Calling All Overlanding Trailer Critics!

[derekjmiller913]

Here is my budget overlanding trailer as it sits today. I am finishing up final preps before FJ Summit 2017 which as most of you may know is coming up in approx 3 weeks.

I am welcoming any and all opinions on how to further improve this rig for use down the road (I know, I know... "improvements are subjective, and my needs may differ from yours") but I just figured someone may see something I'm missing and offer some advice. Plus, this thing is just cool. Cosmetic mods, additions, or constructive criticism ideas are all welcome.

(The trailer is getting a new tire put on its 3rd wheel for use as a spare. It mounts to the back of the trailer between the brake lights)

A Max COupler would be a cool upgrade for offroad trailering.

Throw some reflective or fluorescent paint here and there. That color looks like it's hunting for skinned shins and bruised _____.

And fire extinguisher if you do not have one.

I've looked in to these, and they will require cutting and welding. Maybe some day after FJS.

Fire extinguisher is in the 4runner bolted down. Regarding the hiviz measures, this is a good idea not only for my shins, but also for other people and drivers about. Thank you.
