I did see 1 or 2 pics of XJ trailer but did anybody did it. I was thinking of getting a cheap XJ for some parts and gut it and cut the front clip off to make a camper-trailer. It more to have a bed and storage. I would attached a tent to it on the side to make a kind of kitchen. Any idea or pics of any?
 
yep i have pics of such a trailer i can email em to ya i dont have them hosted anywhere. Or if you find out where for me to get them hosted at and the its free and not a bitch to fill out the memebership its about time i got some pics of crap online.

in terms of work i would do a m101 trailer if its just you sleeping and you are gonna combine with a tent, maybe even chop the m101 to make wider and longer and make a pop convertible top.

if i was gonna do an xj trailer i would think of maybe doing an MJ long bed with a top on it. That would get you 8 feet to sleep in.

If yout gonna do the 2 door xj chop as i posted i would skip the time of cab of a mj and rear of two door xj, i would simply put a rear hatch on the fron of a choped xj, so you have a hatch on either side. That seems easiest to me.

MAN i have been think the same thing lately.

It all started when i went to the TOYS 4 TOTS in chicago and some guy had a camo tj on 35's pulling a camo tj trailer on 35's he chopped from the front bumper to the firewall.

all you guys are getting rid of the doors

i was thinking more along the lines of Getting a 2 door , Chop it to the firewall, ANY KEEP THE DOORS

that way you could

1. get it and out
2. sleep in it
3. store extra crap
4. look better IMO
 
I have an MJ truck bed trailer that I found for sale on the side of the road for 300 bucks. It works great and came with a 4.5 inch lift. perfect!
 
These are are Canadian trailers. The Canadian Forces sold all of them for 200 to 300$ and people are now resaling them for 800 or 900$. I think they weigh about 500lbs.

I'm with you on this, I am the proud recipient of a FREE two door XJ that matches my daily driver perfectly, plus all the parts I wanted/needed for my DD!!

I mean to chop the front off at the fire wall and keep everything aft of that. My biggest concern is tongue weight.


I wonder if I'll have to move the axle forward?

We have a military? I thought we just had guys who trained to do "Peacekeeping" for the U.N.
