    The Josh's M416 Trailer Build

    Thank you! I'm loving it so far, a very stout little trailer! Thanks for all the part numbers! I decided that I'm just going to get a new axle with electric brakes. I'm not sure if I should keep the same width or go a little bit wider on the axle, any thoughts? I plan on running 35"s with 6...

    Which Springs for my M416?

    I'm curious what springs and shocks I should run to provide enough clearance for 35" tires?

    The Josh's M416 Trailer Build

    Thanks that's the route I will go. Ill take the trailer apart. Pressure wash, por15 the frame and the top coat with a nice rattle can and call it a day! Now for the suspension and hubs. What should I get and from where to clear some 35"s and is it possible to swap hubs to a 6 lug to use Toyota...

    The Josh's M416 Trailer Build

    Excellent point and makes perfect sense, I want function over pretty looks most of all. I've actually used behr exterior paint on my work trailers and it last for years before its fades. Maybe ill save a lot of money and do just por15 on the frame and paint it after either rattle can or...

    The Josh's M416 Trailer Build

    First off nice trailer! I will be selling the wheels and tires, but I actually have two sets, he have me two spares with the trailer. I kinda want to rip it apart hahah and just replace all the hardware and when I paint the frame I can make sure I got every inch. I figured since its just a...

    The Josh's M416 Trailer Build

    I'm actually building the trailer for my silver 4runner in my avatar :) but yes I wanna paint to match. What kinda of cj-3 spring kits should I go with? Should I change out the axle, where can I find one? Or can I just switch out the hubs to a 6 lug?

    The Josh's M416 Trailer Build

    I called around a few shops to get a quote to powder coat the frame of the trailer and they told me $400-$500. This seems a bit excessive. I've had tons of stuff powdercoated before but it was never that expensive. Does this seems right?

    The Josh's M416 Trailer Build

    Late last night I picked up this looker. All And all it seems in decent shape. There is a couple dents on the exterior that I can learn to work out and a little bit of rust on the bottom of the tub on one of its cross supports. The frame is really solid so I don't think there is much to do there...

    What happened to the sierra 4x4 thread from yesterday?

    I'm with you on this. I'm glad at least this thread is visible so I know there was some underlying issues

    What To Look For When Buying a M416 and pricing range???

    Thank you for the link, those are some rough trailers! I'd much rather spend more for a straighter box and this one I found is driving distance. I'd hate to have to figure out how to get a trailer that is in Pennsylvania to my home in California.

    What To Look For When Buying a M416 and pricing range???

    Thanks you so much for the input guys, I really appreciate it. I would want to eventually change the hitch to a multi axis coupler but I am concerned about how the front frame will connect to the rear. I will ask for some more photos today prior to me making the drive and I will post them up

    What To Look For When Buying a M416 and pricing range???

    Thanks guys, well the price started out at $1200. I haven't seen it in person yet but he sent me like 20 pictures. It's a 6 hour round trip trip that I plan on making tonight after work. I'm really excited and I really like this one. With the exception of the dent in the rear panel if seems...
