Jeff, I used to run a similar setup on my M416, using a vinyl coated wire rope that ran thru the grommets, at just the right length to be tight when locked thru two eyelets on each end, but with enough slack when unlocked to allow it to come off the tie downs. Wasn't going to stop anybody that...

Hey, hey! I resemble that remark! :sombrero: . And why do we have a fuel can on the cooker? Mark, you find the wildest stuff! I used to think my GoogleFu was strong, but now I'm beginning to doubt... How do you find this stuff?

One cool technique is to back into your camping spot, jack-knifing the trailer to the left, and using the trailer and whatever hatchback, tailgate, truck bed, etc. storage you have right along with the trailer. That implies a right-side opening. Folks who have right-hand drive vehicles might...

Jeff, when you say both, would you use an adapter for the M416 like you described for your full cover, or would the length of the front and rear sections be adjusted to account for the M416 lip being on the outside of the tub?

I've found that in situations like sand, that having a wider tread has given me better floatation. I run 12.5x33x15 on the YJ, and so run the same on the trailer, and have had no issues pulling the trailer through the deep silt as I had in the past with the military tires. Some tires are...

You could also look into a u-bolt flip kit.

So many ideas in one place! I'd love to see some close-ups of the lid - hinge, corners, latches, etc. And your propane bottle mount too. Oh, and you've got a lot going on there in the tongue box too! What all's tucked inside? Really great trailer. You may have inspired me to finally...

Saw your post on the build thread - nice! I'll ask any questions over there. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/120637-M416-Expo-Trailer?p=1492972#post1492972 Thanks!

Nice lid for the trailer too - got any close ups or drawings? Been thinking I'd do one out of wood someday.

Sweet!

Could we get a close up of the propane bottle holders on the rear? I keep finding ones for sale that are ridiculously priced, so thinking of making my own. Trailer looks fantastic!

Yeah, really, what a space saver! Pics are cool, any plans floating around?

I've had similar thoughts for years - really like your design. The idea that it could be removed and stored, using the tub for utility hauling etc., is one aspect of using the M416 frame that appeals to me. . I'd want water tank, swing/slide out kitchen, water heater (small on-demand type)...

I've vote for the top one, but with the water the lowest of the peaks like it would be between mountains. :-)

That's why I like a stick... get to pick my gear in 4L based on conditions.

I've discovered mesh tarps. Allows water to penetrate, which is nice for shower area, but also in that the tarp can be larger than the tent - and doesn't puddle underneath. In sand, it helps keep feet from tracking as much sand into the tent almost like a door mat (it's not perfect, but a lot...

Love the trip meter reset button... :)

I wonder if that logo is original? It looks cool either way. Maybe take a pic, add some dimensions and get somebody to make you a stencil to recreate it later. Very nice start!

Obviously a different Ft. Bragg than the one I'm familiar with... looks nice!
