this is the new toy - iv since fixed the rust, changed its color, replaced belts, and am redoing the headliner now

 

Nice!!

 

I like it bro.

 

Thanks.
loving the room.
I never really took any of my XJ's on tight trails, mainly just camping rig and forest roads so I think this will do better.
May still try and get an MJ for a hardcore rig but really want to build an off road tear drop trailer.

 

this has a 360 right? Just get a trailer that is half hauler and half living quarters, and build a dedicaed off-roader? personally I cant have a strictly off roader.

 

work in progress

 

everybody said it was as big as a battleship so i painted it battleship grey, or should i say - bedlined it- oh yes. Durabak bed liner smooth.

and yes, its got a V8 - 360 ci that is!

i dont trust it to pull a large trailer but maybe
decent size popup or offroad tear drop

 

looks good not of fan of the chrome but to each is his own.

 

I'm not a fan of Crome either, but I think it looks good on the full size jeeps. Would love a j10 like that

 

I'm not a fan of the chrome either but I'm getting so tired of sanding and prepping I think the chrome will stay for a little while. Eventually I'd like to black durabak , or flat black rattle can, all the chrome.

 

Looking good. Lets ride!

 

So I saw a TJ at my school today... From a distance: hi-lift mounted on the hood, 35" tires, CB antenna, bumpers...

up close: hi-lift looks like it's never been used, ever. the 35s are bald *** ATs... bumpers are made of some ridiculously thin metal, and I peeked inside... no CB? Rear windows covered with Kicker stickers, skateboarding stickers, etc.

And it was parked in the wrong parking lot. With a ticket under the windshield wiper.

I cried a bit...

 

Prime it good first! I did that on my 89, started peeling in no time

 

In the past iv sanded the chrome them primed then painted, and sanding little strips of chrome is no fun. think its gonna stay chrome, this is a budget wheeler and iv spent to much time on cosmetics, I'm ready to take it out and drive it.

 

Whew, he's proud of that trailer...

He said that since I'm trading him my 4-wheeler for his camper then he'd like to keep the trailer to haul the 4-wheeler with but if you had another trailer you could use for a partial trade then he may take that.

He said for straight cash he'd have to start asking $750 obo. Personally, that's a tad high but if it's as straight as he says it is it's probably priced pretty close to average.
