I actually ended up selling it and making a bit of a profit. Then I had someone contact me about building one for them, but I've got another project keeping me busy.

Basically, it's watered down Titebond II glue painted on the trailer and then canvas laid over it while still wet. You then paint it with multiple coats of exterior latex. http://www.instructables.com/id/Poor-Mans-Fiberglass-make-nearly-anything-weatherp/ Sealing the doors were a bit of a...

I'd probably go a little wider for more space inside, trailer brakes, and look into a more flexible axle setup for better off-road travel.

Location: Escondido, CA I'm selling my newly home-built off-road teardrop style adventure trailer. Solid and tows great. Built to be towed behind a Jeep. I built it mainly as a summer project for fun and now am looking to sell. It's built solid and has been tested on Cleghorn Truck Trail going...

Here's my 05 LJ and home-built trailer on Leghorn Truck Trail from Interstate 15 near Silverwood Lake headed to Big Bear Lake.

Success! Just got back from an overnight trip to Big Bear Lake and I couldn't be happier with the results. The trailer rode well, towed well and did great. Hitting the road Saturday morning. On the trail near Silverwood Lake On the way to Lake Arrowhead Camped at Holcomb Valley...

Took it for a pull the beginning of the week. First time since the body has been built. It towed very well. Last weekend I finished up the electrical. I put a 12v socket and USB port in both the cabin and in the rear, along with a meter gauge. The USB had a small light that stayed on so I...

Coming along nicely. Good job. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It's been a productive week. I finished up the painting. I got the windows mounted. For the doors, I went down to Ecology Auto Parts and pulled a couple of windows out of a Chevy van. The frames had a curve to them, but the glass is straight. I notched the aluminum frames to allow them to...

Bought it at the Hollywood Home Depot!

After doing a bit of research, I nixed the idea of using roof coating. Apparently it tends to get chalky. I got the doors canvased and primed everything. I then started painting. I lost track of how many coats I did. The trailer changed colors about four times as I decided to use up some of the...

Yeah, my cuts are less than stellar. I'm thinking about coating with roof coating. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks for the compliments. :) Yesterday I wrapped the box in canvas using the "poor-mans fiberglass" method, mixing a 1:1 ratio of Titbond II wood glue with water, rolling it on and then placing canvas drop cloths from Harbor Freight over it. It's not the best canvasing job, I know, but it'll...

Haven't posted in a while, been busy building. Also took a little trip to Moab, which was awesome! So I'm actually getting real close to the finishing stages. Since my last post, I've built the doors, framed the rest of the trailer up, skinned both the inside and the outside, and pretty much...

I've made some good progress over the past week. I've completed the frame. I made a jig to build the fenders, which I temporarily sheeted with plywood to get it to the DMV for registration. I also borrowed the plate from my other trailer to get it down there. The inspector kind of frowned on...

You never get as far as you hope, but I made pretty good progress. I stripped the boat trailer frame and got the basic frame welded up.Tomorrow I should be working on the axle and the tongue.

Thanks for the welcomes and the encouragement. Woke up this morning raring to go, unfortunately, it was too early to start making noise in the garage. I need to wait for the rest of the house to come alive. The plan for today is to work on the frame. One of my goals is to not to have to order...

I've lurked on this forum for a few years now and am always impressed with the great builds. I've toyed with the idea of building my own adventure trailer, but for one reason or another I never got around to it. Over the last few weeks the urge to build has really hit. House remodeling is done...

Just bought an unmolested 2005 LJ
