Well, guess I'll introduce myself as well (Brian, and yes, I do actually go by Cobound as well) - new to the forum but not to the concept - been overlanding for about 20 years, 99.9% Jeep related. The other little bit is on my Harley where I carry a hammock, ax, small chair and pull off anywhere and chill by a fire after a day of riding. Although I've had more than I care to mention, I'm now in a
'14 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon (our 3rd one). It's built for the rocks, but it hauls down the highway just the same! We also have a TJ, XJ and a Ram 1500 that all take part in getting us places, remote or otherwise!
After tenting for years we tried a pop up, then a pull behind, quickly sold both and jumped back into a tent...until we found a custom
Heilite off road trailer. Had that for about 10 years until we moved to the cities and no longer had storage for it, or time (kids in sports kill weekend ventures). Started looking again about 2 years ago, didn't even bother looking at most the local stuff because it wasn't nearly as well built as my
Heilite, or the shop built trailers you see shared around here.
Well, I jumped on here the other day and signed up, having found it while searching for more solid hard side trailers...ironically I joined just before I found one I'd been searching for the past 2 years, USED no less. And, trust me, these are unicorns, since the company is so new. Anyway, without further ado, my trailer overlanding days begin again tonight when I pick it up and get it home - super pumped, even if we only use it once this year
While I didn't get the off road pkg, some sacrifices come when buying used...but the benefit of saving some cash now will help...we'll get some use out of it, sell it to upgrade to the off road when the time is right...or I'll simply build this one to meet my future needs. First thing I'd like to do is get a 12v system in it! Other than that, just use it!

Few pix - seller pix, I'll get my own when it's in my possession, TONIGHT!
Open rear galley, has a bunk (son can sleep there if he doesn't bring a buddy) and provides added view through and storage. It also makes it feel more open, larger. One part of buying used, I didn't get to custom design the galley, but I also didn't have to wait 4-6 months build time either!!!
TOTALLY STOKED TO GET BACK OUT!! And looking forward to meeting more like minded folks around this place!
Currently in Cottage Grove, MN...originally from central WI. Yes, winters suck here
OK, gotta share my Jeep, too...Dynatrac Pro Rock 60/80 combo w/ 40's stuck under it. Yes, we overland with it, and also hardcore it as often as possible. Being in MN it's not as often as we'd like - LOL!!
