    M416 Build to go behind my CJ

    They are 5 lb tanks (one on each side). I got them at Cabela's but I think several stores carry them. The bracket is sold by PowerTank and is made for these bottles. Thanks.

    Your 2 cents please...

    As you have already found out Chris @ Sierra 4x4 is a great guy. Always ready to help even if you do not buy from him. I have his lid on my M416 and about to install the hinges and struts to make it work.

    new to me m416

    Why the need for different bearings. The axle has 5x5.5 pattern and bearings are Federal Mogul A35 containing a bearing (LM501349) and Race (LM501310) The seals are Federal Mogul 472018.

    RTT on trailer with.... Changing room?

    Java: I am having the same issue. Now that I have lid, I measured the roof rack, crossbars, & tent bars underneath and come up with a total height of 59"-60" for bottom of deployed tent to the ground. I too would like about 6'. I have considered just living with this and having the annex...

    M416 Build to go behind my CJ

    Part 6 THE LIDS ARE IN Finally back from Vegas and went and picked up my trailer lid. As expected Chris @ Sierra 4x4 did an outstanding job. Came by freight and in excellent condition. I could not wait until daylight for pictures so pardon the poor Iphone quality. My son took these in the...

    Any reason for hinges on passenger side. This puts you on the road side if you have to pull over and get into the trailer for something. Usually you would put the hinges on the driver side so that you are on the safe side from passing cars if you have to open. Just my 2 cents Looks great.

    Expedition Portal Visits The SHOT Show - Live Updates

    Matt great job of reporting what is there. I walked it from 8:30 until 5 PM and my b*%t is kicked. Too much to see and didn't get a single picture. Lots of great stuff for stocking the truck and trailer. I have about 20lbs of catalogs to take home and read.

    At first I thought they were using them to pick up brochures but most seem to be very lightweight. Maybe a jacket or something in them. Any yes everyone seems to have them as well as tactical pants. Next year they all show up with tac helmets!!!!

    Some of the women at the SHOT show must have come from the other one!! They sure look like it.

    I am there as well and have to agree. There is quite a bit of stuff that is very relevant to overlanding. Great gear, clothes, shoes, sleeping bags, packs, etc. The place is huge and 3 days is not enough time.

    M416 Build to go behind my CJ

    After 6 long months, my M416 lid has finally arrived at the freight terminal in Ft. Worth and I am in Las Vegas all week. What bad timing. I will post pictures as soon as I pick it up.

    M416 Build to go behind my CJ

    Not a pretty sight!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will have to remember that. I am old and slow so hopefully that will not happen. As soon as lid is on, I will load it with a bunch of weight and give it a test run.

    M416 Build to go behind my CJ

    Thanks. I am on Jeepforum as we speak so I will go look. No way to put adapters on the axle to accept your wheels? I am not to familiar with the small hub axle. Yeah I had the tub sandblasted and powdercoated with a zinc based rust inhibiting primer. It will get painted Alpaca Brown to...

    M416 Build to go behind my CJ

    Thanks. It is an ongoing(i.e. neverending) project that has been going on for 12 years so far. Sierra 4x4 (in Nevada) has perfect timing!!! Chris shipped it today and it should be here on Thursday. I am in Nevada all of next week. Would have been expensive to check it on the plane as...

    The Saga Continues Part 5 After a long wait, the lids are finally on their way today or tomorrow. The red one belongs to another member on here, KA5IVR, and the white one leaning against the wall is mine. I had mine left in primer on the outside as it will be painted to match the jeep...
