Just a side note,, the 416 is 2" wider than the MB/M100 tub,, so I'm not sure those tubs will fit on your frame..

That is cool,, costco you say,, I think My wife told me I'm going there sometime soon,, now I actually want to go..

Its a little heavy but you do have a 2500 HD pickup,, I've towed 10K # with one and had no issues,, so 3500# loaded would be no concern,, and the 100# between the two would not concern me for the better suspension of the two.. What engine in you truck?gas or diesel? And do you plan on towing all...

I've been to Franklin trailers,, nice place,, sometimes hard to drive in and out with a trailer,(too many people), hows all that highway construction in front of your shop? done yet,, I haven't been past in about 7-9 months.. 4 of the guys at work have side landscaping businesses,, all drive the...

I have a late 60's early 70's era trailer that has a simple coil spring link suspension.. Would you like me to post pics of how they did it back then?? Steve

Those fenders give up a lot of room for some big tires.... Cant wait to see it without the topper and the kitchen floor... Good find there!

CHeck out g503.org for details on the 416's.. Just a heads up,, I have owned both the 416 and the 614,, the 614 is actually a 416 that was speced out for the usmc instead of the army,, or rumored to have,, dimensions are exactly the same,, unless its a b1,, then it has surge brakes and different...

whats rugby? sounds like chafing you get rolling around on the carpet,,,

So,, how does it tow with the 4.56's?? I'm really leaning to these as I want 33's or 35's and tow also.. I was towing my 416 with a light load in it and forgot it was even there,, but noticed lower mpg,, like 17mpg.. I would really like a better trailer, which will most likely result in a...

looks like a great starting point! How about a better pic of the stickers and artwork on the tail?

Nice little slideshow,, looks like you had fun,, and nice espresso maker too!

That 416 looks like its in great shape already,, nice start point! Keep the pictures coming!

That yellow thing looks neat,, but not much ground clearance,, how does it do in the rocks? I was out looking at jk4drs to replace the wifes liberty and 3 of the saharas had 3.21's and none had the tracloc rear.. which is a big plus in snow.. Then we were told what the trade value for our libby...

Sure you have 3.73's? I have an 08 x 2dr with 3.73's and 32's and have towed 3k# up steep inclines, it wasnt happy to do it but I pulled 45-55 up 10% grades for 2 miles with out issues and still got 16 mpg.. My 07 was able to do much better with the 4.10's but an old lady killed that jeep and...

regear,, they cannot void the warranty if you stay with a gear ratio that is available from the factory.. I'd go with 4.10's,, If you can swing it,, just get the new 44's from DC with the 4.10s,, bolt in swap and they would have to prove that the regear is what caused the fail.. Lots of info on...

I'd go with a leafspring over torsion if offroading is involved.. They hold up well and are proven tough.. I've seen torsion flex axles fail,, even just using them on the street.. I'm not a fan, especially for the extra $$ they cost.

I hear you,, putting off some of my trailer mods so I can pick up a few guns before the laws change again.. looking for a 1911a1 and a AR-15,, Then back to the trailers..

The 500# payload is to be able to float,, on road these were rated at 1250# or so,, off-road 750# and flotation 500#.. or about that..

I agree on taking time and thinking about it,, but in my area if they are drinking something,, it aint tea.. then the repairs get quite interesting.. but again,, I have rednecks for neighbors.. not that theirs anything wrong with that..

If you want to ditch the c shackle get the "better shackles" they sell for cj2a-early(pre75)5.. They all used the same front springs in either 7, 8, 9, or 10 leaf spring packs,, 36 1/4" long by 1 3/4" wide.. That way you can still use you spring perches on the axle and frame,, yj springs or...
