The classic overland set up...what comes to mind to most of us with in country experience.
Nice.

Dusting off the trailer to head to Utah, looking at pics from last year.
Too soon to be excited for Telluride, Ouray and Silverton, but it's on my mind.

Since the Van is basically a 4x4 bed (lift and store full size pillow top) I built the trailer into a towable kitchen. Has 150qt cooler, 20 gal water tank, stove, bbq, dishes and dry goods.
I have never seen a jack used like that. Great! I just had to stare at it for a little to let it sink in. I must find a way to do that with my camper.
What… explain more this wonder….
I have a similar sized cargo trailer as this that I have to carry. Was thinking of maybe bigger tires and a lift like this one. How technical of off-loading can this handle? My truck is very capable, but the trailer would hold me back…
Just a few pictures from our first outing of the year. Enjoy...
Heading out:

Sweet. How well does the 4Runner pull the M1101 -- those are pretty heavy trailers right?

New to the show, just had to throw my new trailer in the mix Just came back from a shake down trip to DV. Aired down she ran sweet...it was awesome getting way back in the boonies, on some pretty sporty trails and taking everything I wanted / needed including plenty of firewood and keeping my Jeep interior reserved for off road gear.
For me a trailer made sense, built it myself and cost less than a darn roof rack...those things are pricey! Trailer is very light, but built tough with a beefy frame and axle that I can drag over rocks...I don't even know its back there heading down the road. I put a 2" receiver on the back of the trailer and can mount a standard car hitch rack if more storage is needed (or a bike rack). One mistake is the wheel lug pattern does not match the rig, so I have to carry a trailer spare (laying flat inside the trailer). Also, I dig the T&G wood siding, but not a good choice for a wet climate as the T&G seams did not seal completely. I live in SoCal so this was not a big deal, along with a lid as this just adds more weight and prevents loading gear above the rim.
Kept the cost down with refurbished junk yard rims ($20 / ea) and used tires with plenty of tread from a tire store ($30 / ea). A RTT would be an awesome addition, but that will need to wait a while.
