“Custom 1988 Jeep CJ-6 Trailer
Excellent AT radial tires
Recently rewired by professional
Pulls Straight, No vibrations

I bought this trailer 10 years ago and have used it all over Colorado especially in the San Juan’s.
It’s been over Yankee boy basin, Imogene Pass and many others without issue.
Hitch provides for Extreme Articulation, you can’t bind this one.
Perfect candidate for a pop up camper conversion.

It does not have the tailgate.

“Very cool Bantam T3C Jeep trailer. Used once or twice a year until 2007, then kept in garage. Serious inquiries only, please.”

Glenn spotted this trailer for sale.

“I am selling my restored 1945 converto dump trailer.

It comes with a document pouch but I have not installed it.

Has always been stored indoors since being restored and it tows great.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.

Must need some work as it can’t be towed.

“1949 Jeep Trailer with tilt. Size 4 ft x 6 ft bed. Needs tires badly (cannot be towed currently).”

Cort wondered if anyone knows the manufacturer of this trailer. It appears to be a cross between a Ben Hur (the sides are Ben Hur-esque) and a Sterling Machine & Mfg trailer (note how the interior of the top rim slopes into the trailer).

From 1941-1945, the Ben Hur (G-518) trailer was built by numerous companies (according to this page), including American Bantam, Ben Hur, Century Boat Works, Checker, Dorsey, Gertenslager, Henney, Hercules Body, Highland Body & Trailer, Hobbs, Hyde, Mifflinburg Body, Naburs, Nash Kelvinator, Omaha Standard Body, Pke, Queen City, Redman, Steel Products, Strick, Transportation Equipment Corp, Truck Engineering Corporation, Willys Overland, Winter Weiss, Baker, Covered Wagon Co., Keystone, And Streich. When the war ended, some of the companies must have had extra trailer parts. My theory is that this could be an early prototype of the Sterling Machine trailer, but build from left over Ben Hur parts. After fiddling with designs and/or using up the leftover Ben Hur parts, maybe Sterling decided to make the trailer smaller (see the green example below).
