No problem!
This is a view of the tool box and Jerry can holders I installed
Interior front
Interior rear - fridge, 5 gallons of water, above feet storage (lockable), thermometer, featherbed, etc.
View of bed deck, gear loft, clothes line, roof vent, 12V light and hanging storage for small items - the bed is the shelf (with lockable storage underneath) with the sleeping bag and backpack on it (all Kelty, of course!)
All-open view of the front with access ladder
Rearview, I was going to mount the spare tire back there, but never got around to it
A before view
Construction was 1/2 inch plywood skin over 1x1 pine frame. Windows were all from a van (purchased from Ebay). All joints were glued, screwed and caulked prior to painting. Paint was factory Chrystler color of my TJ Sahara - Upper section was color-matched at Home Depot to match TJ hardtop. Interior floorpan and lower sides were rubberized undercoated for durability. A propane heater was placed under the fridge and worked perfectly. The wooden upper was secured to the trailer by about 12 bolts - easily removed if necessary.
I regret selling it, but now at least someone else can enjoy it. The rig is in Colorado Springs (unless the guy sold it) and can be seen sometimes there and up in Park County. Feel free to ask me anything, I love talking about it!

So did it fit down in the bed?
Is there an area there for your feet to drop in to?
If you eliminated the drop area do you think two people could sleep in there?
Originally I figured anything that added weight would make it hard for my Series to tow it, but now that I added an RRC to my cars it could pull that easy.

I had drawings for the original design, but I can't find them. Hope this helps. BTW, I bought the trailer at Willys Acres up in Canada - they have a website, but last time I checked, they were sold out of the trailers.

I just bought an M100 for $400. I really wanted a Sankey, but got tired of waiting. Having the same hubs would have been nice, but it's really not a huge deal for me.
Now I need to get it painted (it's bright Jeep yellow right now) and find some steel wheels and tires. Other than that, it's ready to go

Good-looking products but SHEESH their website needs some help - looks like it's from 1997! I do like the lid design on their trailer though, much better than the heavy side-opening lid my trailer has.

Every now and then, check out www.govliquidation.com The military uses that sight to auction off no longer used stuff, including trailers.
