Expedition Trailer - Custom Build

[AlexJet]

Very nice build, wish I had the metal fabricating skills to accomplish this and some other things I've seen on the forum.

Nice build looking sweet.

Thanks, I'll be finishing electrical this weekend and having a trailer trial next week (need to bring a new breakfast table we bought a week ago from the warehouse), so drive there will be empty handling test and drive back - loaded handling test.

The trailer is done, so see updated pictures of it.

Wiring is done. I went with remote switch operation for the interior light:

MaxCoupler in operation with 4" drop (in reverse) ball mount:

TailGate, in open position it supported by 5/16 chain with safe load of 1'400 lbs.

Finished, kind off, still have some plans for upgrade which will do next Summer. Enjoy the show....

Roll-out:

First road-test (picture of both our family trucks (wife's 4Runner is still "in work"):

Still can't believe you made that in a little garage like that. You neighbors must love you!

Very, very nice....great work. It'll be nice to get some trail shots once it warms up.

Alex, what are you going to do for the top, soft or hard cover?

and what do you think of Kessel, did he bail just for the money or what?
(just side thought if your interested in hockey)

For now I'll stick with soft top. I always live an option to upgrade to hard top if I'd want to...

Alex,
Excellent build. Any idea what the total cost to you was? Plus your skill/manpower?

With all the parts I bought it rune me ~$2'500 CDN, including electricity to run the welder and all other tools with all other supplies.

Nice!!

Really nice build, but I'm blown away out how cool your 4runner is, we've had 3 4runners and really enjoy them, but I think yours is by far the "best Looking" one we've seen in a long time!!!

Thank you. I'm working on my wife's 3rd Gen now to make it as my 4th Gen.
