Also, what about this trailer: M105A2 Cargo Trailer
Is that a good platform to start a build?

my 2 cents
U.S. Military M105A2 1.5 Ton cargo trailer. The bed measures 9' x 7' and it has a GVW of 5750 pounds
That is a lot of weight to tow even when empty!
$500 seems avg price, I looked for a while and that was the going rate for a decent one....
others here have a lot more experience with them!

Yep! You can actually fit a CJ/YJ/TJ in the bed of an M105!! (the M105 was towed behind the Duece and 1/2's)
$500 is a good deal on the 1/4ton, even with the hitch having been altered.
I've seen them going for $700-$1000 in that shape.

Yeah, this one is actually local but too much trailer for me!

Thats a decent price for the M416..heck you even get a bed full of firewood free!. Kinda makes it hard to see the condition of the floor though. MIne seemed decent until I started sandblasting the floor and realized it was a lot thinner then I thought.

Must be how they are sold, mine was full of wood/branches also when I bought it:elkgrin:
Luckily, the bed only had some surface rust. I was a bit worried, becuase I had been watching the trailer for a couple of years. It sat for a year in one place, the bed full of wood/branches/yard debris.
But for the price ($275 4 years ago) I couldn't pass it up!:wings:
Glad I didn't, as it was very sound both body and mechanical wise.
