Default Good deal or no?

I traded this trailer that I had for 10 years...



...for this one even up.



What do you guys think?
Did I do good or not?

Yeah yeah, smart arse. LOL

It only has one military tire, the other 2 are standard truck tires, 16".
The other tire is flat and laying in the trailer.
The military tire is the spare, it is made by General Tire company and I have been told that collectors will pay big money for that tire.
I am going to get 3 used tires from work to put on it and then try and sell that "Jeep" tire.

Good deal Spike!
Don't count on getting much for the tire, they can be bought new.

Next step is to get yourself a couple of Disco hubs and stub axles and convert it to use the same wheels as your Disco. You'll always have 3 spares for the Disco when using the trailer.

Yeah after looking on e-bay I have found them for anywhere from $50-200.
I think I am just going to keep it as the spare.

But I like your idea of having Rover rims and stub axles on it.
