“I’m selling my 1944 converto airborne dump trailer.
1944 Airborne Converto Trailer Battle Ground,WA
Trailer that Includes the original combat rims.
31 x 10.50 r15 BFG mud terrain tires on 10 wide wheels. Also comes with the original reinforced combat wheels with tires. All new tail lights and wiring. The original lynette eye mount is all complete and not modified. I made a new slug of solid 2 inch round bar to fit In the factory spot with a 2 Inch ball coupler. It can be easily removed and put an original one back on It. The floor is solid with very little surface rust. The only original part is missing besides the lynette eye is the handle for the rear gate dogs. I just made one out of some steel I had around.
This trailer would not take much to have It fully restored. I’m asking $3500.00 obo””

Worked on Patterson Saturday

2022-05-21-working-on-patterson

I pulled out Patterson yesterday to being making a few minor repairs. You might remember (though I’d rather forget) that the driver’s side rear got a little crunched when Patterson bumped up against the UHaul trailer last fall (Ugh).

On Saturday, I pulled off the surrounding equipment, then using clamps and counter-force (slow and steady), pulled everything back together. It came together surprisingly well. Next steps are to replace the rear lights, replace the generator, and reduce the friction between the brake and clutch pedal (push one down, the other drops a little).

Once the work is done, I will put it up for sale. Do we want to sell it? Not really, but we are working on getting another vintage jeep to replace Patterson, something far cooler. Once everything is settled, I will announce it.

1946 CJ-2A Sumner, ME **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $18,000

Glenn shared this militarize CJ-2A. This would fool most people into thinking it was a WW2 jeep.

“1946 Willy’s MB-2A. Basically what we have here is a 1946 CJ2A that was completely modified to a Willy’s MB. The motor, transmission and chassis is CJ, the body and all accessories are MB. This was a 2018 frame up restoration, frame is solid, body and accessories are new. Runs and drives, everything works with the exception of speedometer and fuel gauge, however I have those new and ready to be installed. For a complete list of everything I did and for more photos, please email me or call, there’s simply too much to list. While I can be a *little* flexible, I know how much these are worth, I know how much money I have into it and I know how many of these are floating around out there so keep that in mind when you are looking at my price, no trades please, all accessories included, machine gun as well (it is not a real machine gun) thanks.”
