Default Comanche trailer on 33s

This starred as a 1986 camanchee with a blown engine. We got it from a local old guy who just wanted to get it off his property. We immediately thought about making a trailer to match the Cherokee. We put the camanchee on the lift and hacked it in half. We needed metal so we put it on the side of the shop until we could afford it. 5 years later here I am, I can afford it! I put 4x6x3/8 steal into the cut off frame rail, shimmed it with some 1/8 inch plate and off I went! Now I just got done putting in the middle section.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, I noticed it wasn't a Dana 35 or 44. I found the 9 in it!!! The truck was completely stock when we got it... But it had a 9 inch...
