I've been looking at getting a trailer and finally picked one up today! It's a 1965 Military M416 B1. She is rocking a 2000 watt outback power inverter, 4 optima blue tops, 160-watt solar power charging. Dexter D35 axle. I'm going to throw the same wheels and tires on her and get the pintle hook receiver modified to allow the rear tire carrier to remain functional with the Trailer attached. And of course paint it the same color as Jade eventually

So, I'll be making some changes and improvements which will be my build to make it my own!

Hi, I'm Jake! I am currently on a 50 state road trip and live out of my 94 YJ Jeep Wrangler, Jade. I also video document my travels and you can see them here -https://www.youtube.com/iamjake Jade has undergone 4 transformations since I began. Space has been tight but has been okay for me and my Jeep dog Annie! I now have a girlfriend who'll join me and Jade was not equipped to have a passenger along! So I most recently completed an interior custom fabrication that included adding back in a passenger seat, an interior sleeping platform, added a 12volt refrig/freezer...and space is still tight so I've been looking at getting a trailer. Well, I finally picked one up today, 12-01-2017! I'm currently visiting state #5 Arizona and found one on my travels. It's a 1965 Military M416 B1. Below are photos. It also came with lots of extra goodies which will serve my purpose of being off-grid for longer periods of time.
