UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.

“Barn find – Vehicle comes with several areas of rust and has not run in several years by all appearances. The bones are there, but it does require a lot of work to get to daily driving again.

This is a project vehicle. It is currently in non running condition and in my opinion will require an upgraded drive train (possibly inline 6 from a newer Jeep) as the current setup does not seem to be in running condition. No transfer box present. Would make an excellent finished project, but will require work.

Vehicle comes with bill of sale, but not title present. Bonded title would be the best option.”

“Very high quality HANDMADE toy army jeep. All steel construction. This thing is rough and rugged. Has toggle switch to turn on the headlights, battery compartment under hood. Steering wheel actually turns the wheels. Windshield folds down. Has detachable plow and trailer. This thing is nice and one of a kind. I took it to a couple antique shops and they all told me they believe it has a higher price tag than what I’m asking. There just isn’t another like it to base true value off of. Asking $275 ”

https://westernmass.craigslist.org/cto/d/hampden-willys-cj-2a/6829782001.html

“This is a true antique but will perform off-road better than today’s jeeps. This has been trailered cross country and been off roading in locations in many of the best trails around.

The cj2a is a 1946 but runs on unleaded gas and can pass inspection. Has year of origin plate, ruddy security council, marine radio and speakers, warn over drive, 4 cylinder motor, spare tire, winch, locking differential.

Please don’t offer me half of asking price or ask me questions if you are not sure what you are looking at/ getting into with this vehicle.”

Paul Finished His Stainless M-100 Trailer

February 28, 2019 • CATEGORIES: Builds, Features • TAGS: . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

As always, Paul’s detailed work has resulted in a work-of-art. Well done Paul!

Paul writes, “The earth has calmed down these last few months so I’ve made good progress on the M100 trailer rebuild. In fact, other than measuring the length necessary for the trailer safety chains and the electrical harness everything else is finished. While I still spent over 300 hours to build the stainless steel box and rebuild everything I planned on reusing it was easier than I’d anticipated. I had no idea I’d need so many 2X4’s but the local Home Depot store was happy to take my money.

This photo shows the jig I made to keep the trailer box in alignment while I fabricated the upper tube reinforcement and rolled the sheet metal before tack welding the edges.”

2019-02-27-m100-trailer6

The upper tube has been fitted and held in place with strips of plywood and 24 6 inch C clamps.

2019-02-27-m100-trailer7

I used a plastic hammer to gently form the sheet metal over the curve of the reinforcing tubing. The C clamps were repositioned often to allow hammer access to the 20 feet of 18 gauge stainless sheet metal around the upper edge of the trailer box.

2019-02-27-m100-trailer8

The tack welds are complete so the 2X4 jig can be removed

2019-02-27-m100-trailer9

The replacement box is bolted to the original trailer frame and tie down straps hold the frame to the work tables. I had to plan my work around earthquakes.
