    Overland Trailers

    Here's my Lil' Adventure Trailer. It is based off a heavily modified 4' trailer frame I bought from Harbor Freight on-line years ago. Here's a build thread: Mini Harbor Freight (type) Trailer Ultimate Build-Up Thread - JeepForum.com The tongue has been extended, a cooler tray placed up...

    Let them eat SPAM!

    My Mom used to slice it, and fry it with a little brown sugar and pineapple on top. I always thought it was a special meal. My wife hates it; so I usually only get Spam when camping. I need to check out those individual slice packets. Actually, she's going to be gone this weekend (driving...

    Here's a link reviewing the Overland propane tank mount, and further on I come in and describe how I modified the fire extinguisher mount to work for my 5lb propane cylinder. Also includes links for purchasing one of these fire extinguisher mounts (or you can take the model number and see if...

    propane tanks

    I bought a 5lb propane cylinder, and modified a fire extinguisher holder to make it work as a mount (the mount is larger than a 10lb CO2 cylinder mount). I cut the top off the mount, and drilled out the spot welds on the straps and inside attachment pieces and remounted these pieces back to the...

    Little Harbor Freight type trailer build

    One nice thing about this little trailer, is you can still access the trailer's contents even with the tent opened-up.

    Little Harbor Freight type trailer build

    Thanks! I love this thing; I get a lot of use out of it. There's only so much you can put in the back (or on top of) a Jeep TJ. This trailer really lets me take what I need to enjoy myself when on one of my adventures. Sometimes it is the little things (or not so little things) you're able...

    Ok; I'm in. I'll have to leave Friday morning - it'll be a bit of a drive for me to get there before sunset/Friday evening. Did someone mention snow?

    Little Harbor Freight type trailer build

    I started building this little 4' HF-type trailer about 10 years ago. Here's where it is at so far. I would say "I'm done", but projects like these are never done. I'd still like to mount a hand-brake to the trailer (need to pull the drums and see if they are set-up for it). The tongue has...

    Hi I'm Paul. I'm in SW WA. My main rig is a very modified 98 Jeep TJ, and a little home-made trailer. I'm somewhat experienced. Seems like I was doing this before it was called "Overlanding". I'm hoping to do more of it.
