Your wife looks super happy LOL... (sigh... another project...) Too bad they didn’t use a non-cambered (straight) axle, you could have flipped it and been done with it :) James

Haven’t camped in it yet, but did climb up there yesterday. Seemed fine to me. It will be parked on level ground when camping, with leveling jacks front and rear. The trailer tracked well behind our Montero while going 55mph, and seemed to do fine on a washboard dirt at 30mph. I’ll let you...

Stabilizer jacks coming soon. Tubing welded underneath for wiring. I plan to weigh it when finished. James

2 things happened today. 1) Took a test drive down the road and back, including over railroad tracks, and down a washboard dirt road with potholes about 6” deep. 2) Deployed the Tepui roof top tent on the trailer, so we could get an idea of how it would work out in the wild. The potholed...

I can see something like this in our future too. We are 41. Setup time is also greatly reduced! James

This second set of pics are with it fully loaded. James

Couldn’t wait any longer, had to mock it up and see how everything looked. Still working on paint, but the top section is finished. These first few pics are with it packed light. James

Makes sense. I have those same fenders here that I need to return from my build. I really considered using them for their practicality and functionality, but ended up going with the round fenders because I just like the way they looked a little better, and the trailer is so low I don’t plan to...

You’re not going to cut those fenders down? I’m surprised the spread of the fenders will fit your big tires. James

Do they use non-cambered axles so you can flip them? You might wait on the batwing for a few weeks. There may be something coming out that you like better... PM me for details. James

Any regrets going with this over a Hiker Trailer? Besides the wait time on the Hiker, what else drove your decision? James

Make sure he autographs the trailer before autographing the title. James

Thank you Arkansas Don. Your compliments rank very high in my book. I would start from scratch next time. I would have saved a LOT of time, and some money. Thanks for the garage speaker setup acknowledement! That and the Yamaha receiver and sub were a $10 Craigslist find. Those and the 50”...

Second coat of Master Series primer on today (top structure only), and fenders mostly done... James

Applied a base coat of Master Series paint tonight... a throwback to my VW days.. James

Hey this is James, with the overland trailer in Caldwell. Shoot me a text tomorrow (Friday), we can chat.

Wow small world! Crazy! Yeah that would be great, maybe we can meet up in a week or so, give me time to finish it off :) James

Heaed home today to finalize a few things, then paint. The center rack is for a 4’ Lifetime brand plastic table, and 2 Road Shower 4S models. James

ArkansasDon: I’ve seen your build, fantastic attention to detail! The trailer looks great, and I admire your build quality. I still think it’s funny that people think this trailer needs more bracing. When I bought it at Lowe’s it was rated for 1750lbs. I’ve completely removed the original...
