You and me both! Here's a more finished pic from the build.

When are we hitting the road next?

So... The horizontal axis and vertical axis are pretty obvious. I'm guessing the rotational axis is within the square tube section where the grease fitting is? May be a silly question, but I just wanted to be sure...

You said it, Corey. :iagree: By this point the bedliner had been applied and all the protective plastic had been peeled off the outer skin so this thing's really looking sharp. I'm really digging the serious BASE-CAMP nature of the build. Water, twin generators, recessed lighting, outdoor...

From 09/11/11 Skersfan - Got back this morning and have worked on it most of the day. The back door is nearly finished, with trim and seal. Still have to do the bottom of it, but will pick us some aluminum angle for the bottom. ARB awning will not get here until after the 25th, so I am starting...

I 've got a few more pictures to post next, but first here's the latest info... From 09/01/11 Skersfan - overall length tip to tail 161 inches. Height is just under 7 foot and width is 80 inches. It is structurally strong enough to go anywhere. But due to the width, trails like the Rubicon...

:campfire:

:drool: And it's time to let the builder chime in here... I have taken his comments and added to the appropriate set of pictures, so be sure to go back to the beginning to get the story behind the build in his words. Apologies to all for not inserting them before.

On with the pictures... That's his previous trailer build above at the right.

Coming from one of the best DIY builders, that is high praise. I'll be sure to pass it along, Pat. I haven't seen any drawings and I'm not even sure there are any other than napkin scribblings, 'cause this thing went together fast. Skersfan is in California while I am in Texas, and we have...

Not mine, but I sure would like it to be! http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/66932-Skersfan-s-New-Shuttle-Pod-Trailer-Build...?p=955651#post955651 Build in progress. Finished pictures to be added...

Skersfan - Picked up plywood for the walls and roof today, picked up hot water heater. Should have the shower, water heater door, stove and sink tomorrow. Hope to have them in by tomorrow nite. I have not heard from the glass guys for the walls, so will give them a call tomorrow. More to come...

The Shuttle Pod... Ouray Base Camp... This thing has spawned several names already. Since the builder was kind enough to share his build with me I'm returning the favor by posting it for him. Skersfan - Here is the frame for my new trailer. It will be a sleep inside deal. Very aggressive tear...

Oddly cool, but definitely meant for a calm day on the lake. Don't you think even a light wind would push that thing around? Still it's neat to see something different!

The Trasharoo is one of those rare, truly universal products for wheeling/overland/camping/etc that can be applied to almost any offroad vehicle (didn't one guy strap his to his truck's tailgate?). Really a simple idea, brilliantly executed. Sure it could be made more robust (as noted by the man...

Wow. How big is the sleeping area on that thing?

^^You're so organized you even got your cooler properly badged. Very nice setup, btw. :safari-rig: Thanks for the link on the custom boxes.

AMEN!! Testify, My Brother! :elkgrin: Hate styrofoam for anything other than making spaceships for my Star Wars figures...

Just FYI on the Xtremes... We have the rectangular 70qt models at the office for events we host and they are indeed awesome for non-Yeti/Engel price (not knocking them, just my lack of $$$). However, the wheeled, square-shaped 75qt Xtreme I had a friend pick up for me on sale does not have the...

Nice find! That sucker would work in a lot of places.
