Just shows what can be done with determination, with what was a basic truck , no under body amour, no fancy winch, jacked up suspension ,diff locks or gizmo’s just a truck which had many miles under its belt beforehand . May you both have an eventful and happy life on your travels. An...

Just curious . Have noted the comments re title and registration problems , that often get posted/commented on. Here in the UK we buy/build a trailer , and just get a supplier of number plates , on production of the appropriate documentation to make up a plate for the towing...

Hi. A couple of links to a "Sankey" rebuild, may be of use. http://www.craigmcateer.co.uk/simon/Sankey1.pdf http://www.craigmcateer.co.uk/simon/Sankey2.pdf

I used garden watering hose to cover the tailgate chains leaving just the snap hooks exposed

Fire Blankets- We have one of these , Link-http://www.puresafety.co.uk/piv/25653/687/692/5502/Fire_Safety_Equipment/Fire_Blankets/Classic_Fire_Blankets/FRE43-J2R.html The blanket is retained in a enclosure, fixed to the trucks bulkhead, to use just pull tapes extending from enclosure...

Seems to be a rebuild on a standard Euro, 750Kg unbraked type trailer chassis, complete with 13 inch wheels and rubber torsion suspension. I think that the supplied pressed tin hitch will not be man enough to take any off road stresses; I replaced mine with a cast steel version. Think you...

The trailer use scene is so wide, with people with differing requirements, from the basic KISS style trailers to the ultimate off road trailer , with all the bells and whistles, with suspension set ups from basic leaf spring to air suspension. You can only judge what is best in its class. Not...

Ratpatrol- Take a look at my build. ( We are in the UK) And where I got my inspiration from . We run a'06 Land Rover TD5 90 Defender. It's a basic KISS trailer, the trailer weight unladen is 240 KG, with a max of 750KG , to comply with unbraked axle regs in the UK. To keep cost's down we used...

Personally I think you would regret selling this trailer. have you explored the viability of friends, workplace storage, ect. You have created a really nice KISS style trailer and it looks good with the truck .

Like it. Nice and simple, a KISS trailer. Though think you may need more clearance on the mudguards/fenders, with those tyres fitted.

Hi. The drawbar from the image, would worry me, the transition point from the double thickness box section to the single box section, seems to be a weak point considering the length of the drawbar, as it seems to be 2x2 (50mmx50mm box), it would worry me. I personally would have gone for 2x3...

Hi. Still a newbie with all this, and UK based , but I have built my own , a KISS style , a small military, box style trailer, using new and second user steel, no problem to fit rails to attach a RTT, though not required in my case...

Was this ever sold commercially , suppose it was okay till it tore the roof off, seems only attached to gutter rails. still it takes all sorts to make a funny old world.!!!!!!!!

Its good to see basic KISS type, off road capable trailers, along with the basic military trailers. My trailer build was for a basic off road capable trailer.. Link- http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/64134-First-Trailer-Build Not all of us can afford to purchase, build a...

Nice KISS trailer, simple, does the job. Like the Ammo can idea,got me thinking for strap and chock storage.

Just curious. Have any of you military guys have any image's of this trailer Link- http://www.tpub.com/frontmatter/TM-9-2330-389-14P0001.gif

Would have thought, rubber band tracks over tyres would be more cost effective and lighter. Had a quick shufti and found this. Link-http://hummer-hmmwv.tpub.com/TM-9-2330-392-14P/ http://www.tpub.com/frontmatter/TM-9-2330-389-14P0001.gif

Think I like the ammo can on the drawbar, gives me ideas for chock and strap storage. Mount two ,one in front of each wheel. Just a KISS idea trailer. think its great Link- http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/64134-First-Trailer-Build/page2

Hi Thank you for your comment. It was planed as a basic light trailer, with the ability to stay with the Land Rover over whatever conditions we would face in the UK, though I still have to deal with the rotational limitations of the standard 50mm ball hitch. (Still harbouring thoughts of...
