First major project I'm doing (besides the zook) is a Heavy duty Off road trailer for a guy up the tablelands.

Its made out of 100% duragal steel with landcruiser75 springs, bearings and hubs, electric and 50 square solid axel. It has 2 x 75 ltr tanks underneath with water pump. Two large boxes on front for gennie and battery set up. Ripstop vinyl Stone flectors. its gonna run a treg hitch with the reinforced draw bar running right back to the spring hangers.
On top there is a lockable canopy enclosed with canvas. The side doors drop down to make benches for the kitchen. On top a roof top tent is mounted and a tinnie goes over that.
Got the chassis and draw bar finished. Some sheet metal arrived today.
