I had this redone by a friend. The tub was cutout due to rust and then everything was rebuilt with new steel. New shocks were installed. Cost a bit but oh well. Time to get rid of it. M-416 Expedition Trailer (off roading, Jeep) $1500 OBO

MERCURY-VILLAGER-Shock-Absorber-MONROE I used Monroe shocks and they seem to do pretty well. Got em cheap off of eBay.

Keep me in the loop if you go on any expeditions and want company. I'm new to the area and always looking to make a trip.

This is not mine. I already have a modified M-416. http://lansing.craigslist.org/for/1343733555.html

Went to Mackinac Island at the beginning of this month. Took pictures at some of the same spots. Looks like you had a good time.

My custom M-416 bounces around in the back without weight (over some bumps on dirt roads). Nothing that a 4600-5000 lb FJ Cruiser can't handle (modded or else the curb weight would be 4290). When it isn't loaded correctly (box was shaved off in the front so everything heavy needs to be loaded...

Already came down. $298.... Don't expect these things to be that cheap. I'm surprised they weren't MORE expensive.

The only ones I've seen with torsion suspension are the HVAC/Generator trailers. I've been looking at a lot of trailers on post. Our company has a water buffalo and M105. We are getting an LMTV trailer that has a tounge weight of 800 lbs and weighs about 7.5k empty.

I'd find it hard to believe that anyone would fall in love with that.

x2... If I had to do it again and wanted to save money I'd probably go this route. AKA Oreilly I believe.

Mu hahahaha.

Let me guess. It cost 1000 dollars Buy it Now? I was looking at this. Good buy! I'm tearing my 350 dollar purchase apart. Redoing the tub (it won't have the curve at the top becuase there will be toolkits attached to the side).

I think ih8mud is having problems again. Does anyone know if 101 springs match up to 416? EDIT: I think they do because saturnsurplus.com showed the same picture for the M416 and 101 springs.

Has everyone that replaced the axle for example with a 3500 lb one from ABC Trailers used the stock leaf spring hardware? I see it more difficult to match up heights and what not. The leaf springs from ABC don't seem very long and don't provide much height.
