Its always nice to spend time in the saddle again! Especially with a good friend. Have hope,, and tell Him to fight.. I have had several friends with that same diagnosis and the outcome was different in all of them,, But I have to say my one friend who fought it has had a great outcome.. So if...

Its a great idea for small cars and light duty aplications.. and for those who are not handy with tools.. a no brainer type thing to tow behind a honda element or even a honda fit for that matter.. For those on here I doubt it would fly.. but it gives ideas to the basics.. Sorta basic like the...

If you have a nice big 1/2 drive socket that is larger than the seal put a 4" extension in the open end and use the nice flat side against the new seal. Tap on the extension with a hammer,, like having a seal/bearing installer.. Just go slow and keep it straight..

By the time you get the adapters made you should be about the same or higher than getting a 3500# axle with the right width and bolt pattern. I think AT had a source for axles that would allow parking brakes if you wanted to keep them..

I know its an old post,, but check out the local jeep clubs forums for anybody clearing out pre-75 cj springs. A while back someone had a 3 or 4" lift set of early cj springs for $400 on one of the Jersey jeep club boards. I had a computer meltdown and since I'm bad at backing stuff up,, I lost...

On two of my 416's I removed the crappy wiring and fully rewired anyway so I ditched the box and had a smaller wire jump box which fit nicer and gave me a way to replace the end that connected to the tow vehicle in case of damage. I'll see if I can find pictures of the box I used. It was from...

I just picked up a neon this week,, after all the different homebuilt camping rigs I have had the wife said she wants a "real" camper,, or storebought.. one that she can walk in and go to sleep.. not climb thru a "hatch" or zip open a door after climbing a ladder. Great pics you guys have...

Herc and durabak are similar but are NOT the same,, I have used both.. I do recommend a pro spray in over either of these,, but the durabak is way better over the herc(but thats still not saying much!).. Also its a much better job going with an undercoat gun.. I do not recommend a roller...

That info was on the data plate on my 67 stevens, m416 and same on my 66 m614(same just different#).. as the design there were contracted thru the gov to meet certain specs.. the main one was to carry 500# off-road and at"speed" or at an off-road speed the m38 and the m151 could go.. Also it was...

That looks like a late 70's or 80's era m416,, has the surge brakes,, and the non rotating pintle,, plus,, big plus here,, the axle is of a more normal type,, the bearings are two different sizes.. allowing different hubs to be easily swapped out.. good one to get a hold of..

I was told they were being readied to ship overseas,, Iraq or close,, had about 25-30 all lined up.. No markings on them yet.. Right off the trucks..

If you have a 416 or m100, mbt, or Bantam for that matter.. have you cut a tailgate in it? or is there one cut in? I have a m416 in good shape, but it has a few little rust holes in the rear panel. It would be so much easier just to cut and tailgate this trailer. Now its in good shape and still...

Now that is a picture! Cant wait to see what you do with the trailer!

Just remember,, since its a mil trailer,, everything you take off keep off to the side.. You can always sell it later to recoup some of the initial investment.. If you go with a lock-n-roll you should be able to get good cash for the lunette assemble as a whole.. Good luck,, and take lots of...

For $300 its not bad,, the delivery charges is what would kill it for me at least.. You got that off Ron? Hes alright.. Its a shame,, I drive down to cary every winter usually,, for factory training at the John deere plant in fuquay and We used to stay at Cary.. Now up near the airport.. Shame...

It looks rather rusty,, but the rail is easy to replace,, as long as you can weld. The lunette rotates so you would want the pintle to mount solid.. Or go lock-n-roll.. best one if your going to go to a modern coupler. The unit looks odd tho,, the frame with the drop hoops is newer than the...

I saw a whole group of those new hummer trailers yesterday,, got a little peak underneath,, way overbuilt,, trailing arm/torsion arm system? They were all brand new.. I really wanted to hook one up and go,, but I dont think the MP's at Lakehurst NAS would have been too happy with me..

Like the hinges man,, looks like a nice project you have going on..

Sorry it took so long, but everytime I wanted to take pics it was either raining or snowing,, or both.. These were at night a week ago,, It's a light duty trailer and rated for 1K #'s.. But I have seen ones slightly bigger and took some heavy weight. This tows nice with three bikes on it, close...

I have some ways of removing dents,, but its when it was crushed from above.. Show some pics of your bed and I'll see If I can steer you in the right direction,, And on the floor,, are you planning afull restoration,, or just making a expedition type trailer? I was at a MV show and saw one 416...
