    I'm looking around at Overlanding Trailers on the market, they range from out of my price-range, to insanely expensive. I get it, time, materials, profit margins, etc etc.

    I'm a fairly competent DIY'er, I built a Goose Gear like truck bed box with aluminum extrusion and marine-grade plywood for about half the cost of what a like-for-like GG box would run. I think I could do the same with an overland trailer concept, but I'd likely have to start with a simple single-axel trailer to get me moving in the right direction.

    I searched on TW for some threads, but couldn't shake any loose. Just curious if any of you all have done the same, and have any pics or threads I could use as a launchpad.

    Thanks!
