| Here`s a poor pic of my U/T. I made it for work when I had my TJ. It matched perfectly. Now I use it pretty much for camping. I need to repaint it to match the JK. I made it back in 2001 mostly from scratch. I had a metal fab shop cut & brake the sides & top panels. I welded the frame out of 2 1/2 angle stock. Bolted/welded on the springs and axles. Bolted all the panels together. Painted it Patriot blue & wired it up. Fun project, but it took me about 2 weeks to build and about $1500 when it was all said & done. And NO, I didn`t just run over my cat...lazy ass, just using him as a chock. I have a diamond plate aluminum tongue box, and I think I`m gonna mount a propane tank inside and a metal jerry can on the out side if this. I really want to fabricate my own tent kinda like the outback style trailer tents. That will take some time as I have to find the right fabric, fine tune my design and sew it all together. Maybe by the summer I will have that part finished. When completed, the tent will be self contained on the lid with all the inside space for gear, ice chest, etc.[img] [/img] | |

| Nice. A buddy of mine just mounted one like this to his: http://www.autohomeus.com/gallery/trailer.php I plan to do the same but I am going to make the trailer out of an old CJ-8 tub i have. Should be pretty cool with the tent mounted on top of it. | |

| That sounds very KEWL! Gotta see that too. So far you`ve got a lotta projects we're waiting on pics The link above is basically what I`m going for. I`m going for a little more australian outback style, but I`m gonna make it myself rather than spend $1000 or more for something thats not exactly what I need. Those are cool though, just mount 'em & go! | |

| I only see one problem with your trailer. The tail lights aren't going to match anymore | |

| When I get around to mine I am going to make it as well. I will probably use an already built tent and make and orgamy style fold out top to accomodate it. And, the lights can be fixed | |
