    Insert two cents:

    Nice, but I think I would be a little concerned about the weight hanging over the back edge but you know what your doing and what you'll be carrying.
    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    Good point John, but to counter balance whatever is in the box, (alum floor jack, alum jack stands, oil, nutz-N-boltz, extra shocks, tie rods, etc) I have a set of of 35" tires on 20" wheels that tips the scales @ 400+ lb...
    They sit four wide across the front.

    And to say the box is overkill mounted to the floor of the trailer would be a blasphemous understatement...

    It'll be about like this, only gnarlier, when done...

    Sooooo, how long before it gets a lift and a couple of those 35's end up on the ends of the trailers axles? Also a matching paint job...silver with flat black fenders!


    Oh yea....needs more cowbell!

    Good point(s) Guys...

    I was thinking a long arm four link with coilovers & 33's might be sufficient...hmmmmmm...maybe I just found a use for my almost bald Mud Grapplers.
    Of course I'd need to fab up some wider fenders...

    Cow Bell?...look real close when you get to Moab...

    Talking

    Still haven't quite decided for sure, but...

    I'm thinkin the trailer needs a little sumpin-sumpin to set it apart from the herd...
    I be leaning toward the top one in the pic...

    What Y'all think... or
