    utility rack style for overlanding?

    I have enjoyed my daily driver FJ Cruiser w/o any roof rack, but I am considering either the BajaRack Utility Rack or the FrontRunner WindCheetah due to their flat profiles. I think a flat rack is definitely the way to go if you're needing all-purpose utility. I have to say though, there's no...

    Australian trailer designs

    Both sites make me want a ute... Sorry, America. No ute for you! :( The aussie trailers are mostly pretty darn nice and full of cool design ideas. I like especially like the look of the Track Trailers TVAN - http://www.tracktrailer.com.au/tvan_overview1.html

    100DollarMan Trail Box OffRoad Trailers - What'ch think?

    As long as it doesn't say Free Candy on the side I figure it's okay... :elkgrin: But seriously, I'm sure the side door has a release on the inside as noted before by our good friend from somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse, Ford.

    100DollarMan Trail Box OffRoad Trailers - What'ch think?

    Follow the OP's link to more photos. Definitely no pop-up top, but it looks like a door on passenger side and rear, window only on the driver's side, and a vent on the top.

    Horizon Trailer COPYCAT

    I love the fact that a month ago Bob had just 3 posts on ExPo dating from '08, and now this thing is taking off... :victory: Go, Bob, Go... Indeed.

    100DollarMan Trail Box OffRoad Trailers - What'ch think?

    I'd call it more of an ice cube than a tear drop, with about as much personality, but utilitarian is not a bad word in my vocabulary. Suits the Jeep's profile nicely.

    Adding Air Bags to the Jeep for Towing

    This is high on my list of to-do items, especially since I got a free set of OME front springs. Once I get those installed and the vehicle sits level when static and unloaded, the rear sag will be ridiculous when I start to throw things in the back or hook up a trailer. This seems like the best...

    Pelican 1650 case, what to use it for?

    x2. The guys over at Expedition Exchange use one to carry their entire field kitchen by incorporating the Pelican 1654 Padded Divider and 1659 Lid Organizer. http://www.expeditionexchange.com/pelican/

    Skersfan's New Shuttle Pod Trailer Build...

    Rotopax looks pretty sharp there and adds some visual oomph, but I agree it should probably go behind the spare in the next generation. Having to take one thing off to get to another can be a pain sometimes. Maybe a Hi-Lift mount on the front of the spare? The two reasons I can think of for this...

    Hi there, John. Yes it is good to see another local on the forum. I've been spending more time at work than anywhere else this year (unfortunately) and I'm probably using the next couple of weekends to do some reorganizing at the office while the phones are not ringing. However, I would...

    Wagon trailers?..

    MaxiMog Trailer... Slow day at the office... :coffee: I'm sure this has made the rounds here before, the MaxiMog and the MaxiMog Trailer. http://www.maximog.com/trailer.html :Wow1: This is definitely ExPo, but on a scale I did not have in mind. Since the tow vehicle is already a freakin'...

    Wagon trailers?..

    We used the old one for parades, hay rides, even hauled an FJ40 that blew a head gasket back from the back forty on it. The front steering was basically a solid axle mounted under a turntable, so the front did not wander at all at road speeds. The rear always had old bent wheels, so it would...

    Wagon trailers?..

    Having just seen Verkstad's post over at http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/31599-Post-favorite-pics-of-your-rig-and-trailer?p=971899#post971899 brought back lots of memories of a flatbed wagon trailer we used on an almost daily basis on my uncle's place when I was a kid. Got me...

    Not very expo, but figured you guys would be entertained...

    And now for something completely different! Check this one out. Almost looks like you could stand it on end and have a three-sided rock-climbing wall. Very, ah... Well it's very... something. Not sure what that something is, though. :Wow1:

    Cool wagon trailer! Verkstad, I haven't seen one of those in a long while. I remember an old flatbed wagon trailer we had on the farm that was a homebuilt with two old truck axles that you could see the diff yokes spinning on as you went down the road. Very stable, very heavy, and could haul...

    Skersfan's New Shuttle Pod Trailer Build...

    But Bob doesn't need a photobucket account when he's got us! :elkgrin: It's gonna be really nice to see some pics of that trailer in the wild. Graphics are looking good. Bob already said that big Rotopax can isn't going on the side, right? Maybe it would look better across the front under the...

    No, I don't think it will actually float. But since you brought it up... http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sealander.de%2F

    Barn Doors on A M101a1

    That was my first thought as well. No real way to stiffen the top, just have to use that pin to hold them together. Best pic I could find of the rear upper railing gate on short notice...

    Nice trailers! NFADUDE, there's nothing wrong with that 'budget' of yours, buddy. That looks nicely done. Is the box just open with a rack over it? :safari-rig: Verkstad, I'm really liking the matching tailgates. You need to show us some more pics. Is that an actual Toyota-made trailer, or a...
