SUV to camping trailer hackery. A trailer made from a Grand Cherokee but sold it too soon

Edit: I sold it before finishing.


This will be a somewhat absurd camping trailer that I will build on a very low budget and without the patience for fine craftsmanship. However it will not disappoint.

I had actually started this madness last summer, but I was just putting it in my Tacoma build. Since that build is pretty dead, I decided the trailer deserves it's own. How it started compaired to how it sits now:




The final plan is for the jeep body to have its own floor that sits down on top of the trailer floor. This allows for around 5 feet of interior height. This also will allow me to slide the camping portion off like you would a cab over camper from a truck bed, so the trailer can be used for utility when needed. The doors are simply removed temporarily to make it easier to work in and around.

 

Lol. Subbed

 

Here are a few pictures I took along the way.

 

subbed for the interesting build that this is

 

It should be entertaining at least.

 

gonna use the jeep wheels for the trailer?

I have a six lug axle for the trailer. I am going to use my old Tacoma rims. Jeep ones would be cool, but it will be nice to have one spare fit every wheel.

 

Mad skillz need for this build. Lol. Subd

 

We now have a floor!

 

Painted the under side today. I figured it would be much easier now than lying on my back under the thing later. Used up some old paint from the basement.
Happy Friday, by the way!

 

And picture with the Tacoma, since this is a Tacoma website.

 

I think this thing will be pretty fun project.

 

This is awesome.
Are you putting the unibody on top of a frame?

Edit: Never mind... I see what's going on now. Carry on
