    I have been working on the first trailer I acquired. I have to many and I need to make it someone else's soon.
    Here is what I started with.

    It is a little short on the front end.

    This is how it looks today.

    Tomorrow CJ6/442's cousin Lee and I are heading down to TDS for the day, I am going to take this one cause I need the practice towing off road.
    Steve's cousin Lee is going to take his new to him CJ6 so a caravan of two might be kind of unusual for this area.
    If you see us be sure to say hello!

    Hang a for sale sign on it while driving around.
    Take the pink with you.

    No special driving skill required with the trailer behind you.
    It will follow you wherever you go.
    Just think twice before you act.
    Just make sure you can make it up any hill, don't want to have to back down obviously.

    Finished the tail gate last weekend. Here's the pictures, I kept the really hacked up back panel and built a framework around the opening.

    I used rectangular tubing to reinforce the opening.
