Hey everyone, this build is not dead. Just trying to figure out why I cannot get my images to load. Working on a new image host and will fix all my posts.

With all of the improvements I have made to the trailer, I think it is time to build a suitable tongue jack. I started a standard trailer jack* to save a few $$. Then I purchased a couple cheap pneumatic tire casters* from my local Harbor Freight Tools. One caster has a swiveling frame and a...

It is time to totally transform the look of my mini camper build! What better than to install a set of wheels and tires that match my Jeep! What's cool is that I can use my stabilizer jacks to change my wheels and tires! For Wheels, I went with Method Race Wheels 16x8" 5x4.5" MR305 NVs*...

It was time to paint everything and this took me well over a week to do it right. I painted the tongue, basket, front corners, and the entire sides mentioned in this update. It was a ton of work to paint. After this, I took the camper out of the garage to see it in some sunlight! I intend to...

Moving back to the fenders yet again, It was time to sheet metal them. I simply cut some 16 gauge sheet metal slightly larger than needed and tack welded it on the fender frame, being careful that it was nice and tight. I used clamps to hold it in place. After the inside was tack welded, I...

Moving to the rear of the trailer, I tack welded a slider bar in place and discovered there would be much fabrication work involved with getting a stabilizer jack mounted. I wanted to be able to still swing the rear barn doors all the way open. This was no easy feat considering most angles would...

With my offroad suspension complete, as well as many changes to the tongue of PROEJCT Toaster Camp, I thought it would be fitting to completely transform the sides of the trailer. The trailer needed larger, more robust fenders and I thought it would be a good idea to have some steps / protection...

Thanks for the feedback! Hoping to have an update next week. I have been working hard on the trailer Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

What would PROJECT Toaster Camp be without a proper suspension? I see so many "off road trailers" with big tires and cool looking bolt-ons, but underneath the suspension is no different than an average street trailer. With that being said, an off road trailer does not need to "flex" like a...

Thanks for the feedback! Having fun with the build so far Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

The front of PROJECT Toaster Camp needed some additional space to store and protect the propane tank, spare tire (will be a future post on this) and firewood. It is also just a good place to put random things that I do not want to keep inside. I started the fabrication by grinding the paint...

Link to my blog post: http://patrickjamesmcbride.com/project-toaster-camp-fabricating-a-2-receiver-tongue/ I decided the first mod to do on the trailer build is a new trailer tongue. Sure an off road hitch would be cool and all, but I had a better reason for making this my first project. The...
