No build thread. It's a home built trailer by an older gentleman in Riverside. Simple 3,000 lbs torsen axle, so it's not the smoothest thing on wheels, but it has a small nosebox, room for jerry cans and propane, a low slung hidden 20 gallon water tank, and a drop down tailgate and clamshell lid. Mostly all 12 gauge steel tub, so it's pretty stout. I got it this spring, used it on three or four camping trips, but never behind the Jeep. I had to sort out some wiring issues and I badly needed tires for the past 4 months or so. I haven't towed it since August due to the tire issue. I'm going on a test run to Joshua Tree via Berdoo Canyon this Saturday.
Stupid tires. Super Swamper TSL's.

I have the same problem on my Jeep with the TSL's, both the 33x10.5 and the 33x13.5 sets. Just one or two on each set, but a real pain when on a trail/trip without air:snorkel:
Great trailer!

The first pic looks like Fossil Falls, is the third pic near Horse Meadow?

Yes to Fossil Falls, the other pics are Yosemite, with the campsite being Tolumene Meadows campground.

Memories, from the dark corners of my mind!
Ok, I had to post a old picture of my rig. Both are gone now. I purchased the trailer on Ebay from a guy in AZ that had no idea what it was. He bought it at an auction and it was full of camping gear. At the time, Adventure Trailers had been making their own trailers for around 2-3 years. I brought the trailer to Mario when he was in Norco. He said that he thought it was the last Bushwakka trailer they imported and sold under their name. They sold two different one and this was the bigger of the two. It was first sold to an older gentlemen in AZ who we think passed away and his estate was sold at auction. I wound up changing the tent and then copied everything Mario and Martin had in their new trailers. Turned out to be too much for the TJ to tow and I sold it. Would love to see it today. I put in a water heater, elec. water pump, two 10 gallon water tanks, 65 watt solar, dual batteries, full slide outs and an Engle fridge. I put kitchen boxes just like A/T on both sides. I think it lives in Hemet now. Let me know if anyone knows where it is.

I have photos of my Cruiser and trailer already in this thread but I've just recently been able to use my Tacoma with the trailer since I finished my rear bumper. Had to drop some stuff off at the local charitable donation center the other day and grabbed an iphone photo. Trailer's kinda bare without the lid, rack, tent etc. but I still like how it looks behind the Taco.
