When I saw that picture, RED NECK was not the first term to come to mind.

I got a chance to check out the trailer today plus i actually got it home. The tires actually hold air, bearings appear to be good but i am still going to repack them, the body and frame are pretty decent w minimal rust. Its nice that the recvr mounted pintle hitch came with it. It tows awesome at 60 plus
behind the zj. Here are some more pics.
behind the zj. Here are some more pics.Ive had some time to work on the trailer this past week. I got the exterior all sanded and painted. The frame has no rust at all. Im happy about that. I also found a set of Ford steel wheels and 4 31in Mudstar mts. While driving home the other day i found a roofrack in decent shape. It was free to a good home in someones recycling pile. Needs a coat of paint. Will be going on the trailer lid once its built. I also mocked up where the battery box and power inverter are going. Let me know what u guys think. Here r some pics.
Im also thinking about attaching my chuckbox/camp kitchen along w the 12 volt pump and tank from my other trailer.

Got the water tank, pump and battery all installed. I also threw together a shower that mounts curb side. Its all operational and works quite well. Heres some pics.
I also got the fenders painted green along w bedlining the tub floor. I think its coming along well. Next is to box in around the tank and whatnot. Stay tuned.

Sorry for the late reply... My M416 is within inches of my Series Lamd Rover top. I am of course referring to the Pre Defender Land Rover, like Marlin Perkins and Jim drove. The hard top like the LR is aluminum and adds almost no weight. Also do us Series LR owners a favor and do not start chopping up LR instead look for tops alone.
I'll post a pic this weekend. Need to pull the trailer out.
Sorry i havent posted anything new on the trailer. I used it alot this past fall for hunting. Havent done anything big for mods. Now its almost spring here up north is time to get back to work on it. Here are a couple pics of it upcountry. 
The trailer tows awesome off road and is ideal for the backcountry here in Maine.

Great photos and the trailer still looks good!!
Always like to see the family in the pics. You will wake up tomorrow and they will be grown and moved out.

Its been a while since i posted anything new. I finally took time to close in the water tank, pump and battery box in the front of the trailer. I put 2 seperate access doors on the top. Came out ok. Will fine tune it later. I also acquired a set of rock crawler rims and some 265/75/16 Grabber At2s. Should have em mounted up this weekend. I need to sand down and paint the wheels first. I hope to get some pics posted up in the next few days.
Thanks for the offer. I downloaded the -10 and parts manual for it the day i brought it home. And yes the 75 i paid for it was well worth the use. No compaints here.
