Dirt Bound Offroad Trailer - Build Log

[Chris@T&J]

Yup, that's the XJ.

I did retain some wood on this project, just got some 3/4" exterior grade plywood for the floor. it will be sealed and painted then bolted in.

I got some new foam for a new mattress and made a new cover for it. I mounted it to the jeep and tested it out and I slept so well... Ill never use a ground tent again haha.

This morning I headed to the steel yard with a bunch of sizes and had them cut up 2 4x10ft 16g steel sheets, $160 later I had my steel for the sides.

The front box I folded the top lip. (It helps I have a shop full of metal working tools.)





The sides I welded on the inside so once it is done you will see the frame work.

The trailer looks sweet! Where was this picture taken though?

With the tent on top probably around 500

Im gonna say 900+ with the tent. No way its 500.

I'd bet the trailer alone is more than 500.
