***finished pics of trailer and future adventures throughout thread***

So long story short I contacted Ethos off Road in my search for us an off road trailer. They were local to me up by Lago Vista TX and I didn't even know. Later I found out that I actually knew the owners/operators of the business and had actually camped next to them in Area 51 of Hidden Falls during a couple FJ meets. Great freakin' people! The wheels were in motion...

These are Ethos' pics but should look a little like this when done... I'm going with battery with inverter tongue box under the cooler rack/BBQ delete - add fold down counter/and two tone color Military tan and black. Same RTT w/awning and skeeter screen.

Independent suspension may be a little much, but why not

Soooo weather has been playing hell with getting the trailer out of paint. Told Will not to rush. Wanted the trailer to be sprayed when the humidity had let up. She's all epoxy primed up now and will end up black on tan. Tub, lid, and electrical tongue box will be tan. Fenders/steps frame will be black. Think its going to look great!

Here we go...

Zeus & Lil_Kat's Adventure Trailer build

I have been so busy since I have been back home I haven't even had the time to post my trailer build up. My schedule will be busy next year but I will make the trip to Jambo. It is on my list every year. It was a great experience and a great group of people.

Will did a great fob on my trailer. You will be very happy when it's complete. Jane and I got stuck in all that nasty rain in North Carolina when I was getting re geared a month back and the Mt Rainier from CVT was flawless.

I know you're probably pictured out but could you show/talk more of you electrical box, battery, switches and plug in's (?) ? I really like that storage box but is it filled with all that stuff?
