yes, the material is very easy to come by ... i have noticed with bed frames, there are many different quality ones out there ... in the case Im dealing with, i have rail pieces that are somewhat flimsy but i feel perfect for a gerry can mount or similar concept, but i also have a complete frame...

does anyone have experience using the steel rails from bed frames as racks, braces, jerry can holders, etc in their trailer build? reason I ask is i have access to a bunch of scrap like that, mainly bed frames and some other much heavier angle bar and straight bar .... is the bed rail steel...

I plan on keeping my MBT as stock as possible as these parts are hard to get and worth a lot. I don't mind the noise and I think it looks cool!

Thanks !!! I'm am very happy so far. Here's a recent picture of the lunette.

Body shop says it's totally fixable with little work. The man I spoke with said it'd take about three hours and run about 250$. He said he'd charge less if I helped with the prep work and clean up. I said lets do it after New Years because I need to raise the money. Off to scrap!!

I have it towable now! It tows great. Other than the ride height which I can't do anything about really it look good. Now after it gets to body shop to see if they can straighten her out!

I'm in the market now for a pintle hitch receiver for my class three hitch on my Cherokee. As I'm looking at them they come in different sizes depending on what size the lunette is. I have an original mbt lunette and was curious what size pintle you guys run with your m100s or 416s? They are...

Now I'm almost ready to tow it to body shop. Got tires now and about to finish up the drawbar and lunette. I'm happy at the rate and outcome so far.

Got a good set today for a good deal. I am up and rolling.

i have no problem using used tires ... i can not afford 200$ plus right now for tires, so used is my next choice .... i woudln't use used tires on my daily driver rig, but this trailer will be fine !

worked on the lunette today .... looking better than before!

an MBT and Bantam are both WW2 era 1/4 ton trailers ... Bantam (made by Bantam Corp) and MBT (made by Willys) are virtually the same trailer with minor differences (example shock mounts: bantam thread on via nut; mbt via cotter pin) i was looking at 235/75/15 as a tire size and I'm tryng to...

I'm looking for tires for my MBT. I have aftermarket CJ rims 15x7 that they will be mounted on. The vehicle I'll be pulling the trailer with is a 2000 jeep cherokee sitting on a 3 inch lift with 31x10.5x15 tires. My question is this. What size tires would you guys advise to put on trailer to...

i made some progress over the last week ... i'm happy at the pace i'm headed and the amount I've spent. most of the bottom is sanded and painted. Axle, leaf springs and mounts painted and installed. I now am needing tires so I can get the thing rolling! I have had a lot of jeep guys and...

close to free .... i've seen guys with worse off trailers and jeeps come out looking fine ... i dont need it to be 100 per cent dent free or straight. the frame is solid and straight, ... besides, if it ends up going to be too costly I can part it out to the ww2 collectors and triple my money as...
