I have had an old trailer sitting behind my house for a while now, it was converted from an old camper & I paid $50 for it. After needing it to transport several things, I decided to dig 'er out & get 'er going.
Had to start with new wheels & tires which I picked up at the local Northern Tool store, then pulled it to my dad's shop for easy access to the underside to check the frame thoroughly for rust & wire up some lights which were free because dad had them laying around the shop.
The frame & axle are solid, just a lot of surface rust.
I only have the B2 to tow it & wasn't happy with how low it was riding in the back....
After looking at the suspension, I decided an S.O.A. was in order!!!! I should have my new u bolts today & I still plan on doing other things to it as money allows, just not sure what. Here are some random boring photo's as it sits right now, more to come as I finish the S.O.A.....
