Trailer build

[megolfer]

Well I started on a rework of my 4x4 trailer. I built this trailer when I was in high school and never really finished it like I wanted. Here are some of the plans.

I got a Roof Top Tent off IH8MUD for $225
On Board Air using a lincoln air ride compressor and 3 gallon tank
Either a generator or power inverter
RV reserve battery
16 gallon water tank
Storage Drawers in the rear
5 gallon propain tank
on board grill
Fuel can storage
33 or 35" tires (Not sure if the 35 will it)
Spring Over

I need to to make a roof for the trailer and will use some gas shocks like used on hoods of cars to hold up the top.

Here is a link to pics

It will be a slow build, hopefully done in time for the wheeling season.

followed your links, thanks!

QuickFist are awesome, tho they don't lock. Our newer FD resuce trucks use them to hold tools, and Desert Rat gave me a deal on them when I bought tires.

Test drove the Sports Shade only once, should work nice w/the Mag. Adventure I'm getting. Careful if windy though. Ditto for AP awning, and the top support poles might bug after a while. Used multi-tie-point wing on canoe trips in Boundary waters, highly recommend, very versatile.

You might think about army surplus shade/netting and tent material tarps. Used to successfully set up a mini-helibase for my helitack crew a few years back, with a rental Chevy TrailerBlazer as support rig. Not pretty, but it worked in 100+ degree heat on a sandy piece of AZ desert north of Mt Lemmon.
