@Bob (Fishingbob) , just wanted to check in, bring the Morris Mule thread back to life, and see how your trip has been going? How's the trailer holding up?

Great to hear, we are loving ours so far. I'm not surprised at all at the level of service. I met Jeremy and Morris, both stand up guys.Morris sent out the New axle no charge no freight-received it within four days-not bad at all. Now installed and everything is back to normal. In fact I drove to Aransas Pass (home) spent two days handling a few things, drove to Alabama visited with Jeremy at the Morris Mule shop (Morris was out) dropped off the damaged axle and now I'm on my way to Rhode Island for a month.
Can't say enough about the guys at the shop-good people to work with. He has a good crew working on the trailer. I did find out a few changes they have made to the trailer-and also the fact they can custom match colors so the vehicle and trailer match-I don't think that was available when I ordered mine. I will be back at the shop when I come back from Rhode Island heading back to Aransas Pass--Hopefully I can spend some time with Morris.

Morris definitely stands behind what he builds, that's for sure. And I wish they were doing the color matching when I bought mine! I tried to find powder that matched my Rhino JKU, but none of the Powder suppliers had anything that was really close enough, so went black!Morris sent out the New axle no charge no freight-received it within four days-not bad at all.

Hi Bob,Hi Steve
I didn't get a chance to meet with Morris on the way to Rhode Island, but I talked with Jeremy. One change that they have made to the bed is adding an all weather sealant between the meetings of the sides and bottom, basically sealing the box completely, much improved weather sealing -Morris should add this feature to their website to pass the information on. I completely applied "Monstaliner" to the interior of mine basically sealing the interior off from the elements-worked great. I will be at the plant again at the end of the month on the way back to Aransas Pass, TX, will be meeting with Morris. Talking with Jeremy, he mentioned the color matching of the trailer to the vehicle. He also mentioned if the customer is adding larger tires (like the 35's you added to the trailer) they change the fenders to a larger size, also adding two additional mounting points for support. I think he also mentioned additional modifications to the width of the upper rack area-to accommodate larger size tent footprint bases.
With the increased interests in "overlanding" utilizing the "Morris Mule Trailers"- the availability of possible modifications to the trailer, if the information was known, would increase the demand for the trailers.
I purchased a "Snomaster" frig/freezer classic 56L, will be adding this to the Jeep this winter. I will also be wiring the Morris Mule trailer to accommodate fold-able solar panels etc. Still working out the details.
Really enjoy the information others have posted to OB forums - Great information on projects in the work!!!
