Emprise Trailer Build by SOS Concepts

I wanted an #EAF / #OLAF trailer but wanted something more than the standard M416 style but less than a fully decked our $30k expedition teardrop with pull out sinks and toilets. The trailers that I found within my parameters were either not enough, had questionable build quality, or were way too much money for what I'd be getting in options.

I knew if I wanted it built right with quality craftsmanship and a lot of forethought, the first and only person that came to mind was Eddy at SOS Concepts. Eddy and I spoke at length about what I wanted and what I didn't want and we bounced a lot of ideas around. Eddy spent a lot of time with me figuring out the "flow" of the trailer for placement of everything. Once we got everything figured out, the build began!

A small sampling of the goods for the trailer:

Right, looks like a bomb squad trailer. You got your own portable bunker. What gauge steel are they skinning it with?

Definitely nice work.

Hey that looks great! I was looking for exactly what you described, something between a M416 tub and a Turtleback! I am currently building a very similar build, just not quiet as professionally finished as yours! I started with a M416 trailer, ditched the rusted tub and used the frame as my base. My build was a backyard build with a Mig welder and angle grinder though, no plasma table! I will post up a picture when I'm done.
