Once I completed the frame-off restomod of my '74 FJ40, I got the crazy idea of a trailer for it to pull.
The idea is it must be light enough for the 40 to tow it.
Have all needs and some luxury for camping.
Have enough water for my wife to go 4 days.
Can't look like a cobbled together POS.
It will have a kitchen slide and a refrigerator slide on the passenger side. Cabinets on both sides and a 38x60 cargo drawer out the back. 50 gallons of water, RV pump, tankless water heater, outside shower. The roof top tent and a 270 awning.
I found a pretty much junk utility trailer for the frame. I was hoping the axle would work for me but, it was bent and the springs were tiny and were sliders, not shackled. So, new axle, suspension, spindles and hubs. The photo is after I stripped a rotted plywood box off of the frame. New suspension and axle.
