I hate packing up the vehicles more than anything, even though we have everything condensed into boxes it still seems like it takes forever and everything ends up buried. So after looking through SO many threads and videos I decided to tackle building an overland trailer myself!
The starting point is a 4ft Northen Tool utility trailer that I'm extending 18 inches and making a RTT platform and a box with drawers and shelves for storage. My goal is to be under $800 and 40 hours of time spent, so we will see how that goes! I want to make something quality, that will last a bit, and that looks nice. Going to spend a lot of time polishing out details to make it look and feel quality. I don't want to be dragging an ugly piece of junk down the trail.
Day 1:
Picked up the trailer kit and put it all together, fairly simple and straight forward. You can tell this thing is going to need additional support for sure. It has quite a bit of flex and generally doesn't seem too strong, but I'll change that.
As of 9/14/2020
Total time - 1.5 hours
Total $ - $298
