We are supposed to be 100 degrees + for the forseeable future... not real excited about camping in that heat, but I agree a trial run is in order. We drove both of them to Crested Butte in March, and it went great, but we were in a 4 door vehicle with heat and a/c. The defender will be a...

I live in north Texas, and rattle snakes thrive around here. I have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and an Australian Shepherd that are out all the time (I live on a ranch), and they both have the RS vaccine and have both been bitten SEVERAL times. They swell up and you will think they are going to...

Great!!!! This is really making me feel better....

I am taking my wife, daughter (2.5), and son (1) on a 2-3 week camping trip in August. We are leaving on the 2nd of August from Graford, TX and heading toward the national Land Rover Rally in Brekenridge, CO. We will camp there until Saturday, and then we are headed toward Crested Butte, CO...

A few updates. Got the hub adapters and the max coupler. Took the tailer for a test drive to make sure everything was right before I welded all the spring hangers solid. Everything was perfect. The trailer pulls great, and I really can't even tell its back there. Of course there is still a...

today I made some progress. Got the axle and springs mounted, got the tailgate built and mounted, installed spring loaded latches on tailgate, installed receiver hitch on draw bar (max coupler should be here tomorrow), and finished up some welding and grinding. My hub adapters should be in the...

Well, still making a little progress. I got the sheet metal on the top, and the floor, and the front and one side. Also tacked on the spring hangers. I picked up a set of stock YJ front springs off of craigslist for $30. Since they are stock hight springs, I am using some custom spring...

Well, I got the top built and started working on my hinge today. I am hinging it at the front for several reasons. On the passenger side the kitchen will slide out of the front of the trailer, and there will be a table top that will mount over the passenger wheel well to give you a nice work...

Got started today! The top and bottom frame are 2.5 square. The uprights are 1.5 square. The tounge is 2.5 x .25 square. I ordered a custom axle today that is 57 inces hub face to hub face. There will then be 2 inch hub adapters to get the bolt pattern I need to match the defender. I also...

I have been reading about all the trailer builds on the forum for a while now, and I am finally ready to build mine. I am starting from scratch. I will have a 4x6 box with a 6 inch tall top on it. The inside will be for storage, and there will be a RTT mounted on top. The tent will open to...
