Wow, he wasn't kidding. Glad I ordered in May! :D
