I got it from Amazon, I think if you search flush mount door handle or tee door handle there's several different styles. Sent from my XT1585 using OB Talk mobile app

We attended the Midwest Rally in Brown Co State Park this weekend and we had a blast. My parents joined us and we enjoyed a peaceful weekend away. Some updates on the trailer that I don't have any pics of besides this one, we got a lid to seal the top of the trailer. We can now use the lower...

After mustering up the courage to cut a hole in the rear wall for a door I'm happy I did. It makes everything so much easier. I also scavenged onto a couple jacks from my Jeep and my wife's since their both lifted and made some cheap stabilizers. Hint: if you cut the eyelet off and weld a...

NOCO4runner I started with the 1720 lb trailer, it already had a 5 lug axle. From there I got adapters to go to my jeep wheels. It was shortened 2 feet and narrowed to 38" I believe but the top is 4'x6' so a RTT wouldn't hang over the edges. The metal I think is 11 or 12 GA and it is sturdy...

This weekend we borrowed my parents RTT to see if we would really like one, gotta say I enjoyed rolling up to my in-laws and being set up in less than 10 minutes and not messing around with tent poles. The rear pelican case houses the stove, gas adapter and utensils. My dad and I made the...

It's a good platform. I think we're sub $1000 with materials and frame. I already had the wheels and tires so that saved money. And it allows you to build as you acquire funds unlike buying an outfitted trailer. A RRT is definitely something in the plans but for now we can use our regular tent...

Thanks bud! It's a slow process but moving along nonetheless. Planting season has been slow starting so Saturday I fabbed up a propane mount out of some spare channel from the frame. We will be converting an old Coleman 425f stove to propane. Sent from my XT1585 using OB Talk mobile app

Fenders and license on, time to work out the kinks and figure out propane, spare tire, and air compressor/tank set up. Already got annoyed with the pintle hitch. Sent from my XT1585 using OB Talk mobile app

I don't think we're going to put doors in the sides, there was plans for a tail gate but with the lights so close together it would be a small opening. We're working on a swing out tire carrier with integrated flip down table for the rear, which was going to be the biggest benefit of the...

This is the trailer I started with and it's worked out well. Still in the build phase but I've had no big complaints for the money. Good luck and post some pics as it comes along. Sent from my XT1585 using OB Talk mobile app

The weekend was productive. Got the wiring for all the lights ran thru the tongue and tired up along the frame and got all lights operating. Next stop is paint and fenders. I'm using the PVC as a frame for a tarp until I get a lid made. Here it is pre-brake light install before rain came in. I...

Finally got the body steel from the fabricator. Looking to get it bolted down this week. Hopefully we will have everything to wire the lights by the weekend if Amazon Prime pulls thru. Sent from my XT1585 using OB Talk mobile app

I also have the defender rack by smittybilt. I ended up cutting 4 holes in my soft top and mounting it to my roll bar frame for summertime use. I used YJ spring bushings and spacers to raise it and the poly bushings sandwich the top material and seal it. Sent from my XT1585 using OB Talk...

We got a rough idea on the box size with some cardboard tonight. Gonna refine the measurements and take them to a steel company to cut and bend them. Also got a removable shield installed on the tongue. Sent from my XT1585 using OB Talk mobile app

I'm going to run a 1/2" spacer on the wheels to get by for now but the plans are to run the same wheels as the Jeep which have a bigger offset. Tonight we didn't make much progress and it will be slow going from now until I get more steel for the body fab. We did flip it over and set it on jack...
