Looks like a great setup!

Good tires aired down can get you through a lot. The lack of low range may just give you issues on steep uphills with little traction.

This is a cool set up! I found it on Amazon. I'll be looking at this in the future!

Thats a good looking set up! It looks very similar to Hiker's trailers. Is there a spare with it or do the wheels/tires sizes match your LCs?

Finally mounted my Hot Water Heater for the shower.

I go with two methods, wherever the car has been or what it has done to it AND whatever makes me smile when I see it. So basically whatever lol Inside the swing gate I have a few including places, parts, and even YouTubers I follow @Lifestyle Overland, @TrailRecon, and Venture4WD. I'm still...

As much as this build sounds awesome. Two things come to mind that impact me often: costs QUICKLY double budgets and modifications always have trade-offs. As such, I'd recommend finding a used trailer, something super small that you can stand up in and possibly something that needs a full gut...

I'm planning on attending again this year. Just hoping for some good weather like last year. My wife and kiddo may come too and in addition to the expo, may use it as a base camp and go explore Enchanted Rock during part of the day Saturday.

Great question. I found a spare mount from Carry-On, the trailer manufacturer, through Amazon that looked pretty beefy and able to hold the spare tire. I then bolted it on the tailgate at the cross-section of the top bar and one of the vertical strength risers. It made for a very rigid...

I messed up, It's been a couple of months since I looked but, yes! Ironman is the one I was planning on getting and mounting to the trailer. Back and forth between the 13-gal and 15-gal ones. Which did you go with and where are you planning on mounting?

That’s not bad! I’ve had my eyes on a FrontRunner one that’s just a hair more expensive than that one.

There is definitely satisfaction in doing a lot of it yourself! Its been a good conversation starter as well at the gas pump. Next thing I'm doing is mounting my portable hot water heater and finding a new water tank solution.

As of this point, I'm very much so vested in this trailer but somewhat burnt out on it too. I used to enjoy being handy, tinkering, and playing in the garage all weekend but with a toddler, I don't have the time for it. This trailer involved a LOT of man hours, primarily around drilling holes...

Finally lowered the tent and roof rack and strengthened it's connections to the trailer, added fenders and moved the spare to a rear mount. It towed great from Houston to Ouray and back and handled the trail to Animas Forks great! It was our first trip with a 1-yr old so we brought a large...

I'll second the question of the need for a permanent second spare. With all the repair kits, roadside assistance, and running E-tires that are less susceptible to punctures, I do wonder how needed it is for regular trips and daily driving. I've seen some people carry additional tires, axles...

Your XJ looks great! Love the OEM wheels.

Looks great! I love the pictures of it in front of the dealer with the older and newer models. Really shows the transformation LR went through over the years. The LR3s and LR4s were definitely the last of a dying breed.

Nice! Looks great! Any drawbacks that you're finding with the GFC?

Congrats! Nice upgrade!

Geez! That is an awesome unit! I used to think I'd do this but with a kid, I can't imagine how long this would take me to do. Nice build!
