I found mine on mud.

@euclid A guy in the NC clubhouse is thinking of selling his. He cut the rear panel out (ready for tailgate) and fabricated a ball hitch without monkeying up the lunette. Fair amount of surface rust, but looks OK, no price listed. For Sale/Wanted

@euclid FYI, if you pull that lunette, casting and landing leg assembly off you can sell for $400 easy. Help offset the cost.

@ntsaint What's casting and landing assembly?

 

[ntsaint]

Everything between the two frame rails in the below pic.

The casting is the piece that accepts the lunette and the landing leg. It simply unbolts from the frame.

I sold my lunette for $250 in about 5 minutes. The landing leg normally goes for $75. The casting another couple hundred, but won't move as fast.

That's all ASSUMING that it hasn't all been welded together, which some have. If it's clean and will unbolt, you are golden.

I think I like Grogan's design better, but this has potential.

That would fit under the foxwing great

 

[wngrog]

Yeah, that's cool. I have a bar that attaches to the Front Runner that goes out over the drivers door. One end there. One to the bar on the ladder swingout. Allows me to have two Eno under the foxwing with no trees needed.

Most places I go have at least one tree. If it does it takes the place of the driver door bar.

blue hole....damn.

 

[Papalud]

That's desert ready!

Best place to start looking for a trailer? How cheap can I get in to one?

I've got one still sitting at Grogan's that is a project. If I recall, that one is a M100 from 1953 (ish)...$275

 

[AndyO78FJ40]

How hard or expensive would it be to build something like this? Kind of an offroad teardrop.

Anybody ever try a different axle and springs under a small pop up to make it more offroad worthy? Maybe a horrible idea but could give you more space than a m416 and RTT.

 

[wngrog]

The pop up frames are all thin thin cheesy metal. Hard to do anything but take out axle and put on a stronger trailer frame.

@GOVT MULE still has his M100 which is a great starter frame $275

 

[wngrog]

Jerry does not play. He hauled his beautiful family up here today and we loaded that M100 up and he's headed home.

I can't wait to see how he transforms this thing.

He is a seriously talented turd polisher.

 

[GOVT MULE]

glad Jerry got it! He does NOT mess around!

What's the specs on your drawbar

 

[ntsaint]

3x3 square tube. 6' long, runs all the way back to the first frame crossmember and ties in there.

Thanks. And thanks to all CLC members supporting my addiction

Looking for a Cooper Cross Country 7.00-16 LW" tire and rim for my M416 trailer.
Anyone have a spare they don't need any longer and would consider parting with? -- Thanks
