Work In Progress / Re: 1947 Bantam T3-C Trailer Project

« on: January 17, 2012, 01:37:01 pm »

Your trailer looks GREAT Mike! Your pictures are going to be my motivation to get my trailer back in that good of shape!

Here's my trailer:


Picked it up a few years ago, haven't really done anything with it yet. Just need to force myself to start. A buddy of mine works at a metal fab shop, and has access to a blaster, so maybe once spring rolls around, I'll make that my project for a couple weekends. It's also a 1947, I think. When I bought it, the previous owner had it titled as a 1949, but after researching the VIN, I'm fairly positive it's actually a 1947.

Are you listed on this owners database? http://bantamt3c.com/bantamdatabase.htm It's a pretty nice collection of trailers and information about them.
 
I think I talked with you at All Breeds this past year. Here's a few pictures I happened to shoot:

Introductions / Hi from Delaware!

Hey everyone! Just saying Hi. My name's Rob and I'm from Middletown, Delaware. Always enjoy the All Breeds Jeep show in the summer time, thought I'd say hi on the boards.

Here's my current work in progress.

Here's what it looked like when I picked it up...



...and here's what is looks like now...


Picked it up on a trade for my old WARN XD9000i when I was parting out leftovers from my previous TJ. YUP! Traded my old winch for it straight up! Started out 2WD, swapped in a 4WD AW4, NP231, and HP Dana 30 from a 96 XJ last winter. Herculined the interior, repaired some damage to the rear hatch from a previous small fender bender, and painted it this fall. Going to be doing a 3.5" - 4.5" lift soon and most likely 33"x12.5" BFG's. We'll see where it goes from there!'

Here's my old TJ, just for the sake of it...
