This is my current setup. Big Tex SV30 x 8. I've found that for 2-3 guys out hunting for more than a 4-5 days at a time even a Power Wagon bed with shell was insufficient to carry what I like to have on hand when out for an extended late season snow and crap weather adventure. Especially so when hauling an elk or two and all our crap back out of the mountains at the conclusion.
I still need to flip the axles, install stock some rubicon tires and wheels on it for the extra clearance and added spare tire capability (I may have to modify the fenders to allow for the 33" tires though), and weld on a new hitch with better articulation. It is a 5 x 8 trailer and fits perfectly behind the JT. This setup is certainly not as off road capable as the military trailers but then finding those has proved to be much more difficult that I had envisioned. I have tried for several years to do so. Have found some that were gone in 1 hour and others that were so beat and rusted they were not worth the effort. But this thing meets my needs fairly well.
