God no! I am not sure there was much of an internet when I started 12 years ago. For info here is what I have done. 1979 Golden Eagle CJ-7 Drivetrain • Front-Widetrack Dana 30 (83 Jeep) with Detroit Truetrac w/Warn Front Hub Conversion • T-18 Tranny with 6.32 granny – complete rebuild...

I have seen that. I am concerned about 19 extra pounds hanging out that far on the bolt they use. Would love the extra gas though.

A trailer is just what you need!!! It can haul all the stuff for a family of 5.

What kind of trailer and how does the lid fit? Flat to round, flat to flat, etc.

Yeah yours is great but just to big and wide for my little CJ. I like how you painted yours to match your truck. I would kill for a tailgate but I cannot bring myself to cut the tub. Lid should be here in another week or so and then more pictures on install will follow.

For the water can, I carry it about half full most of the time and about every 2-3 months I change it out. I put about a capful of bleach in it each time. I have never had an issue and the can stays fresh with no real bleach smell or taste. Great idea on the fenders. I will have to show them...

Just remember........... that trailer floats!!!!!!!!!!!

Outstanding job!!! Well done. The toys may fit but you will definitely need another trailer for the ammo for all of them.

Everything so far is a bolt-on. I am debating the fender extensions for all of the same reasons you did. But since my Jeep tires stick out as well I am not sure I want to go to the trouble on the trailer. If I do I will have new ones made and keep the stock ones just in case I or my son want...

Yes that is correct. They make a bracket especially for the 5 lb propane bottles. Good luck with the build and post plenty of pictures.

Part 4: With the vast majority of the frame done, I completed a few final touches like extending the front landing leg, getting custom TX trailer plates ("T Camp N"), and powder coating the fenders to black. They need some body work but I will wait until I paint the trailer to get this done...

Part 3: Since this trailer is designed to pull behind my jeep, I thought that it should look similar to it. Since I was buying new tires for the jeep, the trailer got its own set of BFG 33x12.5 with matching rims. Here it is put back together and with the new wheels. Since my son will be...

Part 2: I had the frame in my garage and spent several long evenings tearing it completely apart. Every nut, bolt, and washer was "bagged and tagged" so exact replacements could be ordered. There is an online bolt company that now loves me!!!!!! Once it was completely apart it was time to...

I am posting this as a followup to an old one on my M416. Now that it is well underway I am posting the build on here and on Central Overland. Just thought I would start a record of my M416 build to go with my Jeep. This has been a long process as I am slow at everything I do, from my jeep to...

I am going with M416 as it looks like mine and it had the same setup. Looks like they also cut the handles off of the corners. Mine looked about as bad when I started. Great find and yes keep the pictures coming.

I agree, a piece of angle iron along the top and on the outside. You may want to talk to Chris at Sierra 4x4 as he makes lids for the M416, uses three hinges and struts of about the same strength but I think he mounts them differently. That may be an issue. He is a great guy and will help.

When I lived in LA i took my CJ over there and they put a gas tank in. It is now 11 years old and no problems. 24+ gallons in a CJ7 is awesome.

McMaster-Carr should have them. Use the ones similar to the latches on an old popup camper. They are adjustable for tension and have a spot to put a lock thru. Try page 2497

I will have to agree with Stuart. I went thru all the links i could find on lids and talked to local builders and Sierra 4x4. I got it down to them and a local builder, each having features I liked. I finally flew out to Reno and drove to Gardnerville, NV and visited with Chris and his wife...
