I was set up right across the walkway from VMI Offroad and their Xtender trailer. I couldn't get enough of it - every chance I could sneak over and look at it, I was there:

I arrived on Wednesday afternoon and settled in to my spot in the RV Park. On Thursday I moved my trailer in to my vendor space. It was a bit perplexing to figure out which way to park it to give me some sort of shelter from the breeze. I started to notice that as the day progressed, the...

I liked the new location. More space it seemed like. The cooler temperatures were welcomed as well. In Amado, it was quite a bit warmer.

I heard ooo's and ahh's when it happened, that poor thing got some serious air!! It was the bigger sized EZ-UP... a 10'x20' This morning I saw the wadded up frame laying on the ground in their display area. Sad... EZ-ups aren't cheap.

For those that don't recognize the engine, it's a Jeep 4.0L complete with factory airbox, presumably out of a Jeep Wrangler TJ.

Here's more pics of the VMI all aluminum "Xtender" trailer. I've look at it a lot because they are next to me in the vendor area. It's made in Bellingham, WA: http://www.vmioffroad.com Tool box and jerry can storage on the front. Lots of stuff on the side: Marine grade cabinet door...

I made it to OX12 in this beast, with my Jeep TJ in the trailer.

It does look good. Looking forward to seeing it at OX12.

D-rings in the floor In preparation for my trip this week, I installed two more D-rings in the floor last night. These are the new heavy duty backing plates I had made, vs. the backing plates that come with the D-rings. I used a hole saw to punch through the diamond plate and plywood...

Awning installation was completed over the weekend. I had an RV repair shop about 7 minutes from home install it, for a fraction of the cost that the cargo trailer dealer wanted to charge. It's slowly making the transition to a show trailer and Jeep hauler. I will have it at OX12.

I stopped at the shop today on my way out of town and looked at the trailer. The awning is installed, they were doing some finishing touches on the project. I will pick the trailer up Monday when I return home. The awning I selected is a Carefree of Colorado Spirit FX model...

It's hard to believe it's been three years ago I installed these nets in my TJ Rubicon.... time has gone by fast. I still like the nets just as much as the day I installed them. I will have my TJ at Overland Expo 2012, possibly in the vendor area if there's space to park it along side my trailer.

Replaced the resistor array for the blower motor (heater fan). Fan works on all 4 speeds now.

Looks like it will be a fun project, looking forward to seeing it at OX12. I will be there as well.

Took it to a shop today to have an awning installed, in preparation for OX12. Once I get it back from the shop I will post another picture. This is my new "show and event" trailer.

This is my Jeep hauler: I put new tires and wheels on it:

My newest Jeep hauler: It's already been converted to LED interior lighting:
