Here's my M416 and Jeep Rubicon. (I also agree that the sticky should go back where it was. Had to do a search to find this thread)

Great suggestion with the rope. I may have to try that on my kayak rack. I did the pipe insulation and it lasted one loading session.

I've got an axle and 3 rims/tires, but SW Missouri is probably too far away. Yes, those axles are 5x5.5.

That is probably what I will do eventually. Glad to hear it worked. BTW, nice blog... Keep safe over there!

Thanks Mark. That's what I figured. That lunette is going to bang around alot anyway, so what's a little more noise... I've seen people cut off the lunette and weld those extenders on, so figured it would work, just with more give. I'll try it once the build is complete and see how it works.

Debating if this would work or not. I've got the M416 with the lunette and I need a little more tongue length for hauling kayaks. Wondering if anyone else has tried using the Harbor Freight hitch extender between the vehicle and the pintle. I have one already as it is required for my bike...

Recently bought a M416 trailer and plan to buy a new Dexter axle with the EZ Lube option for it and put on JK Rubicon stock wheels. From the research I've done here on the forums it sounds like there is not a way to fit the Jeep wheels over a Dexter hub without an adapter that has a hub center...

I'm planning my re-build of an M416 I found and currently looking at axle options too. So far have talked with Redneck Trailer and KMTparts.com. Might check with both of those suppliers about a custom axle. Best if you find a supplier with a warehouse near you as shipping was very high, but...
