Just buy an M105A from a military auction for cheap.

I get it, but with a baby coming, some sweat equity is easier to find than a spare $2300!
i think it'd be pretty cool to have a disco trailer. there are definitely easier options...like buying a trailer. or better tub options like a series shell, but it'd be cool to see a disco towing half of its twin around on the trails

Makes sense to me
you really cant off road that the same way you can a military trailer
i saw a military trailer sitting in someone's yard on my way to tuskegee the other day. If i wasn't sure I'd probably get shot on my way to the door I woulda inquired whether it was up for sale.
If this wasn't in Canada I would own it.....

I try and take a look this week and either get the GPS coordinates or just go ask. there are also some old military ambulances in another yard around there which could also serve as a possible vehicle to chop and make a trailer out of.

I don't understand the hate. I've been sitting on three Disco bodyshells with an idea of making a camper out of them. Sleeping in the back, grill in the engine compartment.
Made sense to me, in spite of the weight.

The Sankey - or other 'military' trailer - is the way to go. The nice thing about the Sankey is that it uses the same bolt pattern as the Disco or Series Rover. It also floats if you screw in the drain plugs. Behind the Disco, you hardly know it is back there, even off-road. Not so much behind the 88"....

we took 2 rrc's made them into cargo trailers here at Columbia Rovers, they were just some old rangies that we parted out. we use them to haul scrap metal and stuff like that. i dont know all the details on the build but here are some pics. the doors still open for easy side loading as well.
