Picked this up tonight.
Should serve our needs well.
PO did a spring/over conversion to give slightly higher ride height.
Need to work on the wiring a little, probably paint the plywood and add a tongue jack.
Should be good to go other than that.
Came with a new spare tire/wheel also.
Nice Keith now you can take everything.
Get new tires and rims on the trailer.
33" MTZ's would work well.
Not sure of what the bottom looks like, but it looks like it would hold water well! Did the PO have a top for it?
I'd put a top on it. That way everything will stay dry.
They way the wood bracing inside is recessed from the top of the plywood, it looks like he was planning on a top.

He kept in his garage, but also did something like this:

Doubt I will go to that much trouble.
Tarp should work fine for the couple times a year we will use it.
thats pretty nice. i have been looking at something like that but about 8 ft long so i can put my kayaks in it. i was thinking about doing a soa after i got it, nice to see that on another trailer.

And the PO did it right and welded new perches on to keep the camber the right way.
looks good keith. should work well for what its intended for. beats the hell out of the racks.
Now we don't have to worry when only taking one Jeep if I'm not feeling up to driving. 
Very nice! Looks just like mine (and perhaps yours, too, came from Tractor Supply). Mine tilts, and yours might also.

It's a Carry On, I think TSC sells them.
And yes it tilts.
Rattle canned all but the tongue.
And before anyone asks, yes I am going to flip the ball mount. LOL
Making me rethink building one.

We will still use the rack for the beach, but there's just WAY too much stuff to make camping comfortable and fun to fit in one or even 2 Jeeps.

The military trailers are cool and all but we just needed a way to haul more stuff.
And in reality this trailer could make it back to Kephart with no problem.
We have no plans of doing Moab, so 33"+ tires and all that would just be a waste.
I already built a 5x10' utility trailer so wasn't really looking for another project.
This was pretty much turn key and weighs about 225 lbs empty so it's perfect for towing with the Jeep.
Looks great.
nice purchase.
Re did the wiring.
A gallon of paint and a can of Rustoleum and it looks a lot better.
Still a couple things to do.
