Re: offroad camping trailer build!!
I'd toss the 35... weight that's not needed & an anchor to hang up on... then I'd do as mentioned and get some shackles... think about a pintle set up or one of the other couplers... then I'd spend a few weeks on Expo. Portal in their trailer forum... it's like going to the mountain top for trailer building.
It's cool that you're having fun... I REALLLLY need to get my $hit together and start working on mine... Curt

Re: offroad camping trailer build!!
i'm not really planning on crawling with it .. just mild trails for family trips.. if i do go crawling then it would stay at camp... so thats what the build is based around
