Is anyone using old Jeeps instead of ATVs? I'm rebuilding my old CJ7 and instead of selling it I figured I'd give it a new life as a hunting rig.

My wife bought me the 20 cf model from CT for Christmas. It trailers well behind and has 18 inches clearance. will put it through it's test this spring. Here is a pic with it loaded up with my wall tent camp including the, internal frame, woodstove, cots, sleeping bag,chairs,lights etc. Will post pictures once I've actually get it off road this spring with camp set up behind it. I've installed tie downs on it as there was no means of tying anything into the trailer.

I've built a number of these, in 4 & 5 ft models.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Not really
i turned the hubs around backwards to shave width.
Also, this particular trailer was originally designed as a single axle, so it has low fender clearance. I arced the walking beams to compensate for that.
