I just use my old wooden trailer, carries everything, tracks well and has the same wheels as the Jimny.

The Jimny also hauls around my old caravan.

You need to remove the rear bumper to fit it.
As for the trailer have a look on gumtree you might get a good second hand one.

I really like that one you've got zookfastback.

Keep an eye out on ebay too for cheap trailers. 5x3 is a good size but try and get a well made one thats not too heavy. I bought one off ebay and it was well made but hefty, long story short it was ok apart from the tyres and suspension. It was very cheap and when i got it home the tyres were to the cords after sourcing the tyres (i'll come to that) i used it for a load of jobs on a week off and the suspension collapsed as the units were all rotten. i bought my current one off my brother and cut the old one up and weighed it in. Just the metal weighed 100kgs before you factor in the wheels and wood.
The wheels were mini 10" iirc which you would think are easy to get tyres for, not quite. I was lucky and my local tyre place had a pair on the shelf but they said they'd not be getting any more in after. They cost over £65 for the pair. Those little trailer wheels are bought together you replace both the wheels and tyres together and can be bought anywhere from about £18/20 each.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

I could be wrong but i think you can tow 350kg un-braked or a 750kg braked trailer. In other words you can either get a tiny little trailer or have to spend out and get a much larger 750kg braked trailer. Good luck finding one of them, most 750kg trailers are all un-braked. I have only found one braked model. Like i said i could have got this wrong and to be honest i hope i have because i have looking at getting a decent size trailer for my Jimny.
