New M416 trailer.

[DrMoab]

Even though I am probably buying another one that is complete, I couldn't pass up this guy. I haven't decided what to do with it, I might just sell it but I thought I would share anyway.

It's got a dent and a ding here and there and a little surface rust but nothing perforated so thats good.

Floor is a bit wavy from having stuff dropped in it Im sure. Again, no rust other than surface.

This is the only major problem I can find. The guy put a spare tire holder on the back and it has caused the rear panel to flex and pull away from the floor.

The brakes even work.

Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with it.

Nice find Ryan. :thumbup:

I've always wondered why the military never had those made with a functional tail gate..... I suppose boxed up supplies and ammo and what not were the main cargo, probably never dirt, rock or other cargo that would need to be shoveled/dumped out........ :dunno:

They were designed to float with 500lbs of gear in them. A tailgate would make them fill with water quicky

The guy I bought it from dragged it home from Montana. Not much different than washington.

small price to pay for awesomeness

Well I've got to sell it because I'm buying this...

As long as the bank says OK. If Nanette's Jeep had sold by now I could have paid cash but I'll just pay the loan off when it's gone.

The trailer looks solid, you shouldnt have trouble flipping it.

 

[WebDog]

I might also be interested in it...

And it's MINE!!! I just got the money. Now I gotta figure out how to get it here from Dallas Tx.

 

[DrMoab]

Here are some new NEW pics of the NEW trailer.

And yes, looks like the little green one will be going up for sale. Sequoia seems to think it could be worth some money. Something about it being a little rare so I'm not sure what I will be asking for it just yet.

 

[DrMoab]

This is a brace to put under the back so the front doesn't lift up with weight on it.

 

[OverlandZJ]

Very nice.. congrats on the purchase bud.

 

[DrMoab]

Thanks man. Now I just gotta get it here from Dallas.

On a side note, you have to love and the great bunch of guys here. It already sounds like I found a guy to pick it up for me and another who is coming to Utah next week that can bring it to me. Just another reason to support this club!

The models that they made for civillian use came with tailgates They were blue navy ones.
