gwolff's Cargo Trailer Camper Conversion

Haha for real? Yeah man, that would be super cool.

 

shipping included?

 

I would make it worth your while if you came to pick up

 

Cross-country TW Express?

 

Its been done before. @Redmann did an international one


Im thinking about a trip in 2019. Want to get to CO, UT, OR, Seattle, some part of CA, and AZ. But just bumping your trailer Ryan. I dont have any space for it now.

 

Here's what I'm looking at picking up if theyre available:

Sucks to hear about the fender issue man. It could be a lot worse though, so keep at it, fix the problem, get it done and get out there and fu$king enjoy it!

 

Pretty decent deal considering you could pull the tires off and sell the wheels and old tires to recoup your money!

 

How bad will it suck if I get 33s and it still doesnt fit lmao

 

Maybe I should just go with 31 inch tires. There's a ton of them out there, 265/70 r16 is a taco stock tire size. Do you guys think it would look weird with 31 inch tires?

 

When/if you make it over here, be sure to hit me up and we’ll go wheeling

 

Would bump stops prevent the axle from being able to flex that far up? Of course that would mean it rode on them probably. Just a thought.

 

Yeah but I feel like it's better to do it right and have the articulation. I just wonder what a 31" tire would look like. Other issue is that the tires may be passenger tires instead of LT tires

 

Haha that would suck if they still didn't fit! You should be able to measure and verify though.

31's definitely wouldn't look as good, that said, 31's are still really beefy for a cargo trailer! Here's pictures of mine again, so same 5x8, no fenders though, for comparison. They're 265/75R16s (or essentially 31.5")

 

It looks great on your trailer! Most of what I find is 265/70 so just a tad smaller

 

I think it looks fine, that said I went with that size to match my truck so there's uniformity there. Assuming you're running 35s on the JK then it might look a little different, but I think it'd be a stretch to say they'd look tiny. If the expense is minimal, I say go for it. If it looks stupid in your opinion, but it works, then it's a problem you can address down the road (keep the old tires) and really only be out minimal expense and effort. Revert to bigger tires and fix fenders in a year or so when you've enjoyed it some and have the time.

 

This!

 

That's pretty much what Im looking at now. Get the smaller tires, if I don't like them, fix the fenders down the road

 

For those who have followed the whole build... it'll be the third set of wheels/tires I bought for the trailer lol

 

3rd time's the charm!
