It came with my new house. 
it's about 4 feet by about 8-9' with removable expanded steel sides. looks a lot like a jumping jack, actually.
I'll post up a few pictures when I get a chance.
It definitely needs a bit of tlc, but nothing that keeps it from being very usable. I'm thinking about simply making it able to be loaded full of camping gear, firewood, etc and then topped with our thule loadbox to keep the jeep's roof clear.
It rolls on normal car-sized 15" rims (has pretty awesome hubcaps actually) and uses small leaf springs for suspension. My friend, the previous owner, told me that he's really loaded the thing down with gear/furniture/supplies and it still tows very well. I've loaded it with proabably about 500lbs worth of stuff, and I couldn't even tell it was behind me for the most part.
It's got a very stout frame, a short tongue that'll need to be lengthened a bit, and while I'm at it, I'll probably add an articulating or pintle type mount. I came with a good spare, some simple jerry/water can mounts, and a nice area near the tongue for some outside storage (propane, etc)
I'm deifinitely open to suggestions from those of you who've been trailering for a while now. I know I'll probably have some "jeep with trailer" type questions.
