    Bantam T3-C Build

    It's easy - it's called "home made". Apply for a title, get number to apply to axle and another place on frame, have inspected for same, get plate. parcours - look forward to watching your build!

    20L/5 Gal military fuel cans

    Does a standard spout fit these? They look more like oil cans, I have two and like them for carrying capacity, but pouring requires a different approach.

    My M416 - Yes, another one

    Sweet! Subscribed. With no tailgate, your daughter would love it full of water as a swimming pool - just be sure it's hooked up to a vehicle or supported in the rear so it won't tip... Nice find, good luck with the build.

    An Oztent to complement my Kamper, maybe even replace the RTT

    You'll find an extra zipper on top of the front edge of the RV-5 (I'm guess for the rain fly, but not sure as I don't have one), that you could make up a number of things to fit - a narrow piece of material that connects to the underside of your Kamper canopy in several ways (Velcro, but also a...

    An Oztent to complement my Kamper, maybe even replace the RTT

    I run two Byer cots in an RV5 front to back and they just barely clear - particularly when you factor in the height of your sleeping bag, you, etc. laying on the cot. I love the tent, but fighting condensation in my part of the world is a focal point. Good luck with your plans. Pics when you...

    An Oztent to complement my Kamper, maybe even replace the RTT

    Curious to see how you connect the Oz to the Kamper. Subscribed!

    Anyone own one of these??

    Not sure what a "military M114 1/2 ton model" trailer is (an M114 is an armored personnel carrier...), but that's a nice looking M416. Cool bow assembly and top. $3,500 is a bit steep with a bent landing leg tho...

    M416 question

    Your M416 is no different than any other trailer - they all sway when the tongue weight is too light. Gotta plan for your load.

    Post favorite pics of your rig and trailer

    I like the consistency of Mark's convictions. I've come to expect his expression of an aesthetic that I believe raises the bar beyond just having something we drag along behind our vehicles, and creates an expectation that we should either live up to, or reject on merits that we can defend. ...

    Fiberglass M416/M100 Military-style Trailer Tub Kit

    Truly a functional work of art and craftsmanship! What are your thoughts on adapting the lip on the M416 to work with the cover since your tub's lip is turned inward?

    Fiberglass M416/M100 Military-style Trailer Tub Kit

    For me, I'd be looking at side hinge, hinge-side strut.

    Fiberglass M416/M100 Military-style Trailer Tub Kit

    Jeff, some quick thoughts: - You show lift supports in the concept pic - would these come standard? - Would like the latches to be lockable in some way, at minimum with padlocks. Could the lid support lockable paddle latches? - Would the lid come in one hinge configuration but also have...

    Fiberglass M416/M100 Military-style Trailer Tub Kit

    Pretty cool! I think the DIY market, but also folks looking to restore old trailers, will love this. What a great way to introduce folks to a classic trailer with a brand new product that will last! Easily one of the best thought-out designs - but also the manufacturing aspects, I have had a...

    Fiberglass M416/M100 Military-style Trailer Tub Kit

    LOL! Yea, I'm good at ideas that cost more money, are more complicated to build, and take more time - just look at what I've thrown into a $250 trailer over the last 15 years... but you got the idea! :-) . In the end, I'm partial to the lengthwise split (left below): . . but others should...
