It's nice seeing one out on the trail... kudos to you for getting out & using it... I seem to be caught in a quagmire and stalled out...

I zoomed in on a few of the first ones & thought... maybe the river... Haven't been to Martinez in.... 25 yrs. Pole Line Rd. would be a good dusty test... Again I like to joining of the two...

Well done !... nice joining of the two trailers... I've always liked the way the bunk platforms fold out on that model and the room inside... Was the cart picts. taken in the Hot Spa area N.E. of the Salton Sea ? There were several cool trailer at TDS...

X2 for the most part... While I run an XJ and have a Hi-Lift I bought a relatively cheap aluminium 1.5 ton floor jack. and mounted it in the XJ... I've changed tires with both (the predominate reason to have one) and found the floor jack MUCH more user friendly and stable... with the Hi-Lift I...

You might go for something like 3" X 4" rect. tubing... 1/8th. or 3/16th. ?? depending on the frame width. then blend the 7" existing frame into the 4" tubing... The boneyard might be a cheap source for a hitch for the rear. There is a formula or ?? like you mentioned concerning the wheelbase...

I went to Redneck http://www.redneck-trailer.com/Portals/4/web_content/files/A.pdf for my axle... I believe they can do just about any lug pattern... brakes/no brakes... spring pads/no pads... Personally I would graft the new front section on the inside... wait... is the frame a 'C' or boxed...

Matt have you checked out this thread ? There are a couple Ford beds & tons of ideas & set-ups... mine is on Pg. 2 white JEEP XJ. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/65308-show-us-your-truck-bed-trailers I went front to rear with my draw bar... I did have to cut (& re-weld) it due to...

The Sareea Al Jamal (Fast Camels Indio Jeep Club) the Chucks & the Hemet Jeep Club had many members who built similar rigs in the 60's (I believe Riverside Tent & Awning did many of them) The Indio Club's thing was to not have the same camp for more than a night or two (that changed as many...

I just checked on the Pod only from a supplier... $4K... ibezu2 has the "leak" issue been worker out or addressed ? I just stumbled across these & like what it offers... little high $ wise, but there is a fair amount of development time & $ in it... I like the ability to stand up...

Isn't that actually Pinnacle Cyn. off Red Cyn. ? Any water in the cistern ?

How about JUUUUST E. of the Cal./Nev. state line W. of the pole line Rd. a couple miles W. of Ca. 95... I believe on wet years its a trickling spring... maybe...??

What... a... Sunset...

Cam Bit off topic here, but did you happen to own a automotive repair shop in Palm Desert Ca. years ago ?? I don't believe "Cam Stone" is THAT ! common of a name... i.e. Jim Smith and such... The griddle looks pretty cool I'll be looking into it more...

It sounds like you're looking for a $100. fix for a $1K (or more) problem... An after market bumper/tire rack can go along ways in areas other that just to carry fuel... but you've mentioned that isn't an option. How about the tire inside & a one off bumper with "fuel can carrier" ? A roof rack...

This is what I was thinking... maybe extend them a bit due to the larger tires... or how about cutting them & welding in an ACME nut on the mounted section, then add a section of ACME thread to the removed section... this shortens it & allows for some adjust-ability being able to thread it in &...

Congrats. on the trailer... cool find... but I'm not sure I can sign off on the H-3 from an XJ... :D

Total adjust ability... :cool:

The local JEEP Club (that started in the late 40s) use to use aluminium 5 gal. GI water cans, they would even put a spigot on them at the lower corner. (like Coleman water jugs). I got lucky and found 3 (2 intact 1 for parts) near me 20 yrs. ago... they have CONCO stamped on the bottom and USMC...

I used the receiver stock out at the end of the drawbar... this way I could use a couple different set ups ... LnR (or Max or ?) a standard 2" ball... offers more flexibility... both in the drawbar length as mentioned & in the the way it's couples to the rig.

X 3 I went all the way to the rear cross member... tying the front to the rear making as mentioned a backbone as well as the other mentioned benefits. Also there is the option to move the draw bar from the front to the rear (temporarily) should one get into a tight spot.
