Not named yet, I'm not particularly creative in that front...
So. Here's the story.
Found this trailer on here. Had been looking for a utility trailer, and this fit the bill much better.
That's what it looked like when I picked it up. Guy had been using it to haul 4x4's and dirtbikes etc. No title, no tags, no lights. Working on getting the lights back from him as he found them though and working to get a title as a home built as soon as it has lights to pass inspection...
The leg snapped yesterday which was a little weird, but will weld that on tomorrow...
Plans
Fully enclose and turn into a camping trailer.
Step one, remove lift gate thingies, check.
Step two, undecided.
Here's my options. I can either leave it military esque, or I can jeep style it. I have a Grand Cherokee, so the jeep thing is an option. since it has the rails already welded on it, I don't know if I want to box that tub in, or buy the top end of a M101 which is the tub version of the trailer if I can find it, or buy the back end of a jeep and figure out how to make it work. If I do the last option then I'd have the flat bed to put on if I needed it and would leave the enclosed bit on to store scuba equipment and built a camping enclosure on the top. Not sure if I want a roof top tent or just fully enclose it and leave it as is. It's mildly tempting to just buy a cheap Cherokee or Grand Cherokee that has a seized motor or whatever for a few hundred bucks and just throw the thing on top of the trailer. I'd have locks and windows and a tailgate, would be watertight. Would just have to modify the interior a little bit and cut the front end off.
Many options, too little time, but it's in the planning stages and will be updated as things happen. First thing is to get lights and a title. Any opinions or thoughts/ideas are WELCOME!!!
