I posted a picture of my trailer. BrockGrimes was kind enough to comment and asked for some additional information.
The box is roughly 4 x 6. Made out of 2 x 2 x .188.
Tongue is a length of 4 x 4 x .250. Made it long enough so that the trailer can go 90* to the Jeep.
Axle is rated at 3,000 lbs and features 5 on 5.5 hubs to match the Jeep. XJ springs with an additional leave. Running in a SOA fashion. Perches, mounts, shackles etc all came from RuffStuff. Chevy P30 delivery van shocks were the shortest I could find. 37 inch MT/R`s on matching beadlocks (don`t tell CJ
) with the Jeep.
Cut all the steel to length and took it to a local trailer manufacturing company. They had the jigs to weld it up straight and square.
Used a hitch from Lock-n-Roll
Lock N' Roll Trailer Hitches
The
YJ Is "painted" 360* with Speedliner bed liner. Took the trailer frame plus the side panels and had them sprayed to match.
Did the floor with cedar and three lengths of Uni Strut. The Uni Strut has elongated holes that allow things to be tied down to the floor with straps.
Also used Uni Strut on the bed rails and the cross supports for the top.
Wired up LED lights and made up a little power center. The power center has a couple plug in the main box and also GM weather Pack outlets at the tailgate. Used a big deep cycle battery. It will run the `fridge and lighting all weekend long. Mounted a voltmeter in the main box to monitor battery voltage. LED`s tell which circut is on. Military waterproof toggle switches are used.
A sheet of marine grade 3/4 ply was also sprayed with the Speedliner. An aluminum sheet protects the surface. 1 inch diameter tubing makes up a rack that is sized for 3 storage bins.
A couple of angle iron rectangles were cut and welded to mount a pair of waterproof toolboxes on the top of each fender. Not shown is the hold downs for each box.
90* degrees
Top of the trailer is the same height as the tub on the Jeep. An older picture taken before the beadlocks were installed all around. Plus the trailer was far from done at this point.
Future plans include an on board pressurized water system and a couple more storage ideas.
Thanks for looking !!

Light duty axles with stiff springs. Guess the steel could come in handy.
