Demonstrating My Off Road Camping Trailer
This is an off road trailer I built to tow behind my Samurai and Jeep. I usually put a few totes with my camping supplies on it, and fill the toolbox with my tools. I have towed it all over OR, WA, and CA on all of the Oregon Backcountry Discovery routes; it has always worked perfectly. It is amazing how useful it is for those week long backcountry camping trips. The sound at 0:32 is a set of spare D30 axleshafts rolling around in the toolbox...
nice demo dude……..handy trailer for sure
Thats sweet! what kind of axle did you use? I want to turn one of our old trailers into an offroad one like that
@bigfish848 The axle is a piece of 2″ DOM tubing with dexter stub axles welded into the ends. The springs are at factory Samurai axle width, so a Samurai axle can be bolted in (easy way to carry spare samurai axle parts off road)
@sewerzuk this is exactly what i want, about how much all together is in this trailer? is it wallet friendly??
@ScRoTe1992 I scrounged a bit when I built it; wheels/tires, Samurai springs/hangers, trailer lights, pintle eye, and few other odds and ends were spares I had laying around. I bought the toolbox ($279 from Summit Racing), frame steel and decking (roughly $150), stub axles/hubs (roughly $90), and a few other odds and ends like paint, decking bolts, etc. So, I was a little over $500 into it. I put a lot of miles on it…worked great. Very useful on tight trails.
very nice. I was looking for ideas for small but rugged trailers I could make up for my Sami to pull. very well done it looks like.
