Looks good Jeff, I like the extra part in the front. Do you think you will need ramps to get the jeep on or is the dove tail enough?

Looks good.Did you add any of the options on? How long was build time or was it just ready on the lot? How does the powder coat look?

The only options that I added were the extra 2ft of length, and the radial tire upgrade. The paint looks to be pretty damn good. It was a special build It took about three weeks to build.

Frickin sweet dude!


You mind me asking how much that set you back? Why'd you go with the fender style deck instead of deck over? (Seems like in our sport the fender style always get mangled due to the driving over them thing that always occurs)

I fit between the fenders. and those are the hd fenders, Not that i intend to drive on them. I dont like how hi the deck overs are. It was like 3400 before the tire upgrade and tax. It is the same as the 20 ft on their site. It worked out to $100 a ft to have the extra two ft added to the front.

That's less than my 18' corn pro. Seems like a great deal!

Gonna want to relocate that plate to the fender, here's my redneck way of doing that. Just need to get a light on it.

I think that it will be fine where the plate is. Every other trailer that I ave towed to my house has drug the tail at one point or another getting up the hill I live on. But this one didnt even drag once. I have an adjustable hitch and when the trailer is level there is about a foot between the plate and the ground.

Looks good. They're decent trailers for the price. I just bought a 16ft with no dovetail and it took them two weeks to build.

Man that looks nice Jeff.. I love the extra 2" on it, The floor on the tongue will come in handy for a tool box, welder, winch or all the above. I am glad you got a trailer I know it been a while since you were looking for one.

The stain looks real nice too. I am sure you will be happy with the Appalachian... I have a 97' 18' 10K, and mine was beat when I dragged it out of the woods and its still going strong only after a mild refurbishment.

I wish mine had stake pockets on it too.. (are you reading this ralph? :) ) or better yet STEAK pockets and Beer Pockets. :)

Here it is in its final position....I hope. I think that I should have plenty of room for the jeep wit the camper folded up.....I hope LOL . I added two screw jacks, one on either side to help level the camper. I also added some eyelets to hold the awning poles.

It fits!!!!!!! I actually need to back the jeep up about a foot or so on the trailer. But it pulls great! no sway at all. You definitly know that you are towing something. But the 7.3 gets the job done.:026:

nice! does it affect your turning radius at all with the camper mounted up that close? cant tell for sure in the pics but it just looks like it would hit.....

tjblair

Nope it clears just fine. THe camper is only hanging over the tounge about 8 in.

What's the tow rating on the excursion?

tjblair
09-13-2012, 12:24 PM
I believe it is 10k in 02 they upped it to 11k.
Im pretty sure the hitch is the limiting factor.

tjblair
09-13-2012, 12:33 PM
Srry it is 11k and gcwr is 20k for the 7.3 4x4.
