You could probably fit a backing plate on there and just cut it out for the caliper.  That's how the OEM ones are done.

Pretty cool.  At the end it looks like they avoid turning the tires too much or maybe they are limited by something.

Turning the wheels puts a lot of lateral stress on the lugs.  So if your  lugs are hand tight it will cause them to loosen up.  Although, if they're tearing it down every 100yrds it won't matter much.

Limited to having it fall apart  There was not much holding it together.

Cool, but I agree.  Everything is made to come off.  The hood had dosconnects and there were no inner fenders, no glass, etc...  The body is just sitting on some mounts.  No front driveshaft and the rear has some sort of simple setup that doesn't need bolts.  No transfer case either.  Notice, there is no gas tank and no coolant in the radiator.

I think they should use a barn find CJ-5 and try it again.  I'm sure it will take a bit longer.

Not sure I would take it on a long trip or go wheeling with it the way they have everything finger tight. But pretty cool.

3700 is not bad at all, was that with the driver in it?

I have seen a luggage trailer in airport. They used this trailer to get the luggage of passengers. This is a nice trailer because as a passenger, you are not going to carry your luggage. But I have searched that even in a trip, this luggage trailer will change the way you road-trip and enjoy the outdoors, and will give you that extra space you so often need with a small car.   

it's nice to see some thoughtful posts here for a change 

Last time I weighed mine it was around 3700 IIRC. (not loaded down for a run but the tank was full)  That was a long time ago. I might have to hit the scales again. I would think she has gained weight over the years.
