This build is truly amazing. I'm so jealous of your final product AND the craftsmanship.

Nice work!

Your are truly talented in creating a camp trailer from a farm trailer. Great job! Now make another and sell me your first one.

THanks everyone. I have done some more mods and will try to post pictures soon.

i found the pillar gauge mount on Summit I believe. it was less than $30.00. the glow shift gauges were a bit pricy but I wanted to be able to select colors showing the different temp. reading.

I also picked up the lower Annex for the tent. It was a great addition. you can fit to cots below or ours sons sleeping bed. With that it makes a great spot to place the little buddy heater and not have to worry about it getting tipped over

I installed a few church keys so I would never have to worry about forgetting a bottle opener. Had to have a little fun

Looks like you put a lot of time and effort into this and it looks nice.

However, I was wondering why you did not go full width with the cargo area to achieve more space? Like maybe building it around the fenders.

n_a_i_w

I desided to go with fenders for a few reasons. The first was that i liked the square storage box for stacking reasons. the load doesnt shift on the inside. the second is i wanted box protection pulling down trails. The fenders are also sliders when i getting back into the rough terrian. I wanted to be able to protect the tent and tanks from being slammed agaist obsticals.

Awesome build! I will be doing something like this someday!

Have you considered a functional fold out to use a burner or grill? Do you have any plans for camping this summer? I plan to take our new rv out and tow the xj. Just not sure which roads are good enough to drive it to. Bear Canyon Lake looks like a great destination, what do you think?

bear canyon is a nice area you can access the free camp grounds with your rv and your not to far from the lake. I have a Coleman camp kitchen I carry in the trailer. plus a grizzly cast iron griddle the I put over the camp fire.

Great trailer build. Thanks for sharing

Pretty darn amazing. I have had some nice set-ups in the past but nothing so well integrated.

Cool thing is that he built it and didnt spend a crazy amount of money for one that those manufacturer's make.

I'm constantly getting new ideas and changing things up. I have about
$5000. in the entire build including solar panels, solar generator, solar lights, and my camping supplies.
