I think M416 axle is 5x5.5. I have a pair of M416 to Wrangler JL US Wheel Adapters 5x5.5 to 5x5 14x1.5 Studs laying at home. I was going to use my original JL wheel and tire but decided against and order new set of Military NDT tires instead

@canorisa Hey Thank you. I got the cross bar from the same guy i brought the no-weld brackets :) Compact Camping Trailers. The cross bars were $99 for three 56" bars. They cost a little more now with inflation. The previous owner didnt have any paper work for the trailer, but it does look...

@canorisa beautiful trailer! Attached is my "restored" Vietnam era M416 that I turned it into a camper. This may answer some of your questions. The trailer was rattle-can painted and the drilling didn't cause any "damage." We've gone camping a few times and four of us (two adults and two...

It took a few phone calls to find a tire shop with experience with tubes... but other than that they seem great on my M416.

Thank you! @Ovrlnd Rd. I was able to connect it and it works like a charm.

Hello everyone, I finally almost finished with the trailer. However, the safety inspection requires me to get a license plate light. I suppose I would have to splice it to the "tail marker/running light. The problem is I really dont know how. Would any wire splice connector ordered from...

Good day, I was wondering if anyone has used the M416 to JL wheel adapters from https://www.uswheeladapters.com/m416-wheel-adapters/ They look decent and since I have a set of 5 tires and wheels from my Sport S laying around, this is the cheaper route than buying two new military tires or new...

Thanks @quickfarms! It was a ground issue... and lights are working great now. However only the top two light bulbs work... running light and signal light. I just realized that the trailer lights do not include reverse lights? It looks like my M416 tail light has a reverse light on the bottom...

Big THANKS to @Ovrlnd Rd and @high-and-dry and @Verkstad ;) for your help! connecting the ground wire did it!!!

Thanks, @high-and-dry! I’ll connect the ground and test it again!!

Thanks, @Ovrlnd Rd. Still nothing lights up. The bulbs are 12v. Not sure if the harness if defective. Even with out grounds, lights should shimmer right? I just want to get the current flow through first.

Good Morning! I am not having any luck getting the trailer lights to work. Could anyone please translate the following military wiring diagram: to this 5 wire (4 pin) diagram: I would be very much appreciate it! I have tried Green to 22-460; Brown to 21-489; Yellow to 22-461; Brown/Yellow...

You're welcome. No. I just run them with the original springs.

Fantastic!!! I really like what you did to the trailer! For my part, I have 95% finished with the frame and currently just staring at the tub (ha!). The tub on my trailer is is much worse shape than yours. I hope to get started on it next week. I really like the tailgate and the lid!!
