Wow, how did I miss this thread?
These three are what it looked like right before it came home.
The big drum in the back was full of a nasty mixture of Diesel, oil and water. Found a friend who wanted the tank for their trailer. I shrugged and took it over to him. We were both happy.
The next three are of the beginning of my cleanup. I took the lunette off because at the time my Willys had a ball on the back and the pintle hooks were prohibitively expensive. I was planning at this point in time having the trailer sandblasted and painted, which is why the fenders and light were removed. But I ran out of money.
So as such, I started putting it back together again. First off was the lights. Took them apart, changed out the bulbs for 12V (military lights are 24V), hit them with the wire wheel and a couple shots of gloss black.
The Harbor Freight ones on the back wall of the trailer have since been relegated to the spare parts bin. I picked up a tongue jack and ball hitch for the front.
Also got 3 wheels and tires for it.
That's where it basically sits right now. I've already used it to pay for itself. 3 runs of metal recycling later and I made my money back on it. We've also used it around the apartment complex I live/work at as a trash/tool hauler. It's nice to be able to use it like a 3 wheeled wheelbarrow too.
