Hey Mark, If you mean the bottom of the side I cut off then yes. Basically I'm just going push the sides in to the inside of the wheel wells. I plan on it being kind of like a step side pick-up. The idea is to make it look kind of like a M416 or the trailers that AT and Sierra 4x4 make. Not...

Never Look Back Well I have pasted the point of no return. Spent the last two days doing some welding on the tongue bracket and cutting the left side panel lose so that I can push it to the inside of the trailer. Cutting the weld for the side panel was more difficult than I first imagined. The...

Dear Ironwood, I did but some thinking into a wood type trailer. I really like the teardrops I have been seeing on here. I do plan at some time to run the Rubicon Trail, if it stays open, as well as places like moab and I'm just concerned about a wood trailer being damaged on the trail...

Dear TheThom Just checked out your build and it looks very interesting. I did think about using a pop up but was concerned about the weight with my Cherokee. Let me know how it works out and I will be following yours as well. Thanks, Robert

I still have all the brake components on the axle; honestly have not made it that far yet. I want to add electric brakes but I have read that they will not work with the axle. I plan at some point to change the axle out with a 3500 lb. one so I can match the bolt pattern to the Cherokee, but...

The whole point of one of these trailers, at least in my mind, is that they are ready to go at any time. Living in Iowa people do not seem to get what it is I'm trying to build. Thanks for the feedback, it makes this project seem justified. Thanks again.

This may seem like a stupid question, but I just wanted to know what people carry in the expedition trailers. I’m in the process of building my own trailer and keep changing plans based on what I think I want to carry in the trailer and what I want to carry in the my Jeep Cherokee. So if...

I started a new thread with my trailer. I have the bracket mounted now and it seems like it came out pretty good. I still need to do some trimming and gridding but it has rain the last two days so my progress has been slow. Here is the new thread if you want to check it out. M101 3/4 Ton...

This is what I have done so far. I want to run a 360 hitch at some point, but for now I have the 2inch ball hitch. More to come soon.

That is cool. I found it hard to believe that I was the first to think about cutting one down. How do you post pictures? I can’t seem to figure it out.

After looking at all the different trailers on here I have decided that I’m finally going to start my own build. I originally wanted a M416 or CDNM101 but those are like mythical creators now days and I just can’t see paying upwards of 8 or 9 thousand dollars for the trailer build by the various...

Did you have any trouble getting the tongue back on after you painted it? My trailer did not have the bolts that secure the tongue with the rest of the frame. When I put the new bolts I bought in the two pieces did not want to line up very well. I thought I was going to have to put the brake...

Thanks Craig for the info. It is much appreciated. Robert

Trailer build I'm starting a project like this one myself. Just ordered that receiver tube braket the other day and removed the surge brake this afternoon. Do you still have the trailer? Just wounder how straight it tows now. I'm trying to decide the best way to insure the mount is straight...

Great Trailer. I just bought a m101a1 myself to build kind of a hybrid expo trailer. I plan to narrow mine up. Going to move the side in to line up with the wheel wells so that they are on the outside, kind of a supersized m416 look. I'm going to pull it with my cherokee so I need to get the...
