Stood this bad boy up today and painted the underside and fenders... primed it with por15 self etching, then bed lined it with raptor liner

Got the doors skinned and latches cut in.
Then finished up the stabilizers and brackets
Did a little prep work to hopefully paint the bottom and flares tomorrow.
The lid should be done tomorrow, hopefully. Then we will build the rtt rack and other topside goodies!

Ive found timelines on trips like this very difficult to predict and it will be very individual. While camping with the in-laws, I experienced just how long packing up camp to get going in the morning could possibly take... Anywho, doing research up front can expedite the process as you'll know...
Got some more odds and ends done today.
Bulkhead in. This will separate the cargo area from the kitchen/ electrical area. Also got some 1/2” rubber mat fitted.
And then test fit the battery/ shelf. I will have my solar controller, small inverter, and all wiring connections in this area...
Yea, that sounds like a good plan. May will still be hot in Moab and Sedona, but should allow you to get to see the grand more. Then you could do a teaser drive through CO on your way back!
Sounds like you have most of the big stops planned. The biggest challenge I see with your trip will be timing. In order to play in the mtns of Ouray, you will need to be there mid to late summer, which will be very very hot in the lower elevation destinations. Two weeks with travel time from TN...
I am running all my wiring up under the top 1x2 frame rail. I tacked in some generic clamps to run my wires through and I’ll do my best to clean them up and keep it neat and out of the way. All my lights (save license plate light) are up high on the trailer like the side markers, as well as my...
Since winter decided to finally come to southern CO, we worked indoors on the kitchen. It’s about 90% done, but gives an idea of what it’s going to look like

300$ isn’t bad for powder coating, I was afraid to ask how much it would cost to do this trailer... you’re build is looking great, keep it up!

Thank you! I’ve always wanted to try tube fenders and this was the perfect time to play. But square tubing and straight lines would be much easier and probably come out better...
I’m going to attempt to spray on a bedliner for the bottom/ frame rails/ fenders. Then just paint the box. What...
Had a very productive day! Got the sheet metal on flares and side runners. Bending to the radius of the tube was a mofo, and we didn’t get perfect edges on the side panels but it’s decent and will get filled before paint.
Also got door frames made and mounted as well as their inner seal...
Thanks! I’m excited about it!
Been putzing on some small stuff the last few days. Got some basic tie downs mounted and some clamps for running electrical through.
Also put side marker leds in and welded a tab for grounding electrical. Then got the spare permanently mounted.
Couldn’t...
Yes, we have an idea of what that will look like and that will probably be coming soon! They wont be jacks that can lift the trailer to level it, just stabilizer bars strapped together.
Today we busted the ole tubing bender out, and got to work! Up front we have the spare tire supports...
Dont let rsbikin fool you, he is the one making this project possible.
Here is the trailer he built behind the jeep he also built (which is even bigger now!)
Feels like we're finally getting somewhere! Got the box framed, front (bike rack) receiver in, and floor on.
Then got to work on the walls
Heres how she sits as of now. Note the spare tire is only mocked up.
The bike is pretty tight to the spare, I will probably just push it out...
Finally back at it after a longer then expected holiday stay in the midwest.
Started by getting the front receiver all burned in and then plated the top
Im pretty happy with the height overall, it should sit a bit lower with more weight on it. We shall see!
Got the wires run on the...
Gotcha. We have an event in Sedona the first weekend of March, so we should be in Mexico before the second weekend (10/11). It sounds like the first part of our trip is a lot like your last trip. What would you want to do/see if you were to come in March? Further south thgen BoLA? Sounds like a...
Thank you so much for sharing, and awesome photos! Seems pretty straight forward, thanks for the list of documents it seems pretty simple but Im sure its harder in person. Sounds like going Mexicali to Ensenada would be quicker then through Tecate. Then camping south at Punta Cabra for the night...
