View attachment 1193788 I built my expedition trailer from 2 FJ40 tubs. It is a pop up and features a queen size bed, 21 gallon water tank, dual swing out tire carriers, slide out kitchen and gear storage trays, roof rack, plumbed for hot and cold water at the faucet and propane to the stove and lantern mast. Additional slide out platform for BBQ. Also has a shower, and rotating lunet coupler.

This is great, a Toyota based trailer, sick!

That is class... i like it if i had a couple of tubs i would do it too.
Great Build OM
 
Here's a few - frame & suspension are original M-416, but that's about it. Got the trailer years ago, but decided the tub was to tweaked to make a top for it, so I built a box - my first significant welding project. The PO had replaced the original axle with a SOA drop axle with 6 lug hubs. Had the fenders made up at a local sheet metal shop. It's done well for what it is - I've pulled it up to Yellowstone & Glacier, Kokopelli trail, Canyonlands, and a few passes in the San Juans.

I know the pintle is made for mobility but offers no resistance on tounge rotation. It didn't look like that big of a rock and your COG looks pretty low, was momentum the cause?
I don't think anyone would want resistance to tonge rotation.. I run a standard pintle with spinning lunnette ring to avoid twisting or ripping of any hitch components.. If the trailer should ever go over it would be a simple matter to up right it and continue upon our merry way..

Oops,, it's too early, I've already said this.. Can anyone say douche?
 
I installed a shade awning. After I got it all set up on my lawn to see how it looked, I had to grill some chicken :)

Nice trailer man! What clips did you use to attach your hi-lift jack,shovel, and axe? Where'd you get em?
They are Quickfist. Pretty commonly available. In Calgary the Gear Shop or Modern Motors will have them, I'm sure
 
Took it out for a spin over the weekend.

Both shots were on the way back from Overland Expo West last week.
