Is this worth 500?

[93yotasr5]

Have the opportunity to get this trailer for 500$ on Friday.
Is it worth it? It's a 1952 m100
Has new wranglers with 500miles on them. Led and marine grade wire.

 

[onidragon]

Yes and yes! Hell if i had the $$ I'd be in Sac in a heart beat to snatch it.

 

[jmarshall098]

Missing some original stuff, but looks in good shape

 

[kilo]

JUMP all over it!! Looks great!

 

[Brentbba]

Hell, the new tires and jerry cans are almost worth that all by themselves! Yes!

 

[ethernectar]

Looks like a great start, scoop it up!

 

[93yotasr5]

Ok I called him. I'm getting it to
Oreos after work. I'm gonna sell the Kerry cans anyways and use my NATO cans instead. That will offset the price a bit too. I'll eventually put the 80 series rims with some matching tires

Yes sir. I'll post more pics when its in my possession .
How hard is it to convert the ball hitch to a pintle loop? I already have a pintle hook on my rig at the moment

500 is a steal. Ive been looking for one under a grand for a while.

Finding the pintle parts at a reasonable price is the tough part. I've been looking because I would like to use the rotating lunette originally used on trailers like these on my TrailBlazer trailer.

Your ball to pintle conversion is no issue. They make a pintle lunette combo avail from any trailer or rv supply store. Great buy on the trailer.

 

[Brian in Oregon]

$500... I'd be on that like a pit bull on a bone.

Dr.Dell HAS spoken!!

My understanding is that he wants to remove the ball coupler from the tongue and replace it with the original lunette.

I have one of the combo pintle couplers with a ball. I'm not convinced that I want to use it. My sample lunette ring does not fit it and move on it like I think that it should. For pavement it would be fine, it's the high angularity encountered off road where I don't think it will work as well as a dedicated pintle hitch. I have considered making a special ball coupler that uses this particular hitch that would have a high angular motion range.

Go to a good aftermarket lunette and a 2 inch square tube receiver on the trailer. Multiple ways to connect it work better than shackleing oneself to a single connection, The lunette is great off road albeit noisy, the standard hitch is good on road and if necessary a lock and roll is also available.

No sir. I plan on cleaning it up and using it for hauling and camping. I want to reprint it od green and do a spray on Bedliner inside. In the far future I'd love to put a roof top tent on it with some other gadgets, but I don't want to change the design or structure of it.

The original lunette assembly has the ability to rotate the ring relative to the trailer frame. I find that highly desirable.
I'm not impressed with the Lock-n-roll though supposedly there is an updated version from the one that I had. No idea if or how it might be better.
The Max Coupler, version 2, has a small issue that they're working one right now, so unless you find a ver. 1 those aren't on the market.
