New/old trailer build 1966 Apache Raven tent trailer

[Mark Harley]

Looks like you went to an auction this weekend.
I have the same shear at work. A classic piece!
Like the matching blue paint on all of it!

You will be the most popular guy on the block!

I already checked to see if he's driving distance from me.

Just 2 hours from me!

 

[Expedition Essentials]

Lol. Right now my neighbors don't like me too much with all the grinding and metal cutting. Too bad

 

[Expedition Essentials]

Wasn't planning on buying any of this stuff, all of it was kept in the hangar where my office is and I always use them. But they told me last week it was all going away and I could have the lot for 300.00, kind of hard to pass that deal up!

looking awesome with the BIG wheels/tires and the fenders.

The Drill Press, and Blast Cabinet I have access to, but the shear and break, for $300! I'm officially jealous!

 

[Mark Harley]

That was a steal! and American made vintage tools, Not the junk out there today!
What is your address? I need to program my GPS.

 

[Expedition Essentials]

Lol. I suddenly forgot. I'll have to back to you on that one.

 

[navigator]

nice build!

 

[Expedition Essentials]

Couple more things done, removable support legs for the top; threaded not welded on. These will serve as additional protection for the corners, and tie in to the top rail of the trailer body to stiffen it up.

 

[jeep-N-montero]

What are you doing to lengthen the supports for the beds?

 

[Expedition Essentials]

Havent gotten that far yet. I'll probably end up making new ones.

 

[Mark Harley]

Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Awesome work! I plan to start a similar project this spring on my Apache Chief. Need to beef it up to follow the CJ and haul the Kayaks and MT Bikes.
