New Jeep + Trailer build (2 steps closer)

[r.stevens]

I am 2 steps closer to realizing my future adventure dreams. Picked up my new Jeep today. It replaced my 2020 Willys Unlimited. And a few weeks ago I hired a guy to build me a trailer. I will post more photos of it as they come available. A RTT will go on top of the trailer.

Trailer looks good. Hard to tell, but looks like a standard torsion axle. If so, it may make trail use kinda rough.

What axle and hub?
Match to jl at 5x5 14mx1.5?

Awesome man keep us updated. I had a dream for my 392 and offroad trailer and it made it happen. Nothing like dreaming something into existence.

Trailer build is coming along. First CVT tent (Mt. Hood) showed up damaged. My guy refused the delivery. Second tent showed up in worse shape than the first. So, employees from their Chattanooga location drove a tent all the way up to Ohio. Only problem was it was the wrong color. Oh well, I rolled with it. Not the end of the world. Just waiting on my car-side Lock-N-Roll hitch components to show up so trailer can be delivered (he sold his hitch with the last trailer he built).

Have a surgery scheduled for March 29th. Won’t be able to lift anything over five pounds for about eight weeks. Plan on using the time to plan my trip out west.

Just need to figure out a kitchen and a bathroom and I will be ready to roll.

I'm thinking something along the lines of this....

There was another one I saw on Instagram but can't remember the name right now. It was a little more expensive at $899.

Surgery number ten in the books. Now to heal and keep planning my epic camping trip. I plan on purchasing one of the following for the trailer. It will work perfectly and grant me easier access into the storage area. I will purchase more of the Milwaukee Pack-Out Containers with some baseplates and lock them right onto this shelf…

Hope you don't mind I post my question here. I just purchased a home built tear drop style trailer. It has a torsion axle on it and I don't like it for the off road use. It bounce around to much. I am thinking on changing it out for a axle less suspension. Any thoughts?
