Until my lid arrived I just used an old military green trap that is made for these things.

Never heard of them but nice trailer. Really like the canvas top and rail for RTT. Looks like my M416.

My son is having the same dilemma. I will ask him to chime in.

I too thought about a roll top since it would be a whole lot easier (or so it seems) but could not think of a good way to attach the RTT without brackets coming up from tub. Great idea. Would love to see someone make it work

Funny!!!!!!!!! If my father-in-law had an M416 in his barn I would ask him over more often too. All he has is an old Studebaker truck and hay!!!!

I was in the same dilemna and could not decide on lid or elevated rack for RTT. I finally went with the lid as I want the security of the lid but still trying to decide if I just mount the RTT on the Thule rack I have or build a rack that is raised about 10"-12" so I can use the annex for the...

Sent you a PM on lid. We are trying to get ours ready to go to Overland Expo in May if possible.

nothing new yet. All still sitting in garage but I should have my hardware by Friday and next week it gets the lid put on ----- hopefully!! I will post pictures.

My M416 is 5 x 5.5. Is yours an M416A1? Are they different?

You don't have video of that do you???????????? NOTE: Make sure the lid is fully secured before exiting. Ask me how I know.

Interesting!! What are the specs? Width, length, weight, carry capacity, axle type. etc.? What are your plans for this?

Now called Greenespanelworks.com

I have the exact rack and am about to put it on my metal lid. The best I can tell, the rail comes with bolts so it is designed to go all the way thru and use washers and nuts. Thule assumes this will be on a fiberglass camper shell. The metal setup comes with an expansion type of setup and...

Exactly why blasting is the way to go. Whatever paint/powdercoating you use just comes out looking better. The tub is in great shape.

Here are some before and after shots: Go with the sandblasting! Powdercoat the frame if you can. Yes I know it is more expensive that sanding it yourself but at my age it is worth writing the check (does anyone besides me write checks). All of my stuff, my jeep, my guns, and now my...

Not surprised about the rust in the bottom. Mine had about 20 pinholes that only showed up when I sandblasted it. Spot weld the big ones and bedline the small ones.

Great looking trailer. What are your plans for it? I told my wife no because my second wife may want kids. She didn't think that was too funny!!!!!!

Great find. The tub and trailer look in really good shape. I am in Dallas and I had my tub sandblasted for about $300 and that included powdercoating in basic grey. Yours is in much better shape then mine was. There are lots of threads on lids. Everything from purchased ones to self-fab'd...

Post lots of pictures!!!!!!!!!!!! We are an obsessed bunch when it comes to M416's.

OK, I know the lid is not even fastened on the trailer yet but I could not wait. The ARB is here so I thought I would post a picture,even if it is just a box. Found a fab guy to install the lid, just waiting on hardware to arrive.
