    Biggs LR3 - Armored up and ready for off-road

    I have been gradually getting parts for my 2007 LR3. Not intending to go major rock crawling, but rather properly setting up the rig for some off road family camping. Only thing remaining are some rack lights and a spare set of wheels for MTR's. :coffeedrink: Parts so far: - Front Sump / skid...

    Offroad Teardrop+ concept

    Hey bud, Not a bad suggestion. I understand where you are coming from with a self supported system. Early in the design process, I looked into that. the forward flip top would be ideal for that solution. With the side opening top, you must keep in mind that even when the rear trailer jacks...

    Hey Jack...thanks. I enjoyed it as well. Thanks for the input regarding the trailer. I couldn't agree more about the tires. I prefer a skinnier tire as well. Makes a heck of a lot more sense. Stay tuned. Much more to come as things start moving forward.

    Jeep's new Trail Rated camping trailer

    $10-12K for THAT? Uh...no. Sorry Chrysler. That pricing does not fit the demographic you are catering to.

    Offroad Teardrop+ concept

    Yes. The thought is, if the weather gets really bad you could close it up and have a solid structure to keep safe. Once again, a big thank you to everyone for the feedback. I hope this comes together. I am getting anxious to get fabrication started. :coffeedrink:

    Offroad Teardrop+ concept

    I like the idea, but it will not work with the way it has been engineered. The composite panels are the key to this rig. I will keep that suggestion in my hip pocket thought. That said, I am thinking that this trailer might be able to be purchased as a DIY kit to be assembled by the...

    Offroad Teardrop+ concept

    There has to be a limit with the trailer. Any trailer for that matter. While the larger diameter tires are nice for rigs, not so much for trailers. Axles take a beating and having that rotational mass on each independent trailing arms. Super larger tires on a trailer is not quite that...
