Awesome….I like the ingenuity as well as the concept!!

When traversing steep trails pulling an M416 or M100, you can apply the parking brake to "drag" the trailer. This makes it go from being pushed by the trailer to having to drag an anchor. The parking brake is awesome once the trailer is removed around camp.

I have also extended the tongue of my M416 so that the rear can open without hitting the trailer. The added benefit I did not realize until I got on the trail was that it also allowed me to jackknife the trailer beyond 90 degrees without hitting the trailer on any part of the Jeep. This is great...

I found a seller on ebay that has what you need. Looks like NOS and in great shape. looks like $120 for a pair, shipping is crazy stupid though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jeep-Willys-M416A1-M416-1-4-ton-trailer-NOS-Fender/292202309173?epid=2155928095&hash=item44089d6635:g:OoIAAOSwVbxZggnV

Your welcome....currently working on 2 restorations (M100 nd M416) plus a few other trailer projects...let me know if you need anything (parts, advice or technical questions). I have a bunch of spare parts and or know where to find stuff if you need it.

Price a little higher than the $530, but I am super happy with this set up on mine. Customer service is great there. https://metalcloak.com/metalcloak-hd-steering-system-jk-wrangler-rocksport-edition.html

yes, with that low mileage on it. There may be additional costs if it has sat for a long period of time......check the fluids....look for "wet" areas on the underside that can tell what the seals may look like (greater costs). Rust in that area may be an indication there is much more so check...

There may also be tabs that use the bolts (u bolts) along the front as well. They can be hard to see unless you look underneath

Cut the floor out, but leave 1/4-1/2 inch lip all the way around. Have a piece of sheet metal (12 to 14 gauge) cut to the dimensions of the floor (72 x 41 if I remember correctly). Drop it in and tack weld it. add some seam sealer and it should be good. Did that with one of my 416 projects a few...

Or there is always a nice deterrent like this for your pintle......used one when I lived in the city to deter theft. If someone wants it bad enough they will rig something to tow it. This keeps it safe from honest people. https://www.etrailer.com/Lunette-Ring-Locks/Blaylock-Industries/BLTL-60.html

I have driven 1/4 and 1/2 ton trailers all over the state and the Rubicon trail 3-4 times a summer for many years. A ball hitch is great on highways but would never work on that trail. I used pintle hitches for years, and the articulate really well, but do tend to clang and push/pull bang at...

I have used both as well. Pintle will bang when rock crawling and your moving through rough terrain, but quiet on the road. I have converted several of my trailers to a Max Coupler and love them. As far as a new hitch yes you will need one, but I suggest something like this. It handles both and...

Did you figure out a lighting solution for inside the RTT? I used LED strip lights (waterproof and sticky tape to mount). Just solder on wire to the length you want to mount, peel the sticky tape and press on to the bars in the tent. Stays there permanently. I would add some small zip ties...

Sweet......I have seen guys use old Jeep tailgates that look great...I will shoot some pictures of my trailer today to further explain my homebuilt to add stability to cutting a tailgate into a m416 or m100.

How's your progress? Did you get the tailgate figured out?

any updates or modifications coming??

I have a 20 year old Cherokee (1999) that I am the sole owner of. It has been a great vehicle but is now sitting at just over 250,000 miles. This has been a great vehicle and I have tried to take care of it. I have never had any major mechanical issues that I didn't cause (none to the engine...

How about something simple that covers both the motorcycle and gear. I cant remember where I saw it, but a fella had taken a M116 generator trailer, added some lockable cargo boxes on the sides (think fenders)...and had built a rack to hold his rtt. The rack allowed a MC to be secured underneath...

Is that the Green Creek area southwest of Bridgeport?

Need these to go to a good home...and out of my garage....open to offers.
