Hi E-the-R,
I'm not the one who requested the photo, but I'm glad you posted them. I've been seriously considering putting a strip around the lower portion of my trailer, similar to how you have yours. I'm also going to buy a set of Jeep style diamond plate fenders to complete "the look".

After I had my all-steel teardrop trailer painted white, I took it down a bumpy dirt road. As one would expect, it had a lot of tiny rock chips on the frame and front of the trailer. Since I put the diamond plate on, it has a clean look to it and no more (visible) rock chips.

That thing looks like it could stop a bullit. Kinda reminds me of Mike's Baja Benroy.

Wow--nice and clean build!
Does that a have a conventioanl rear-opening galley? Not only does it look large from the photo (very tall walls), but the door too looks exceptionally tall.

Yes, the doors are taller than normal because I designed them so I wouldn't hit my head or knee when climbing into the teardrop. The trailer also has a standard galley with a special feature. I'll take a picture of that in case anyone wants to copy it.
The trailer is probably bullet proof, but I don't want to find out. It is all steel (the skin, frame, skeleton, and bottom floor). It is heavy, but tows like a dream down the bumpiest dirt road.

Here is a photo of the galley.
And a photo of the galley with the door open into the sleeping quarters. You can sit in bed and get access to the kitchen to make yourself a sammich.
