It's like retro-expo!!!

OOPS..thought I quoted Dr. Marneus on that one.

Here's my new project. Started a build thread on it too.

Hope to have it at least prepped to mount the tent in a month or two.

Here's mine, just used to carry gear but does have a 105AH battery in it to connect the solar up to as well as the awning. Goes anywhere, built in 1965 and used by the Australian Army until December 2015!! Also did a tour of duty in Vietnam as far as I can tell. Now used to carry camping gear around after a minor set of mods (like mount a spare as it never had one), changing the hitch out and adding a jockey wheel.

Moab 2016. I've lengthened the tongue quite a bit, added stabilizer jacks at the rear, replaced Rotopax with Scepters and added a much larger CVT tent.

Not very expo-y but its been with us since we've had the Jeep and through more creeks and rough roads than I can count. Fabricated a new front end after a bear busted it out. Between that and the body being bent up from dragging it over rocks it needed some love. That's the first I've attempted to fabricate anything out metal too. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, ready to get it out again!

Entirely caused by operator error.
That was just past the bottom of a relatively steep / straight descent that was bisected by several ruts / ledges 12"-18" deep that were 45* to the road bed. After I felt the trailer ease through the last rut I applied generous throttle in second gear to take advantage of the smooth road ahead. Unfortunately what I thought was the last rut was actually the second to last, so I accelerated hard just before the right trailer tire dropped into a rut as the left came out. Time seemed to slow down once I realized what was happening so it seemed like it was on one wheel for a loooong time. In reality from the time the driver's side tire left the ground until the flop was complete only took seconds and may have covered twenty feet
It took out a marker light lens/ grommet and scratched the fender a little. It took longer to reorganize the trailer than it did to put it back on it's wheels.
