  • Jeep Comanche Camping Trailer

    This is what I've been working on lately. A camping trailer that will hold bikes and kayaks. Hopefully I can find a denote and inexpensive ladder rack to install on it. I traded with a buddy for some wheels and tires I had on old Jeep I recently bought.

    Complete:
    - paint
    - wiring the stock taillights

    ToDo:
    - State Patrol inspection
    - Colorado plates
    - TracRac Ladder Rack system for kayaks
    - bike racks in the bed
    - custom rear number
    - tool style box for the front tongue(for PFDs)
    - new tires

          What about putting on a trailer hitch and use a readily available bike rack to leave the bed open for stuffs?

            I think they would get too much whip action on the back of a trailer. it already moves quite a bit, nothing unsafe by any means. It's not like towing a car will all four wheels down. There is not weight or torc in the trailer suspension, so it bounces and doesn't suck up the bumps like something else that might get a hitch mounted bike rack.

            I have decided to not put the rack in the bed. I'm going to use the rail mount, screw down, front fork mounts instead. That way I can haul mulch etc if I need to.

              Got the front kayak mount on this evening. The mosquitoes chased me inside before I got the back 1/2 on. Tomorrow I should have the rear bumper on and the back kayak mount.

                  That should work out well for you. The new wheels look a lot better then the old ones.
