Time to sell the M416. I guess I'll have to change my username. ;-)

Trailer is in great shape, just add your roof top tent and hit the trails or head out on your next overlanding adventure!

Purchased as surplus in the 80's, resto and mods to accommodate needs in the late 90's, lots of great trips over the years but sadly has sat unused for too long.

1966 Stephens M416
NC Title
Rear 2" hitch
3K commercial axle with 5x4.5 bolt pattern to match my YJ with bearing buddies
Painted to same paint code as YJ (charcoal gray)
Custom tailgate with full width piano hinge and truck style tailgate cables
Interior Line-X
Spring over to match YJ ride height (approx 3")
15" wagon wheels w/Goodyear 33x12.5 tires (very worn)
Extended tongue with custom articulating hitch
Metal milk crate for 20lb propane tank
Fishing poles on fenders
Jerry can holder
Very straight, pulls like it's not there

Asking $3,200

Few pics. Have others if interested, to include hitch build.

Also have original axle with brakes and cable, original wheels and tires (very old and cracked), along with harbor freight tool box, new 7-pin cable, some marker lights available if interested. At asking price will include all for free. If interested separately PM for prices.

A note on the hitch. Inspired by commercial products but uses lunette assembly for one axis of rotation. That allows a new lunette to be used, or a regular coupler if desired (neither included). I designed, a skilled welder assembled, and I've used it for many years. As is custom however, there is no implied warranty or use for particular purpose. That should keep the DOT/DMV folks happy... ;-)

I am interested, but have a few questions to see if it will work for my situation.
1. Dimensions of bed? 4x6 ft?
2. Length of bed with tailgate down, including tailgate of course?
3. Is the tailgate strong enough to carry the back tire of a light motorcycle?
4. Height of bed?
5. Height of hitch?
6. Weight of trailer?

Thanks.

1. Dimensions of bed? 4x6 ft?
Yes, at the top. Bed is narrower at bottom, 41" wide roughly
2. Length of bed with tailgate down, including tailgate of course?
Tailgate adds 16"
3. Is the tailgate strong enough to carry the back tire of a light motorcycle?
Yes. I'm a big guy, nearly tipping 290 and I could sit on it along with my son back when we were hauling his motocross bike.
4. Height of bed?
28"
5. Height of hitch?
Roughly 28" The lunette casing has two mounting positions, that's the lower. The upper would add 3". If the spring over was reversed, that would lower 5"
6. Weight of trailer?
Empty its about 600 lbs.

Some dims from data plate (stock, no spring over)

Bump. This is a great trailer as is, or can use as foundation for a more complex build. Make an offer. I can always say no, and can't be insulted either! :cool:
