My Strange Trailer

I needed a trailer to take crap to an event I'm doing in a few weeks. I have been looking for a nice trailer for a while but when I came across this one for $500 I couldn't pass it up. I am hoping I can use it for camping too (w RTT) but I donno, what do you guys think? Worth putting some time and money into it or just find a military trailer?

Looks pretty cool on the outside - lots of potential for external access, flip down shelves, etc. For off-road may need to consider ground clearance and axle/suspension strength. What's the inside look like?

Thanks for the feedback so far. Here is more info
It looks like the inside was attempted to be insulated as the entire inside is covered with some kind of wood. Door is insulated as well.
-The exterior box is made out of metal.
-The whole thing weights about 850 lbs
-Tires are 235/75/15.

The interior has a funky smell to it. I am thinking or ripping all the insulation out as this thing was built in the 80s by someone who liked to go hunting. I am wondering if the smell is coming from the old wood or old dead animals.

Can anyone tell me anything about the axle? Also how do I find out the wheels bolt pattern? Would love to get some modern wheels and maybe takeoff Rubicon tires on there

OK wheels are 6x5.5 bolt pattern.
Definitely won't be able to match my Rugged Ridge wheels but I can get something more modern

Bummer. Thought jeeps were 5 x 4.5. That just Cherokees? I run a set of Cherokee wheels on one of my trailers.

I like it! spring over, matching wheels and tires, paint and a de stink on the inside.
A couple of rv windows and it will make a great camper/ gear hauler. Nice score.

the TJs are 5x4.5 bolt pattern - moved to 5 on 5 with the JK. You call one of the adapter mfg.'s (or google it) to see about an adapter from the current to 5x5.
