F/S JEEP 1/4 TON TRAILER- East Central Indiana
Permalink  
Need a winter project? Great for hauling the kitchen sink to your next camping trip for firewood up out of the woods. Civilian style trailer- similar to 1/4 ton army trailer. Perfect to tow behind jeep. Great shape- white in color. Ball hitch, drop down tailgate. Stabilizer legs on rear. Just needs wiring and good taillights. Asking $500.00. Email me for additional pictures if interested.

so... this is an actual Jeep trailer? civilian version of the mil-spec one, or just a normal trailer with a 1/4 ton axle and similar dimensions to the military ones?

I have no money, but it appears to be in good mechanical shape, and if it is a real Jeep trailer (never heard of them outside military) it's an interesting find as well. Looks to be 'just the right size' for most stuff I'd haul around (lawn mowers and camping stuff).

By no means it's a military trailer. It's just a nice little trailer for someone to have if they want to tow it behind there Jeep, Toyota or whatever. I was planing on keeping it, put matching paint and tire/wheel combo to match my CJ. Came across another "style" trailer that I plan to keep. Per the internet, it's an American Bantam Model BT3-C that was offered for sale to the public in the late 1940's through such outlets as Sears and Roebuck. (that tag is on the trailer). I now have two, just want to sell one.
Unfortunately, a previous owner prided off the manufacturer's tag on the front right hand side of the white trailer. That would have given me or anyone else a clue what exactly what the trailer is. Why???
Yes, it is a good solid trailer. I have several more pictures if anyone would like to check them out or need measurements if they would like to build one. I'll try to post them up this weekend.

I might entertain a pair of adjustable coil over spacers (ACOS) as partial trade.

ok... Jeep never made a civilian version of the popular (and sometimes expensive) military trailers. Got it.

I need my own place before I start on any other 'projects' but it's an interesting find regardless.
