Build a small, tough, lifted, off road capable Jeep trailer with these plans.  This is a tough little trailer with extra ground clearance for carrying your gear on those out and yonder adventures.  It’s Jeep size (or OHV or side-by-side size) with several design options that allow you to customize the trailer for your needs.  And, we encourage you to make your own enhancements so it’s perfect for YOUR travels!!

Make It Your Off Road Jeep Trailer

Jeep Trailer - Off Road Trailer PlansAttach the accessories you need — things like fuel tanks, a water tank, shovels, jacks — maybe even solar panels and a water heater for some added comfort !!  Fill it with Camping Gear, adventure equipment, or whatever you need.  Since it’s your adventure, put on tent top for camping off the ground too, if you want.  Make it your personal expedition trailer.

We provide the base, then you make it great.  These plans are strong, so feel free to widen it a little, or to add a little length.  Use these customizing rules as a guide.  Use a heavier axle, then make it a little longer, for much bigger wheels and tires.  (Does not change the capacity), but it works if you want big tires.  This trailer design is tough to handle your adventures, so throw in your gear and go.

If you need something a touch stouter, and with a torsion axle, and a little more center ground clearance, check out the Off Road 4′ x 6.5′ 2500# Trailer Plans.

Plans include all the needed drawings plus illustrated instructions.  There is a list of materials and cut lengths.  Plans include many view and step by step / page by page build instructions.  They also include a bunch of options you can use or not — like the sides, an opening top, tailgate, tongue toolbox, etc.  Use your imagination to include the things you need to make it the best off road jeep trailer, perfect for you.

Depending on your needs, this size can be just right for packing a few extra things to make the trip a little more comfortable — and stylish.  Customize for the look like you want, while you customize the function for the gear you need.  This is the launch pad, so add box, a solar panel, a rack, a rooftop tent, or a topper.

  • Trailer bed size is 4′ 4″ wide by 6′ 3″. long so it will actually fit 4′ wide cargo.  (Not chincy on size like many competitors.)
