After purchasing a JL last November, I developed a bug for a Jeep trailer. After a few months of scouting Craigslist, I was able to get an M416 at a fair price and in a semi-decent shape; it tows well but the prior cut tailgate and the tub really rusted out.
The usual plan; tear it down, paint,. construct a lid and perhaps a rooftop tent!
Here's the day I brought her home:
Phase 1 was to separate the tub from the frame for cleaning and painting. This proved to be a pain since the previous owner had cut out the tailgate and to reinforce the tail ends, welded the tub to the frame.
Shout out to @Flyfishjeep and @Digglesby for their help!! I really appreciate it!
It's a little difficult working on it without a garage, and also with the temperature getting cold here, I am putting a hold on the project until next year!
