ARIZONA GUIDE wrote:You have done a great job on your off road trailer. I have been watching your posts and waiting each week for the updates and photos. I like the tires for sure. I am going to do that to mine. I use mine for hunting and prospecting trips so tires need upgraded to take on the Arizona trails. I need the lift done but mine is torsion not spring over so i will take it to a shop and have them lift it for me. I like the bed couch idea except for me i load my ATV inside so my bed platform had to fold to the side. Anyhow job well done so far. I like your keep it simple and clean ideas.

I'll add more pics when I get it loaded up and take it out for the test camp.
Stay tuned!

Seems that I don't recall seeing a green cargo trailer before, but that is a really nice color.
Was just looking at the ad and mural removal part again. Ever thought about getting your own mural made for the back?
I'm considering making a small mural for the back left door on mine, with some lettering over a big photo.
This one (could change if I edit my album, but current 12/18 today)
I just noticed one of the Hall of Fame trailers in the header with some kind of graphic.
Seems like a nice way to add a personal touch.
How is ol' see-watt-ten-aye-hoe treatin' ya?

Hey, a note of caution: You may damage the hinges on your rear door if you mount a (fairly heavy) wheel and tire there...especially given the rough terrain you plan on traveling.

Ah...yeah. The shallow V-nose would cause be a problem for a front-mount spare tire when turning tight. So in the alternative:
1) There's also the possibility of mounting it centered on the roof with the steel bracket anchored to, and across, at least two roof ribs. You wouldn't want it as far forward as possible because of the fiberglass cap (no structural strength). Bring a ladder.
Two other possibilities:
2) Mount behind the fender, maybe Baja style with a spare on each side, or
3) Get a dually adapter kit and run four tires. Flat tire? So what! Mañana! That would be the most burley off-road trailer ever!
