    I don't know about buying one, but I have looked into building one (when I had my Wrangler). I think it would be fun, and be able to customize it more to my needs, not to mention building on an old army surplus trailer would be more stout for getting to the roads less traveled. When I was looking I was looking hard and it appeared that a guy could build one for about 2k or so. There are plans throughout the internet.

    I've looked into Littleguy trailers. The price is a bit much for me. I would probably buy this cargo trailer and modify it myself.

    2 or 3 grand. Been a while since i looked it up. The littleguy trailer i was looking at was $6000.00. I could modify the cargo trailer and be well below that.
