I had Morris build my trailer. High quality, more than fair pricing, and Morris is amazing to deal with-awesome dude!

I do quite like that. Just a question though, why did you go with the trailer when you have a 4 Door JK? Some higher milage 3.8's are coming down in price so I weight the idea of having another JK
on the side or doing a trailer.

How come nobody is trying to get together for the Big Dogs Off Road event this weekend or the Appalachian Toyota Roundup at the end of the month? These are perfect opportunities to do events together.

I personally won’t be available this weekend but I am going to the Round-Up.

I honestly did not know these events were going on. I will be out of town for the next couple of weeks so trying to spend some time with the wife and I want to do somethings to the project car before I leave.

Big Dogs is A LOT OF FUN, but its more of a huge drinking party. I'll only go back if I had another buggy.

There aren't as many fun ride around trails when all the hardcore buggy guys are trying to have fun and get their broken rigs out.

I have to somewhat disagree with that. I went and camped with my family, and we’re not big drinkers at all. That’s why going with a group could be better cause you’re there to have a good time together, not make a bunch of new drunk friends.

And when I went they had 10 separated trail rides with Guides and spotters. And the rides ranged from stock friendly to guaranteed heavy damage. Although having a buggy through the trails they have there would be hella fun.

I wanted a trailer because I like being able to get to where I'm going, set up camp, and then get in the vehicle and go explore the area, especially when it's a new place. I don't always take the trailer though. Sometimes I just use my ARB awning and awning room, or pitch a ground tent to be able to still explore in the Jeep. The other reason I did a trailer is because I knew I wanted a RTT, and I could not put a RTT on my Jeep and still get it in my garage-I like storing the Jeep in the garage.

Outstanding! Still might go with one just cause I’m tired of looking. And it kinda fits the bill.

I exhausted myself looking, so I can relate:) After all of my research, Morris's trailers fit the perfect pricepoint, and they are so much more practical than a lot of the other trailers. It's a very useful trailer, and not just for overlanding! It's extremely utilitarian.

Now you have me looking at trailers again. Same for me, Got tired of looking, this is the style of trailer I'm looking for and the price. I like the DIY frame.

And Morris is the type of guy to where if you want some additions/changes, he's more than happy to work with you. Probably one of my best purchasing experiences ever.

What’s the price point? I couldn’t find any info easily on Google. I dig that style.

I drop shipped my wheels and tires, Tepui tent, and awning directly to Morris when he was building. He took care of the install of everything, which made it real easy when I drove down to pick up the trailer-was ready to camp, in the lovely 100+ deg. Alabama temps:)

Fellas, I’m dying to get out soon. A few of us have been in touch and met up. Calendar is right for adventure, M A O F next weekend, RTTR in mid Oct and OE east in November. I’d like to get out and test out some new gear. Not looking to hardcore wheel, I’ve got a TJ for that. Maybe fireroads, trails within 75 miles of DC. Thoughts for trip soon? sabjku has some good ideas.

I’m definitely game, but novice when it comes to overlanding and my T4R is still stock (for now). Fire roads or easy/light trails sound like a good way to get my feet wet.

In fact sabjku and I are headed to Peters Mill Run today!

JRELAXED could have joined, but darn that work thing![emoji14]

Had a great time yesterday with Novabound, the wife, and the pup!

Trails were a bit wet of course, but not too crowded, and we both got a chance to get our wheels wet a bit more with running trails.

Camped last night and just woke up to this!
