Default Xj trailer

Hey everyone, looking for a xj parts rig I can make into a 4x4 trailer. Looking to spend around $200 on a body for it. If anyone has one they're willing to sell or donate Id much appreciate it.


Thanks,
Mitch

To the A pillar is just too long. I like the B piller back trailers.

Hey I am planning to do the same thing (it is going to be my winter project). We retired my sons' 4-door, so I am going to use the body. I found a trailer axle w/electric breaks the same width as a XJ axle. I hope to make it look like this. My plan is to tub the whole thing and pretty much make it into a tear-drop style camper.

I love the idea of never sleeping on the cold hard ground again! I also have a Yokahoma Roof Rails with a canoe attachment. Hope to have it ready for next season.

If you're near 6' tall and prefer not having to unload your gear, a pillar is perfect.

I am in love with your xj. You have inspired me to go sand mine down and paint it almost identical...... that is with your permission of course. I don't want to be a copycat

Neat!

Doesn't using the A pillar make it extremely heavy on the hitch?

Not really. We checked it and it was somewhere around 700 lbs

I am sure we would. It's half mine half my dad's. When he gets back from his vacation I will ask him.
