I was beginning to wonder about this. I like what he's done with it so far.

Wish I had the skills to tackle it or knew someone (nearby) that could do it.

Wouldn't want it can't get very much in the truck now let alone two beds with no room. My buddy still rags me that I can't even fit a standard ice chest w/wheels in a $50,000 truck...

I'm surprize that the floor wasn't cut out on that trailer to make it a little more deeper for standard ice coolers, etc. Maybe the buyer will do that.

I bought an ice chest that works great with the SSR and the cover closes all the way. Its a 54 qt. Coleman stainless steel cooler that I got at target for $100. I'll take pictures when I get home from work.

Notice no picture of a hitch on the front of the trailer. Shipping to California would be out of sight but i would love to go get it..... and paint it asphalt black.

I have to agree, try packing for a 3 month trip in an SSR. We will be purchasing a small trailer in the near future.

Besides good looks, a nice personality and a lot of money, what am I missing here? The bed section obviously has the same limitations all of our SSRs have, but in the cockpit area which now has only the channel frame, there are a huge number of possibilities. Put in a floor and wrap the area in sheet metal with a simple hinged cover and you have a second storage area for a spare tire or two if they are "standing" and a cooler or suitcases or, dare I say it, ...............

It would be a good companion for a "Show SSR". I would customize the cargo area and add the wood strips.

With the trailer frame so much larger then the bed looks like you would be forced in to heavy fabrication. On the up side you would have more space. I am going to go and check it out if seller is willing.

After getting the ragging and watching my cooler following me in a Jeep to Laughlin. Then bringing it home empty on it's side in the back of the SSR, I went on a hell bent shopping spree to find a cooler that would fit in the " Red Mistress "...
Found an ESPN cooler, not only a sport guy thing, right size, and the plus is it's "RED & SATIN " in color....
Next since it had no wheels purchased a cool foldable hand cart from Harbor Freight now I can wheel up to 500lbs of beer...
Now I think I must have at least four coolers in the garage for different use's but one cool hand cart....

I'm surprised that there are so many postings about not being able to fit coolers in the back or your SSR I have three that all fit fine!

1. Coleman Stainless steel - Anniversary Edition

2. Vintage Coca cola cooler

3. Thermos fire and Ice cooler grill combo - I have to remove the grill from the cooler to get it in the back.

All of these fit in the back of my SSR upright with no problem.

SSR Trailer Visit

All this talk about Cooler's and Color I didn't think any one was interested.

As we all know this is a project here some of my observations and opinions
  • Sweet real deal all steel SSR bed cut at the rear of the door so you have a great jumping off point.
  • SSR bed seems to have it’s own unibody when removed from the frame should remain rock solid.
  • Owner has custom adaptors for the axels so it can run stock SSR 20” wheels and tires.

  • Standard bed liner.
  • Clean and dent free.
  • Tongue length not yet determined. ( not cut to length)
  • Big design questions How to make the top stack area assessable for storage of the ever-popular cooler and spare tire.
Towable today ? I dont see it being towed home with out more fab work.
Sorry I got so involved with talking to the owner I did not check the weld quality or determine the tubing size.

Is is worth the asking Price ? Time will tell it is a auction

Regards,

Tom

Exclamation More Info from the seller

Marc saw the posts and requested me to add this info;

The body is bolted down to the frame.

The trailer will be towable for the buyer if he wants it to be. I didn't want to go any further with putting the hitch on yet, because a potential buyer might have their own ideas on it. (Whether they want the tongue long or short - depends on the body design in the front of the trailer. Must keep a minimum of 42" - 48" for the length on the tongue and coupler for the hitch. I left it extra long on purpose for that reason and I didn't want to weld it on solid yet.

The front storage compartment would have approximately 3' Depth x 2' Height x 5' Width. The reason I layed it out that way, so I could fit a spare tire in the bottom of the storage compartment. Also, the spare could be mounted up under the rear of the trailer to give more room in the storage compartment. There's a lot of possibilities for the right person.

Thank you!
