Starting with a rugged kit tube frame, Ian welds in a full arsenal of custom accessories built for adventure, then lays down a killer paint job to perfectly match his custom Jeep. By the end, this one-of-a-kind trailer is ready to follow its big brother into the wild — and look just as good doing it.
