It's beautiful but I keep telling you that you need to get it dirty, Gillz; maybe I can talk the wife into meeting you halfway this spring...? Care to drag it down to the Grand Canyon or something toward the end of May?
Are you shopping for a RTT yet?

Wow, that's a cool trailer! Have you thought about publishing how you did it? Or showing progress pictures? Did you consider making the top deck to allow for a tent up there? With an air mattress and a couple sleeping bags, you'd be dialed in.

Well I have a custom trailer being built. I will consolidate and post up mostly just pics here. Mike the fab guy did most of the hard work. I finished up at the end and helped out a couple days at his shop.
The Plan

The first sheet!
What became of the first sheet.
Need it to go offroad. Lock n Roll.
All the parts.
Good looking start there!
Suzuki Samurai springs.
Custome spun bushings.
Bushings in place.

Well another weekends worth of work completed. We scrapped the 14" side box that we had and decided that with the suspension travel we could accomidate 16" boxes, so those were worked on.
Things left to do before powedercoat:
Finish the tailgate along with its latch system.
Build the side boxes with their latch systems.
Mount the propane tank.
Mount the fuel cans.
Build the fender segments.
