Wow, I REALLY like what you've done with that Bantam! Did you make the rack custom, or buy it from somewhere? The chuck box you made is on my to-do list once the trailer is roadworthy. It looks great! Here's an update for those of you that are interested :) Yesterday I made lots of progress...

Haha definitely not a bad thing, but i really love the look of the Spen and want to keep its uniqueness :)

I have thought about it, but i think if i went that route it would lose its "spen -like" quality and look too much like a bantam. That sure is an awesome trailor though!

One thing that I really like about the Spen is the tailgate. It lends a very classic look to the trailer and adds quite a bit of usefulness. What it doesn't do is maintain a rigid structure in the rear sheetmetal section of the trailer. As you can see in the above pictures, this lack of...

Im out of town this weekend but the plans for next weekend are to sandblast the tub and install the axle. While i got you guys here, what are your thoughts on leaf springs? The stock Spen springs are 36" eye to eye. I was thinking about swapping the springs to cj5 leafs which are a foot or so...

So I'm updating this fairly rapidly, since I'm actually quite a ways past the initial "stare at it in wonder" phase. When I got the trailer, I thought it was in pretty good shape. Upon further investigation, however, I realized that the front part of the frame on both sides was rotted out where...

Copied from my posting at earlycj5.net. I thought you guys would get a kick out of my build: Good morning everyone! Last summer, I had the good fortune of finding a Spen model S for sale ~4 hours from home. My girlfriend and I made the trek out there with the plans of towing the trailer home...

Good job!!!!!!

Aren't those drain plugs, not tie down points? Maybe I'm thinking of something else......

I just replaced the First gen Toyo AT's on my F150 with the AT2's, and I couldn't be happier with either tire. I got 60,000 road miles on the first set and expect to get a similar amount on this set. Toyo has very good quality control practices and as such, their tires require minimal weight...

Would it be possible to fabricate a similar hitch to this one by cutting a longer receiver tubing section vertically, and bending it to follow the frame angle so you wouldn't have to weld on ears?? Would there be any strength in it, or would it just break? Would it even be possible to bend the...

It's looking great guys!!!! :Wow1: Keep up the good work!
