I still have to get it road legal but the tires have some cracks in the sidewall so until I figure that out, it's just used around the house. I'd also like to pull it apart and blast it followed up by some paint and bed line the interior if the tub. Who knows when I'll get to that!?!

Oh, if so it's ford and jeep cj should be easy enough to find a pair to slap on there for inspection. I have a single herewith a 235 (I think) you can have if needed..
I may end up trying to score some narrow and shorter tires for this thing. I love the pattern on the military tires however I have a few considerations. The trailer is a tad tall for my vehicles and from what I read, those tires aren't nearly as nice as modern tires to pull. If I decided to change the tires, it would give me an opportunity to clean and powder coat the rims.
I had the original which was covered in paint and then I cut in two. I may grab one but honestly, it's well beyond original at this point so I don't feel obligated. Thanks!
Used the trailer all weekend to build another large raised bed and other tasks around the house. I'm really glad I ended up making the tailgate.
