I can tell you from experience that if you do not intend to do the work yourself on a M-416 it will be a money pit. If you have some metal working skills and have a local source for materials you will come out much cheaper by scratch building. It you haven't seen the thread my brother updates...

Thanks

Great looking rig, where were the doors sourced from? Thanks

$800.00 sounds like a good deal. Your tow vehicle would handle that trailer just fine. I would go for it.

I think you could do a lot with that trailer. Is that the tow vehicle (full size PU)? I ask this because of weight, no issue with full size pickup but might be with jeep. Lots of lockable storage. Good price?

I increased to 4 x50lbs with great success. For the CVT Mt. Rainier and my rack these work very well.

Thank you Andy. We had a great time out at CFW, great people great food! As far as the cross members yes there will be two installed, I leave them out until the axle is installed with the springs and shocks. It's just easier to setup the shocks with the cross members out.

I have two... Yours free if you pick them up.. Evans, GA

I installed my CVT Mt. Rainier yesterday. I currently have 4 x 25lbs struts. The rack requires a bit more assistance to elevate than the Tepui Kukenam. So I think I will increase to 4 x50lbs. The Mt Rainier and the Gran Sabana are about the same weight so you should be good with 4 x 50lbs.

I currently have a Tepui Kukenam RTT on my rig and went with 4 x 25lbs struts. It works great, just pull the pins and give it a little push. No issue for my wife and I. However I just purchased CVT's Mt. Rainier and will be installing it this weekend. I suspect I will need to go up to 4 x...

I went with these: SJ-100 Stabilizer Jack from Southwest Trailer out of Dallas, TX. I only paid $9.45 each plus shipping. Had to cut base off and add 1x1 tubing. You can see it on thread attached to my profile.

The two different latches I found on amazon. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DIDB686/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and (http://www.amazon.com/Buyers-Products-8000SSL-Stainless-Locking/dp/B0000AXBOG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_auto_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0AR2SHJKDMPWNPJZ7ASF)

Mark thanks. I use a hydraulic punch driver from Harbor Freight.( http://www.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-punch-driver-kit-96718.html) and a dimple die from amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SBTQG0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

Great find!! Looking forward to the build.

Thanks. I'm thinking around 1100 lbs or less, the last build was 1800lbs.

Brian, I'm in Augusta ga and have two tires/rims for a m416. I don't want them nor do I want any money for them. If your In the area they are yours.. Here is the thread to my brother and my builds http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/100534-M416-trailer-build-my-brother-and-I

As my brother said yes changes are in the works for Gen 3. I'm going with 18 GA for the top and 3/4 " square tube for the ribs instead of 1" square tube. Also on Gen 2 I went with a split top (this was for the purpose of housing the elect package), Gen 3 will have only one top but cover the same...

What size struts are you using? With the RTT and the steal roof rack I used two 250lbs struts (its a little over kill but wanted to make sure the lid would raise if the roof rack was loaded). As soon as the latch is pulled the top opens with just a nudge. McMaster's has from 25lbs to 250lbs...

These are the latches I used: "Dee Zee DZTBLATCH1 Tool Box Latch". Give me a few days to get the pics, Ill need to get my buddy to take them. I went with these because it gives a real clean look. You can source them from AMAZON.
