OK... it like giving up a kidney, but its time.
MJ bed with custom tongue (1/8 wall 3x4), lockable tongue box, mounts for a 5 gallon igloo water cooler and a 20lb propane tank (neither included, just mounts). Body on the MJ bed isn't perfect by any means, but you won't cry if you drag it across something... :eyes: Has the old bumper from Planefixer's rig, still electric blue (cut and fold, but I skipped the fold on the MJ bed) -- appropriate it goes for sale as Jeff puts his old girl out to pasture.
I have some TJ flares to cover the wheel wells, but they aren't on just yet... might be by next week and then I'll have to raise the price or something.
All bed rails have angle-iron welded on to patch some minor rust and provide a sturdy base for the 'Nest.
Redneck beam trailer axle with electric brakes, spring over on stock MJ leaves with a 2" add-a-leaf. 6 on 5.5 lug pattern with Toyota FZJ-80 wheels, 285/70r16 Destination MT tires, plenty of tread for a trailer. Full-size spare, bald as hell, on an aluminum Mitsubishi rim.
Screw-leveling jacks in front, crappy harbor-freight adjustable jacks in back -- when I camp, I set the back first, and then jack up the fronts until its level, I can show those who are interested.
Wildernest fold-out tent camper -- classic, formerly manufactured in Broomfield, long out of business (I think mine's an '89). The 'Nest has seen some love and alot of use, but it held up in 75 mph winds in utah, its been a gem. Some patches/holes/repairs, but everything works, some TLC would bring it back to glory. Seams were sealed year before last, and some waterproofing spray last season, probably due for another round. Has an angle-iron repair on the hinge side, likely stronger than stock. Also includes, and this is a rarity with these tents, a gear loft, and a "kitchen" accessory -- a mesh panel with a billion (slightly less) pouches for stuff/organizing. I even have an owners manual.
We've been camping in this with our two boys for the better part of 8 years (I think). Probably 100+ nights in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, and a ton of fun. With an air mattress in the bed, the kids have been comfy while mom & dad slept peacefully up in the loft. includes the stock foam mattress plus 4" of memory foam that makes a world of difference.
Licensed and registered as a "built from parts on hand" trailer in CO (plates currently expired). will come with a pintle hitch (I'm keeping my Lock 'n Roll), unless someone motivates me otherwise. Currently has a goofy 7-pin electrical hitch, but I can swap it if need be, or you can. At full price, it will include a 20-ish gallon water tank (new) that I had planned to install where the stock gas tank went, some POR-15 to hit the underside (more than a little surface rust down there), and a can of herculiner for the bed. I'll also include a goofy 1-person "cot" that came with it when I bought it, pictured last, if you like (I think I can find all the pieces...)
$3,000, fairly firm
price. I might be crazy, but if one of you fellas doesn't want it, I'll find out how crazy with the craigslist crazies... I would consider trade only for a working skidsteer, if you happen to have one PM if interested. You KNOW you want it... :scottm:
(never mind the old redneck jacks, they've been replaced)
