UPDATE: The trailer is sold and has been passed off to its new owner Jeff! He is having a blast with it down in California! I'm going to post some of the pictures he has sent me and hopefully he will keep us all updated with progress. Before He picked the trailer up I finished up the door seals...

Here is the for sale thread... http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/92889-Thinking-about-selling-my-Custom-built-Off-Road-Expedition-trailer-with-Roof-tent?highlight=

It should be in the for sale section, I will track it down and post a link here. I do have a very interested buyer looking at it on Saturday tho. I did go with a wood floor, It's 1/2 laminated plywood. I painted the bottom of the floor with several coats of sealer. The top was stained and then...

Thakns I am really happy with it. Still needs little things like interior/exterior lights and door seals. It tows really nice and its great to be able to jack knife the trailer 90deg for tight turns or loading dirt bikes in the back without unhooking the trailer.

Thanks Jim, I'll post more info and pictures as I get time. The trailer is actually up for sale. I have a very intersted buyer looking at it this weekend. I will miss it but it would be nice to see someone get more use out of it. -Trost

Had the trailer out in the sand. Everything worked great!

Got a new truck so I had to dwon size the tires. Now running some 31's...

Well it has been along time, the trailer is done so I figured I would post some pictures. If you guys have any questions let me know. I am terrible at posting pictures as the build goes so I'll post pictures as I find them.

Ha yeah, its perfect behind my toyota pickup tho.

Here is a quick link to my craigslist add, I will do my best to check this thread but calling or texting is the best way to get ahold of me. http://salem.craigslist.org/rvs/3532760598.html Asking $5000 located in Dallas, Oregon

Oh yeah there will be an A frame connecting the tongue to the box that will also have the tongue box and two gas cans on it. I should have made it more clear that this trailer is far from done and has alot more details still to be added. Thanks for all the ideas and comments!!!! More updates to...

There is about 6'' of vertical travel before the tires can hit anything. The trailer will squat a little fully loaded but ill keep adding leafs to my spring pack to make sure even with a hard bump that it cant bottom out. If I have to add bump stops I will but I can see the need yet.

Don't think I mentioned it before, the trailer will be skinned with 16ga steel. Not sure on the floor yet. It will either be 14ga or wood. -Thanks!

Here are a few pictures out of the garage. Any thoughts on tongue length? The box is 6ft long and the tongue is 5ft long? Dose this look about right?

Yes I will run shocks. No plans for a trailer mounted spare yet, still kicking around the idea of a spare tire mount in the truck.

Thanks and yes I'm not worried about the doors. I made them lift off so I could grease the hinges. Sure I could have got hinges with zerks but I didn't oh well. And the Roof tent will bolt to the sides of the trailer and hoops will go over the top for it to bolt to. Once I decide where these...

Oh and as far as total weight I'm shooting for under 1000# fully loaded. And somewhere around 600-700 empty. Thats pretty light so we will see.

Thanks Mark, the box is from the scrap yard. It used to house a big battery. If you want a tongue box Harbor freight has a few from $80-$100. LCP, the main frame is 1.5x1.5 0.083 wall and the tongue is 2x2 .25 wall. Scrap, Thanks. as far as theft there is no way to lift the doors off when the...

Hey guys, well after 2-3 years of poking around this site and dreaming about doing an off-road adventure trailer I finally pulled the trigger and started welding. I would like to start by saying I am no expert fabricator so go easy on me. This trailer took about a month of planning trying to...
