    James Baroud Evasion vs. Autohome Air Top

    I have a medium AirTop which I bought used last summer and is mounted on my 2009 Subaru Forester. I have had zero issues with it and its latching mechanism and the tent goes up and down easily. With the gas struts you do have to make sure you tuck the fabric in correctly when you close as to...

    Subaru owners: Let's see your expedition rigs!

    When I went to pick up my girlfriend and her son for the trip, she thought we could fit everything in the back of the Subaru. After surveying the amount of stuff, I went home and jerry rigged a setup for the pintle hook. Between the Subaru and the trailer, we hauled three people, a yellow...

    Subaru owners: Let's see your expedition rigs!

    Been using my 2009 Forester more since I have been doing some updating on my '74 Bronco (EFI and other things). My girlfriend loves the medium Airtop, and we even towed my M416 from Oregon to the Olympics for a family reunion (that was a sight since the trailer is on 35s). I am looking for...

    Quieting my pintle hitch????

    I have towed my M416 for 18 years over all kinds of terrain and it has been relatively quiet. Make sure there is enough weight in the front of the trailer putting weight on the tongue (lunette eye), this will stop the bounce that can happen if the trailer is loaded too heavy in the back...

    Pictures of m416 on 35's

    I have a M416 on 35s that I tow behind my early Bronco. The one spare that works for both is great. For some reason I am not able to post a pic.

    Safety chain attachment on the Jeep

    The rear bumper on my early bronco is an older Hanson bumper which used to be the maker of the early Currie bumpers. I have towed my M416 behind the bronco and several other vehicles using the following setup for safety chains. The Pintle Hook uses four bolts to attach to the receiver. Two of...

    Leave behind trailer?

    I have done both and it has always depended on the adventure that we are doing. The trailers make a great base camp as well as letting make home wherever you end up for the day.

    Spring over difficulty level?

    Easy to flip the axle for a spring over. Will need shorter shocks (no problems will be encountered) and I suggest new U bolts. No welding is required and even the hand brake will still work. Did this 16 years ago.

    M416 shocks with a SOA.

    I bought cheap shocks from NAPA when I did my spring over 16 years ago using the stock mounts. Measure the distance and go get them. The trailer suspension will have more compression with very little extension. The trailer suspensions do not cycle through the suspension like a jeep does...

    KM2 Review

    I put over 8,000 miles on a set of 35 x 12.50 x 15's mounted on 8" rims last summer going across country in my early Bronco. The tires were awesome on road and off road. I have had no issues with the tires and they are my favorite BFG MT's to date. The wear so far is good even with the...

    M416 style repo tubs

    The Sierra tubs have the same bottom measurements as the M416 (41" X 72"). I am not sure but I thought the WW2 trailers were about 2" narrower than the M416. The M416 I have looks great from a distance because of all the bondo in it, but I now want a tailgate and a lid so I can mount a RTT...

    Hello, M416 owner here

    Thanks so much for the help! I can work on my bronco and trailer, but I need to work on my skills when it comes to the computer.

    Hello, M416 owner here

    I feel so computer inept right now. I still am not able to download pictures to this thread, but if one wants to see my M416 there are pictures under Photo Album in my profile. I have had this M416 for eighteen years. Currently, it has a spring over running the same wheels and tires (35's) as...
