    Very nice!
    You don't need to be the strongest
    or the most intelligent to survive
    but by having the right tools and
    the adaptability of change
    is where you will prevail.

    Thanks, it's a ton o' fun.

    The trailer is the back half of a 99-ish (I think) Wrangler. The gas tank has been removed and the Dana 35 axle is complete minus brakes & ring gear.


    It's a recent acquisition and I have a laundry list of additions I want to make.

    I HATE when that happens!

    Sweet ride! Love to see someone that uses a 4x4 for more than mall hopping!

    Nice job on the trailer too. Did you consider leaving the tank in there with a small transfer pump? you could have greatly extended your milage capabilities.

    I didn't build it but replacing the tank & factory filler hose etc. is on my list. First up is a spare tire & OEM spare mount for the tailgate. Then a tongue box & maybe a pintle hitch.
