I was finally able to pick up my trailer today. I power washed it to see what kind of shape it is in. It doesn't need much work.

I'm really liking the thought of one of those. Would make it easy to just leave it packed and ready to go at a moments notice. Can't wait to see what it looks like done.

Looking forward to this, I love the old jeep trailers. What does your friend think of you selling the trailer he gave you?

Captain Chaos, I love the Bantam build. I too am working on a Bantam and you have given me a couple of ideas. Keep the pics coming!

Hey sir looks like you and I built almost the same set up. Mines still in work but I wanted to know what type and size axel did you use? I’m trying to run 2017 Jeep Wrangler wheels and the stock hubs are too big for the center of the wheels. Looks like you figured out what works could you help me out?

It's going to be a pretty simple build. Dexter 3500 axle with brakes, spring over, 33s, tailgate, and a lid. I'm going to build a 3 axis coupler, rear bumper with swing away tire carrier, and some kind of a mount for my rtt. I have to get it sandblasted and put por15 on the floor and undercarriage. I haven't decided on a color yet though.
Kinda like my rigs to match in color to be stealthy.

I made a deal to sell my Bantam today. I’ll miss it, but my new teardrop should be done soon!
All that work and then sell it HUH ? I like the tear drop idea, much better than a roof top or tent. I'll stick with my tiny scamp cause I don't have to go outside for nada when the weather turns bad unexpectedly ! Wish I had your fabrication skills, you done a goooooood job.
