    The Jeep Expeditions Home Built Trailer

    I lived in PA most of my life and titling anything seems to be more difficult than other states. Here in AZ it was a simple as taking the Certificate of Origin from Harbor Freight to the DMV and getting a title and registration on the spot. Since I don't have the spare tire carrier and...

    The Jeep Expeditions Home Built Trailer

    Just a note here. I got my 1.5" spacers and installed them along with stock 2014 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon wheels and LT285x75x17 tires. They fit perfect but the factory "Jeep" dust cap on the rim has to be on the rim before you install it. If not you can't get it on afterwards. So in my...

    Ok, I've been bad and didn't keep up on the build here. Call it a bit of forgetfulness and a lot of other things on my plate. Several questions to answer it looks like, I'll try to get to them all. rnArmy commented a few posts back what the cost of the trailer they had build (by the...

    I'll have what we call Phase 1 done this week. I'll post costs and source of parts to make it easy. There are things you can do to cut your costs. I chose new CJ7 springs but you could easily get a set of take offs from a CJ or a YJ privately or from a junk yard. Same with wheels and...

    The Jeep Expeditions Home Built Trailer

    THE BEGINNING: CONSTRUCTION OF THE FRAME We'll call today Day 1. It's Thursday late afternoon and I head down to the trailer supply store in Mesa, AZ to pick up the trailer kit. It was on sale and with tax I spent just under $330. Now keep that in mind because we are going to built our basic...

    The Jeep Expeditions Home Built Trailer

    A few weeks ago we started work on a home built off-road trailer that in it's basic form can be built in a weekend in your backyard, driveway or garage. The biggest thing we've found keeping many "weekend off-road warriors" from investing in a trailer was cost. The goal was to build a...

    CJ Grille Conversion Kit for the TJ/LJ

    I love it! If you ever get this into production I am a buyer! Would also like to see the sun visor too. The retro stuff is just great! At least it was easy for me to "retro" my Grand Wagoner to the "Gladiator" look up front and an XJ sun visor just might work above the windshield on...
