Here are a few more pics of my Ruger trailer. They are waiting on the propane tank and ice chest holders to get back from powder coat to complete the build.

Trailer is finished and here are a few pictures they emailed me. Now I'm waiting on a freight quote to the DFW area or see if I need to plan a road trip to Denver.

Looks so good I'm not sure I want it to come to a wrenching party. It may just push Mike over the edge! :D

Finally had a chance to work on my Ruger trailer today. Installed indoor/outdoor carpet and cargo tie down rings. Looking at the long range weather forecast that might be all I get done for the next week or so. Have a trip planned in April to Big Bend National Park and the trailer has to be ready to roll by then....... :thumb Floor Vehicle Car Asphalt Metal

Hello Jeepers, yes you will see Glo and I again soon. We didn't chime in on Starbrite's last wrenching party because we had been down in Galveston for Mardi Gras prior to the party and we needed REST........ :lmao:

I'm finally getting close to completing the mods to my Ruger trailer. Early this spring I added indoor outdoor carpet and numerous cargo tie down hooks to the floor and side walls of the trailer. In the last 30 days I have also added 2 yellow top Optima deep cycle batteries and 2 solar panels to keep the batteries charged. This provides more than enough power for my 65 quart Edgestar fridge freezer and other accessories. I also have a 1500 watt 120 volt inverter, LED interior lighting and extra 12 volt and USB power ports. Will do a complete review once I'm finished. Here are a few pictures showing the solar panels and batteries Canopy Tent Vehicle Shade Trailer

Hey Victor, looks like you have that trailer packed full. How has the photo thing been going? I have Star's bumper in the back of my truck, so I know a wrenching party is coming up soon. LOL Hope all is well.

Hey Jeepers, good to hear from you. Yep, if you've got Star's bumper I'm sure a party will be soon. lol The picture is deceiving, the trailer still has plenty of empty space. Some of those items in the background won't be a part of the final build. I hope to finish up with the trailer this week so I can get back to photography. With fall approaching I want to be ready to hit the road in search of great fall foliage. Take care......... :)

Have fun Victor. Remember, the speed limit on the beach is 15MPH. Lots of rangers out there to enforce it.

Sorry for the delayed response but I haven't been on here much lately. I love the Ruger trailer. It is solid steel, no plastic parts and is tough as nails. Honestly, it is probably a bit over priced, but you get what you pay for. I got the longer version and it weighs in at 950 pounds dry. It is rated to carry another 2000 pounds if needed. I probably have another 1000 pounds including 2 solar panels, dual deep cycle batteries, 65 quart fridge, propane tank, 3 - 5 gallon NATO jerry cans of fuel and various other items. It tracks perfectly behind my 2014 JK automatic. Let me know if you have any other questions. šŸ˜€
