If you look closely at the pictures, the pipe on top slides into the bottom pipe, we drilled holes through the outside pipe in two places. The rack stays in the down position until I need the room. Then to adjust the height I just slide the rack up and put pins through the outside pipe in one...

I bought it on amazon, it's for a 1976-1983 Jeep CJ5 (Omix-ADA DMC-685459). We cut the top roll off and replaced it with a larger rounded pipe to match the top of the trailer. Also there is two holes in the bottom to fit the hinges that we welded closed.

Let me ask this what type of battery is everyone using out there, I know you need a deep cycle. I'm looking to power some LED lights with it, later I may add solar panels to recharge it.

I just finished (for now) my trailer build, here's the Jeep and trailer together.

The finished product, at least for now. It's in the driveway but I'm hoping to take it out later this month and try it out. Here's the jeep and trailer together.

When I broght my trailer home we flipped it up side down on the trailer and it fit fine. Enjoy the project, it's never ending. It looks like you have a good starting point.

Thanks, I had to have the Just Empty Every Pocket tailgate, since it represents the project. The trailer is actually orange, I know you like the RED though. I'm going to post some pictures tonight after I get home or tomorrow of the Jeep and trailer together.

Mark, what is your plan to get into the tent? Are you going to use a ladder or nothing at all? It looks good.

The last thing to do for now was to fab a rear stabelizer leg so that the trailer don't tip over when set up. We had metal left over so we were able to make a bracket for the leg. The final product. It's a three pin system, the top pin is the hinge pin, then the second is the stabelizer and...

We attached it to the basket and the the top. With attaching it in a few different points and having the bars welded across it is very stable now. The rack is adjustable on top so it will lift up if I want to put my kayaks on the basket

We worked on finishing up the roof rack over the weekend. Test fit of the tent on the rack.

I'm just wondering what this was. Was the inside of the trailer on display also? What was the tow rig for this?

A few more pictures of the progress, first is the rack removed. The reworked rack. The tent in the box still sitting on the top. A look at the top of the rack system.

They did a great job. What does the inside look like?

:mad: I received another letter from the DMV yesterday this is the second letter now. The first letter they needed another form from the DMV inspector, I took care of that and now I received another letter for something else. Well it's another hoop to jump through to get the title for the...

Mark, there is a second build planned, my brother really doesn't have a use for a trailer but he really just enjoys building them. So we are going to build another for fun.

She's going back to GA to my brother's house to rework the top rack to accomadate the RTT. We boxed the tent up and strapped it down for the trip.

Here are the close ups of the wiring and the connector for the cables.

As far as the wires go there is no wiring in the box in the front. When I was thinking it out I had no intentions to have a power source in the tongue box now that might change depending on my needs. The wire is run through the receiver, we drilled a hole in the receiver and ran it through it...
