Expedition Trailer Build

[ChopTopXJ]

My grandfather gave me this Bantom military trailer years ago and ive finally decided to buikd it into an Expedition Trailer. It started out looking like this

I think im going to fully enclose it and there will be this rooftop tent mounted to the roof

I picked up a set of 31s and some wheels to go on it to make it a bit taller and wider

I'm thinking about using this mail jeep door when I enclose it.

.... I'll be watching this one. Got a lil trailer I've been thinking of doing the same with it.

Neat build thread, that 'manche is sweet too!!

Fun project. Looks like the wheel pattern matches the jeep, in the event you need more than one spare to get home.

How can I get such a trailer. A Bantam, or similar size military trailer.

It's actually 5x5.5 so it won't work on the jeep which sucks but I may swap the axle later on so that it does match the jeep. You can sometimes find these trailers on craigslist.

I actually got to use it for the first time this weekend in the Pisgah National Forest. I'm happy so far but still several things to do to it before it's complete
