I bought ours from Diversified Manufacturing in Bend Oregon in 2004 with a plan to build it into some kind of overland trailer to tow behind our CJ5. This is a picture of the trailer the first day that I had it home.
View attachment 22439 We have since added brakes, 35" tires to match the CJ7, redesigned the hitch, added a AGM battery, some LED lights, a fridge, an RTT and various other touches and modifications. We have done a few 10-14 day trips in the Western states, with theView attachment 22435 View attachment 22437 View attachment 22438 View attachment 22438 most recent being the Mojave Road and desert side trips a few weeks ago.

Iam starting a new project.
A caratrailer. So a combination between a Caravan and a Trailer. A bit bigger as a Teardrop trailer, bus way smaller as a Caravan.
And it will look something like this.
Not very sure about the size. And how it will look like when I am done, but hey, this is a bit the start of our new Project.
