I put a Deka 105 ah deep cycle in the HF tongue box and I use it to power led strips in the RTT. I bought a kit at IKEA, cut of the cord in where it converts to 110v, wired a cigarette plug on it and run the cord out the end of tent and down to box. It is like daylight in there at night and I...

Mine is mounted on Thule roof rack on my M416 with springover. That puts the base of the tent at 60" so the annex cannot be untilized to its full extent. Since I was not mechanical enough to come up with some of the cool lifts for the tent, I just cut the annex off at the bottom by 10" and put...

I have pulled mine in stock form except for springover, behind my jeep to our ranch in OK and my son and I have towed it behind his Tacoma to Arizona and back twice. It should tow just fine with little sag but I can tell you that weight distribution will be critical on your trip. Too much in...

Nice job on the lid. Post photos once it has "skin" on it. How much do you think it weighs?

CJ's and M416's!!! Seems like they are never finished. Great work. You are waaaay more energetic than I am. I am going to work on the trailer this winter: New control panel on box for outside lights New LED lights around frame of trailer for night time use. New LED inside lid New inside...

LOL on the leg!!!! I always do everything twice because I always put stuff back together wrong the first time. I now just write it off to the fact that after 2 times I REALLY know how something goes together.

Not sure how high this opens as I am not at home but photo may help. I have struts mounted at center of tub and about 8" from edge. Other consideration was making sure I could reach handle to pull closed. Did not want it too high.

Nice work on the lights and clever idea. Keep the pictures coming.

Thank God I live in TX. Bill of sale for trailers and guns at garage sales. Life is good!

Not a problem. My build thread should have some additional info as well.

Info Some of this is old but it may be useful.. I cannot upload manual due to size.

Absolutely outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!! Put a small scratch on it and get it over with. Well done.

Online. I posted it on the yahoo m416 site as well. If I can find it I can PM it to you also.

Nice trailer and welcome to the club of money pits! If you have a jeep the pit is complete and your wallet is empty. I got my trailer in Houston as well. I used the M416 manual and the original bolts and ordered all mine online at once. It is not cheap but I replaced every bolt, washer and...

How out of square was it? Mine looked square until we welded the angle iron!

Glad to see the mods keep coming. I used some smaller LED strips that I bought from IKEA and just cut off the plug and hooked to battery box. I put 2 12" on each of the 3 tent supports and it, like yours, is as light as daytime. Almost too much light so sometimes we disconnect 1 or 2 of the...

Tipping was my concern when I built mine. I too have a SOA and am running 33" tires. I did not extend the rack due to my concerns on tipping. I cut the bottom of the annex off instead but I am only just under 6' so it works for me as a sitting room. My thread should have pictures of my shocks...

Dang!! I have been working on mine for almost 3 years. Glad to see someone much quicker than I am at these. Looks great.

Great build. Do you wear sunglasses when looking at that!!! LOL If you can dream it up for an M416, someone on here has tried it and sometimes succeeded. Lots of good builds on here. Yes black is hot in TX. The lid for mine is black and you could cook on it in July!!!!

As I have said many times "you are now official". It is not an M416 build until you get the HF tongue box. What are you going to use the box for? I am using mine for battery that supplies power to LED's and frig. Trailer is looking really good. Very similar to my process a few years ago...
