shipp_m Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I plan on building a trailer out of the back half of the mj I'm picking up next weekend from philly. I am active duty Marine and my skill set is far from metal fab and welding. I plan on building a trailer truck combo. However my truck is back home in Idaho. The trailer is here. So I figure ill do what I can with what I've got. But I need help because I'm clueless. I am a fast learner and will be more then happy to build this project trailer with anyone willing. Local fab shops are few and far between here for some reason. Any help is greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Are you close to Quantico? I will be up that way for a few months here soon. I can bring my welder for you to use. I can't weld that good but I'm sure you have a redneck in your unit that can lay a bead. If you are interested let me know. Semper Fi from a fellow MJ nut and Devil Dog!

shipp_m Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 No I'm about 3hrs south. On the border of north Carolina. I'll ask around next week I really appreciate the offer. What brings you to Quantico? Semper Fi brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelfish99 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 You bought the camper shell from me didn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 It can't really say why I'm going up there. I'll let you know in about 2.5 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdriver1 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 we've considered buying an existing trailer and adapting it to fit the long bed we have in storage --- boat trailers look promising as the axles can be moved easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipp_m Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Rebel fish. Yes I did buy the shell from you....shelbyluvv gotta love the secret squirrel. Hopefully the trailer will be in the works maybe you could swing by if I'm on the way....jpdriver1 I've thought about that too. But if I have all the metal from the frame and find someone willing to help out it'd be cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Check out Middle Peninsula Jeep Association (www.mpjai.com) It's a great Jeep club very local to you. Lots of skilled guys there into metal. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
