I don't know how much it weighs, and I'm not sure how I would go about finding out. I have never towed it fully loaded, but I can feel it more than I would have expected empty, especially climbing hills.

Here is a "before" photo of my trailer: I completely disassembled the trailer in order to swap out the 5x5.5 drums for 6x5.5's, to match my Tacoma, as well as to clean and repaint. The plate steel used to line the cargo box, and the diamond plate on the front deck, weigh a TON. I am...

A couple of questions: How are you liking that Camping Lab RTT, other than the issues with the cover? Where did the raised cargo carrier come from that you have on the truck?

Too bad you don't have brakes, I have a pair of Jeep pattern brake drums for a 3500# axle that I don't need.

I don't need the spare after all, I found one here in AZ.

Would you be willing to part with the spare by itself?

And another "made in the USA" option: Sierra 4x4 Trailers

Never mind...

Its getting a bit crowded though...

Funny thing is, the flood lights aren't even hooked up right now. And it has electric brakes, but they aren't hooked up yet either. The tail lights are right below the flood lights.

It was a bit tricky! Fortunately, there was a wide spot not far downhill from where forward progress ceased. At one point, the two of us had to get out and physically move the trailer to one side a little, but it worked.

I finally took my trailer out on the trail today for a little test run. It did great, it will definitely go anywhere my truck will! I attempted the trail that goes through the pass in the Sawtooths. I have made it through there fine in an unladen truck. Pulling a trailer was a completely...

So no VIN anywhere on the trailer? Any evidence that there ever was one? Worst case is that you may have to pay a bond on it, which is basically insurance so that if the state registers it and then the rightful owner shows up (if it had been stolen at some point), the state isn't liable. But...

Nice job!

Not sure, but it isn't light!

Very cool build!

Yeah, he is no longer in business. He moved to Oklahoma and is a school teacher now. His website is still out there, but has gone dormant and is infected with a trojan downloader virus. So I wouldn't advise going there unless you have good anti-virus protection. Even Google has a warning on...

I guess you would call it custom built, but inspired by military trailers. The owner used to build them to sell. But he put so much into them (both materials and man hours), that I guess he couldn't sell enough for what he had in them to stay in business. This was the last one he still had...

For those of you who saw my previous thread, I made a decision and purchased the "used" trailer. And I am glad I did - this trailer is great! Yeah, the cargo box is a bit small, but the trailer makes up for it in so many other ways. The tongue height is just about perfect for my new custom...

Thanks for the links. I've actually seen all those, except the surplus one. The used mil trailers aren't exactly cheap. I'm certainly not rushing into things! I've been looking at off-road trailers for a couple of years, and just not seeing much that I like in my price range. I could wait a...
