my expidetion trailer

[cllowe]

Been working on this for a little while and pretty much done now. I have to cut some windows in and sew some netting in and get some new tires. It started out as a appache tent trailer and the tent was gone so I built a frame and made it in to a small pop up. The canvas is actually a parachute.

Nice and compact. Storage is below the tent I'm guessing. Another project on my todo list.

Looks nice! Forgive me, as I have forgotten what kind of fabric parachutes are made of, but does it breathe well and give ventilation for hot temps?

they do not breathe well at all. I could have baked a cake in that thing yesterday. I went and got some small netting and am going to put some windows in it. I would have thought there would have been enough air circulating through it but I was wrong.

That thing is pretty sweet I'd love to have something like that.

Ok it is finally done. Got the 12 inch tires and put 14's and had to lift 7 inches to get them under it. Canopy is a 3d camo net. Now just have to get a weekend off to go aout and break it in.

Looks awesome man. I too want to build something similar with a military trailer type of feel.

I've seen a few builds of those little Apache trailers on different 4x4 sites, I really like them. Yours looks awesome! I like the ammo can on the front too, nice touch.
