Jeep's trailer build.

[jeepersjeep]

I Just purchased it and drove it home today! Cost me $200, which is a ok deal considering the little Jeep trailers are hard to find here in Oklahoma. The tube has alot of rust and has been "Jack-knifed" but, the frame and axle seems to be in good condition for the age. The rust is all over the
floor and halfway up the right side, front, and rear lip. The back of the trailer has been cut out also. Missing the brake

handle and a 1 7/8"" coupler has been welded on.
It all looks rough right now but, Hopefully I'll be able to transform this into a nice camping trailer.

Hey looks like a nice start. Mine was in worse shape, had to build a new frame. Good luck with the build.

Can you read the Data/ID plates?

Looks like you have done this before, is that a M416 in the background?

Got the plates cleaned off last night. 4-51 is the date. Pretty cool!

Also got the brake lights removed. Anyone needing a set? I need to find a lunette. If anyone know where I can get one for less than $150 please let me know. Thanks!

The boss and supervisor stopped by to check progress.

Thanks for looking!

Awesome. I have a very similar trailer right now that we are using around the property. Looks like you have you work cut out for you. Congrats on a great find.

Yeah, the rust sucks.
My next trailer will be my own creation. Can't wait for that!
