I've decided to sell this fantastic trailer, life has made changes and I have to adapt.
I had so much fun building out this rare find of a military relic, a great M100 adventure off-road trailer for sure.

Here is how I found it:

Story: My wife and I built this and towed it from Atlanta to the beautiful South West for a 3 week vacation.
It handled everything Moab and the West could throw at us, it even floats.

If you want a fantastic easily towed and tracking trailer, this is for you.
Great for overlanders, adventurers, and those that just love calling it Camping, family trips or weekend fun.
I have no regrets with this trailer, it's just awesome.
*Tent raise to easily accommodate 6ft tall folks, I'm short at 5,6 and have no problems raising or lowering the tent
Tows so well behind my Tacoma, track width is the same.


Price Lowered:
$6300 OBO

I'm working at Expo East 2018 and can tow to the event, if interested.

Is there a way to keep the trailer/load space water tight when traveling? I'm picturing hwy speeds in a downpour...will the contents of the trailer get wet?

So I had a 5x7 heavy duty tarp [what semi trucks use to cover their loads with] that matches with the trailer "hook/tie downs" on each side that kept all water out, even did a decent job with dirt and dust.
My wife and I tested this driving from Atlanta to the Southwest and had no issues, especially in torrential downpours that we experienced.
