Budget Overland Trailer Build Pt3 - Max Coupler Offroad Articulation Hitch Setup & We Go Off-roading

It all started off as a Lowe’s utility trailer. In episode part 1 We striped the trailer down to it’s bare bones and started building it back up! I Starting with beefing up the trailers base and tongue, then installed a new 2k lbs axle and installation kit. This allowed us to adapt larger BFG 33” mud terrain tires wrapped around 17” JKU take off wheels.

Then In episode Part 2 of the offroad trailer build , I continue the plan to fabricate and install a new deck lid for the trailer that will double as lockable storage and provide a solid mounting solution for our Rooftop tent. We also install a few other goodies, like a tongue box for additional storage, some recovery tracks, as well as repurpose some old leveling Jacks I saved laying around!

Now we are here in Part 3 of the build and it’s finally time to install an offroad rated articulation hitch. I’m also installing some safety chains and a new handle to the tounge, 600 miles later on the hitch , I feel it’s time to do this all over again and shorten the the tongue an additional 16”. Check out the video and see the progress for yourself.

let’s get to work. 👊🍻
