new tow vehicle

Postby hugh » Fri Dec 14, 2012 7:18 pm

It,s been awhile since I posted up but I do often visit here to read up. I had built an off road tiny trailer to pull behind my Jeep XJ. It pulls great and is a great night,s sleep. For the last year I have been working on my next tow vehicle a 1947 Jeep CJ2A with a blistering 60 HP "go devil" flathead four. It has reached the stage where the body is finally back on the frame and the gauges, electrical ,etc are being installed. I need a real lightweight trailer for it and have started designing it just in my head so far. More updates to follow.

Sounds like a neat tow vehicle!
Got any pictures?
