My WWII bantam trailer!

[achampagne]

These came today!!

I'm on the road for the next few days, so no new progress will be made until Friday, Hopefully my fenders will be finished and available for pick up by then.

 

[achampagne]

Got lots done today, finished sanding, primed painted, cleaned the new wheel, and rehabed a jerry can, the other had a pin hole in it, and picked up my new fenders from Kens!!

Just waiting on a set of tires from Sean @ Ken's, and I can get the wheels mounted.

achampagne added 56 Minutes and 42 Seconds later...

Getting there!!!!!

are you going to stay with the stock hitch? I was always afraid of my stock Fulton hitch popping off as it was worn and would make all kinds of popping noises on and off road. I got a Max coupler from Adventure trailers and fabbed a mount for it. the original safety chains were too short so I am using M416 safety chains. the Max coupler will slide out of the trailer for added theft protection.

Fenders on!

New lights installed, I hacked off the old light panels & lights, and drilled the frame and installed the LED's: red in the rear and yellow along the sides.

All I need now is the tires and I am good for a while!

I will at some point change over, but for now I am using the ball. I am building this with limited funds at the moment.

Well since my trailer came without a tailgate, I was able to find a CJ tailgate complete for $50.00. Now I just need to make it fit!

 

[achampagne]

I gutted the old wiring and completely re-did it and add brake lights.

My 33 inch tires came in as well. I get them mounted on Weds!

Mind if I asked why you decided it wasn't for you?

 

[achampagne]

The main reason is my condo association decided it was against the rules to keep here, the second is I just need a larger vehicle for 2 people, 2 80-lbs labs, and what we hope is a baby on the way.

I am actually looking at weatherm's 1980 seires III 109. I've always wanted one and it has more than enough room.
