    GOOD DEAL!!!

    id grab one and yes make it into a full out offroad trailer. Like Cody said below Adam has a great build on his trailer. Id go to TTORA as its a full thread of the trailer build and not a cluttered thread.

    But yea id change the mount and make it a bit longer to match your wheel base or be just short of it. Then just modify for compartment storage. Id make a spot for a water tank of about 15 gal at least. Propane. And gas. Spare tires. Then spare tools. Off the back id install a propane burner or too and a small almost sink like thing with a hose attachment for a camp shower too. Fold down table would be nice as well in the back.

    Then id make some removable mounts for my RTT so i could swap it between the truck and trailer..

    hows that for some ideas :p haha

    :thumbsup:

    i think i could get a 3 gal on each side by the tailgate, would be more space efficient than a 5 as far as storage and the extra gal. im liking where this is going. :D
