Question:
I want to build an off-road trailer to pull with my Jeep but I'd like to add a ladder rack and a rooftop tent on it so I can do overland camping and also rock climbing with my Jeep. What parts do you recommend for my trailer to get this done?

Expert Reply:
I've got the best combination of parts for you to get your trailer setup for off-road towing!
Here is a list of the parts I recommend using:
- Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension 3.5K # ASR35HDS02 - OR - 5.2K # T99GR
- Lock N Roll Coupler A-Frame # 336TS504 - OR - Straight Tongue # 336TS528
- Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch # 336VS503505
- Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Ladder Rack - 54" Track Mount - 68" Crossbars # Y54KR
All of these parts are great for off-roading because they provide both clearance and flexibility for different road conditions.
One thing I would be mindful of is making sure your trailer isn't sitting too high because it would be top heavy and liable to tip over. The OverHaul HD sits 19" above the tracks so if you want it to sit a little lower you can use the OutPost HD # Y97KR instead.
