I saw this on Craigslist tonight. I'm in Virginia Beach so Norfolk is just a few miles away from me. I already have an M416, thought someone could jump on this. https://norfolk.craigslist.org/bar/6064387164.html

Ok, a quick question. You opened your post looking for a set of lift springs. Did you mean to say Leaf Springs? The original springs on these M416s are the same as 1950's vintage CJ3A/CJ3B FRONT leaf springs (36.25x1.75 inch leaf springs). You can probably source other springs at a Junk...

History can sometimes be a B**ch Congrats on your find. The problem with these old trailers is that we often have to drive some distance to see and buy one of these. Then the adventure begins with getting it home. I as fortunate when I got mine that it was three houses over. I went with a...

These little trailers are great builds. Mine is a 1967 Stephens Manufacture. I also built mine with the help of my two sons who were 12 and 17 at the time. I have taken mine from Virginia Beach to El Paso, TX then to New Mexico and back to Virginia. Then moved my son to college from Virginia...

What trailer are you talking about? Does it have civilian registration? What is the concern? three years ago my son had a hockey tournament in Buffalo, NY. I took my M416 trailer to haul his stinky gear bag and a few other kid's bags. While there we took a trip across the border to visit...

There is this thing called parenting. and you are doing it right.

That is the definition of a Keeper...

Have you considered the alternative? Leaving the axle as is. I have had my M416 trailer for 8 years and have beat the crap out of it over that time. It has gone camping way out in the sticks of New Mexico a couple of times, was hauled from Virginia Beach to El Paso, TX and back and from...

Not my trailer, I saw this on the way home today. The number is 757-635-6889

Jeez I do envy you guys. My wife will only go camping if there is a hotel near by for her to sleep in.

They will once they get a spouse, mortgage, bills, spouse, job, kids and a spouse. They will want to go camping just like they should have done when they were kids.

Hey I just recently did this to my M416. I purchased two 2" I.D. receiver tubes from Northern Tool and welded them into my frame. I have one on each side just in front of the fender and one in the rear. I then welded a couple of scrap pieces of 2" O.D. square tube I had to fit in any one of...

Nice build so far. I really liked that you employed kids from the high school so that they can learn. It will be great for them to see the final product and know that they contributed to it.

I can testify to the pintle being noisy. I used to tow trailers in Afghanistan with hummers and 5-tons. Despite the vehicle's diesel engines being kinda loud in the cabin, the knocking of the ring against the hook was even louder going up and down the mountainous rough roads over there. For...

If you went with the gas struts would you install some sort of lock out? I would imagine that it would be a major PITA to lower it by yourself. There is another thread on here where someone made his platform lift with actuators. Ill do some checking but he installed one in each corner.

Still hate Mud? These are YouTube videos of trailers in action https://youtu.be/8MjbwtA0joc https://youtu.be/12ssRm4ec_E https://youtu.be/eIJjAiJcN2Y

I have had my M416 trailer for about 8 years now. Since 2011 she has had a lot of miles put on her. I moved for a year to El Paso, TX due to my final Army posting at Fort Bliss. 1 year later it was back to Virginia Beach. Then she took 3 trips from Virginia Beach to Cincinnati and back for...

What do you plan to use for the lifting mechanism? I also have an M416 the lifting platform for the RTT has my attention.

I am loving the awning. I will be copying the design of the folding support legs, thats brilliant. Great job.

I used ro pull those trailers behind my Hummwv. Never knew they had such potential. Awesome job so far. Subscribed.
