So I picked up the trailer today; I'm pleased with how the liner and lid came out. The lid is snug around the outside edge of the trailer (plus there's velcro), but is loose on the top so if we have a load that goes past the top of the trailer, we're good. In the pictures you can see more of the...

So the trailer's been at the upholstery place for a bit now. They've got the liner part almost done; now they're working on the lid. It is supposed to be done this week. Here are a few shots of how it's looking so far.

Sierra Trailer (they make nice looking trailers) will sell the tubs separately, and will make them to fit my 4' trailer frame. With a lid and finished it would be about $2000. It would be first class I'm sure; I just can't justify the price. The poly tub above cost around $300 on their site...

$1500 would be too much; I was thinking more around $500 - $600. But I like your idea about pre-made corners and such. Would you be talking about making them for an M-416/M-100 type trailer tub, or just a rectangular box? If it was for an M-416/M-100 type tub I'd be game to give it a shot...

Now if somebody would just make an aluminum diamond plate box for these little 4' trailers that would be great. Make them with a base of 41" x 50", about 22" tall, and in the shape of a M416 trailer. I'll bet you could sell a bunch of them. Make them like a big aluminum tool box (with an...

Today HF is having a 25% off any one item. So today would be a good day to go buy one. Even if you change the hubs out to 5 on 4.5" hubs, your axle is still not really wide enough for anything other than the 4.8x8" (or 12") tires that are mounted on 4" wide rims. With these tires, you've only...

Here's a couple of pictures with it all connected to the Jeep. Right now the trailer is at an upholstery place getting a vinyl liner and cover made.

Reference Post #24 (above); I modified the tongue on my lil' adventure trailer. Here are some pictures. It's at an upholstery place now getting a liner with a lid made.

So I got it all painted up and put together. I also got a receiver mounted lunette ring (2.5" diameter hole). Just for fun, I took the lunette ring out and took my magnetic angle finder and went to my pintle hitch on the Jeep. Side-to-side measurements (twist): 28-30 degrees Up-and-down...

Trailer tongue modification: I want to get a Max Coupler for my trailer before I take it to Alaska this summer. So I needed a way to mount a 2" receiver to my trailer tongue. I bought a 12" long 2" receiver tube at Harbor Freight, and an 8" long piece of square tubing from my local welding...

Here's the write-up on my little trailer: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f27/mini-harbor-freight-type-trailer-ultimate-build-up-thread-1180456/ It's based on a little Harbor Freight type 4' trailer. I towed it to Moab and back (2200 miles round trip - bottom picture) loaded with camping gear...

I've got a little over $1100 total in my trailer after all the mods including the ammo can, fuel cans, etc. I needed a little trailer, and was wanting a project. I wanted to see what could be done with a little Harbor Freight type trailer, and wrote it up so others could maybe get some ideas...

Thanks for the compliments. In the ammo can I keep a spare axle hub assembly and bearings/races, some grease, spare lug nuts, and the nozzel for the little gas cans. And there's still room for more stuff. The Jeep tailgate swings over the ammo can with just a little room to spare. My TJ is a...

A couple of years ago I bought a little four-foot trailer frame from Harbor Freight, and built it up. It'll never compare to an M-416, but I like it. Here's the link to the build: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f27/mini-harbor-freight-type-trailer-ultimate-build-up-thread-1180456/ I loaded...

Here's my little 4' Harbor Freight trailer that I modified (see thread below). It pulls very nicely behind my four cylinder TJ Jeep. I wish someone made a diamond plate aluminum M-416 replica tub with a 41" x 50" base and about 22" tall. It would be a bolt-on affair for these little 4'...
