I don't know if you where at the Show and Shin but the guy Nick that had the TJ with a trailer with a tent on top has a supplier for the trailers and is putting the tops and tents on himself. He is actually trying to get a business going for the trailers. You could get a trailer with gust the water tit lid on it and then put the dog in the back of the jeep

this guy's got the moves,  took him to my daughters school and all her friends mauled him, he loved it ... typical g. retriever ... 1 yr old and especially likes the ladies  ::)

so,  was at the show/shine ,  saw the trailer attached to the jeep - was looking at the bedliner on the jeep and didnt really clue into the trailer I guess ...

yeah,  was wondering if anyone hauls their best friend in a trailer  ... I've tugged a few over the years and they seem so bouncy ?

If  you have a reciever hitch at the back...it wouldn't take much to make a carrier to fit it.
 Kinda like this..............http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0006064520570a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=52-0570&N=4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=52-0570&noImage=0

ive got a "trunk" type thingy in my jeep. i pulled out the back seat and the just cut to fit in a 3/4" peice of ply wood over the wheel arches, and it bigg enough to throw all of my camping gear under and the dog on top. and ive got a BIG dog. about 160 pounds and hes only a little over a year. and it works great for me.
