    Ahhhh.... I get you now. I thought you meant frp when you said fiberglass. I'll look into that for sure. Thank you!

    Yes, bed liner. There is an epoxy coating that goes on first, and then the raptor liner. The ones that have failed seem to have applied improperly. Would a water resistant osb (with proper waxes and resins in it) just not absorb water? I left a sheet out all winter to cover my chicken run...

    Why not osb? My plan is to have the whole thing sealed with box liner over it... Should be ok, no?

    I think I've semi officially decided to go with plywood/osb. Going the frp route opens up a bunch of new things to learn for me compared to wood. Not that I'm opposed to learning, but in the interest of having at least the shell operational this summer, I need to prioritize.

    Wiling to share your supplier?

    Hmmmm.... my readings on FRP say it's no good for exterior. Not correct? Or are you just using this for your flooring with an undercoat?

    Aluminum/foam sandwich?

    Building a fully enclosed Overland trailer to be towed by a Jeep

    OK, great! I went with the 4" lift just to ensure no ground clearance issues. I assume I'll be sitting right around the same height as you are currently once I'm fully assembled. As for the tongue, I thing I'll play that one by ear... once the suspension and wheels are on I'll take some...

    Building a fully enclosed Overland trailer to be towed by a Jeep

    Looking good!!! Already you have me reconsidering a few plans in my head. Maybe I should follow your lead on the tongue? What size of tires are you running? And what Timbren did you use... Standard height? A lift?

    Haha.... well, in my research and question asking that certainly didn't come up. I've already ordered everything up, so hopefully I don't end up in that situation!! Hahaha! Realistically, with my pull vehicle, I'm not looking to do any hard core off roading. Light trail, nothing crazy...

    Here is as far as I've currently gotten. The left side (from the front) was my original plan (with a step in the angled portion). The right side was an after thought that came up this morning when I got to work. I'm pretty sure I'll go with the right side as it will give me extra space inside...

    Looking good so far!! Are you skipping the cargo trailer portion entirely, or dirty bikes specifically? I've done a fair amount of planning so far, and the suspension should be on the way by now... I hope...??? Steel would have been ordered up on Friday, but the guy never got back to me to...

    Ten4! Thanks for confirming the route that Lou had suggested. I'll likely be putting an order in shortly. As for choice in metal... Yes, I'd pretty much resigned to steel being the better choice for me. As much as I'd like the weight savings, it would put me back a ton in order to make it...

    5-7x12 Overland build Thread

    Well.... I reached out to your crew 2 times. Once via email got me a guy who seemed to have no interest in my questions. He gave me a small handful of generic answers. Shortly thereafter I called in and spoke with Lou (I think was his name), and got a lot of great info from a guy who is either...

    Hi everyone! I've been building my trailer now for a few months... but entirely in my head, and mostly at 3am when I can't sleep! Hahaha! I'll start with a description of what I'm planning, and hopefully you all can chime in and tell me where my bad ideas are before I turn them into reality...
