Custom Expedition Trailer (M416 style) in Colorado *SOLD*

The good:
Great trailer but hasn't seen any use since we purchased a camper. It's built like a tank and not the lightest thing out there but it's solid for sure. Always garaged when not in use. Inside of the box is about 5' long x 3' wide x 2' high.

Built by a professional fabricator in Denver, it was originally intended for a Suzuki Samari but turned out to little too much so he sold it and built another one out of aluminum. I purchased it from the original owner. Trailer has a 3,500lb Dexter axle and brakes including a runaway setup (7 round connector) with correctly sized leaf springs... I was planning on upgrading to a Timbren Axle-Less, Dexter torsion, or custom airbag setup but that project got put on the back burner with the arrival of our Kamparoo and it tows fine with leaf springs.

Includes an extra set of brake pads, an extra gas strut for the lid, and a few other misc. things like a custom cut bed mat for the box area. Full articulation hitch with that mounts to a front receiver so it's easy to swap out for a different coupler. Trailer also has a rear receiver for bike rack/etc and LED lights for both the rear brakes and side markers. I was told the lid is removable with a few bolts and the help of a friend but I've never actually removed it so I can't say for sure. The paint color is a common Rustoleum one so touch up, if needed, is easy.

The reason for selling:
Due to limited garage space, I'm banned from buying any new toys with wheels until something gets sold. :)

The fine print:
$3,500 -> $3,100 -> $2,600 ***SOLD***
-Spare tire has a leak... I'll be taking it in this weekend to have it patched.
-Battery does not hold much of a charge. It's included with the sale so you can swap the core for a new one.
-Camping pad shown in pictures is not included... and neither is the dog. :sombrero:
-Clear Colorado title.
-Possible trades (+/- cash as needed): ARK pack setup, Jumping Jack X4, Quicksilver 6.0 offroad, mid-sized Yeti/Engle cooler, quality RTT, Oz or Turbo tent, or ???
-Located in the Greeley/Evans area (about an hour north of Denver).
-Delivery is negotiable within a reasonable distance.

thebrass, glad to hear you're getting some great use of the 416! Any pictures of the finished product?

guts, enclosed expedition trailers do tend to be big boxes... and metal ones are more durable! :D

A fresh battery is about $100 and as far as the suspension goes I'm just fully disclosing what I had planned to do as a future project. I've towed it 2,000+ miles on the current suspension without issue.
