Almost Frankensteinish:
(this is a followup to my "Trailer questions (trailer is an '86?
4x4 Ranger bed and frame)" post ; Message-ID:
<c33ob309oi@enews4.newsguy.com> )
5 years ago I bought a "converted truck frame/bed" utility trailer
at a garage sale for (??) for $150. It was probably built off a
wrecked '84 Ranger 4x4; has those butt-ugly white "4 spoke"
wheels; and the bed was elevated 4" off the frame (STX or
aftermarket lift?? )
The tow vehicle ? ''88 Bronco II .
It's a legal trailer; whoever built it got the WA state inspection
tag and the paperwork right.
It looked like crap; the bed was beat to sh*t ; but it towed true
and hauled many loads of garbage/furniture/old safes (!) /etc.
The bed started rustrotting away last year; (real bad) . The
bumper was 'chickenshit' welded high to make up for the 4" lift and
broke off while loading the safes. (nothing illegal; surplus safes
my friend bought for storing master tapes)
Today; I replaced the bed; pulled out the 4" spacer blocks; and
(properly) installed the bumper off the 'donor' $50 '89 Ranger.
I created a monster.. (maybe only in my own mind ?) ; it now
shows severe promise of being far more than just a "garbage hauler"
.
The rims and tires are a bingo-- it will get a pair of Mopar 15x8
copcar rims; and either Denman 8 ply trailer radials or LT245/70
Dunlop Touring LTs to match whats on the BII
