I hope you get some answers related to what you actually asked. We are also currently weighing this idea but considering a teardrop style rather than RTT based. I have a suspicion that your current situation will be limited more by what’s available and affordable rather than what you or anyone...

Oh wow. Welded the tub on. That must have been a joy! I hear ya on the weather. No fun working in the cold! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep. Looks like you found them all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ha. No. That’s actually a rubber mat I bought at Home Depot and placed on the floor. No welding required for that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice! Mine still has a long way to go but take your time and it will all be awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That would be awesome and much appreciated. It’s definitely on my list to get done. It just hasn’t quite made it to the top of the list yet. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is currently Frankensteined, but doesn’t look too awful. I have not had time to get practice welding so it is what it is for now. When weather gets colder I should have more time to mess with it since I will have less time to be out on the trails with the Jeep. Lol. The weather has been so...

Not that the army technical manual isn’t an awesome resource... it totally is indispensable but it’s almost too much and it uses part numbers and stuff that require more research to find their modern day equivalents. It was written when the thing was new so is great for understanding what should...

I dunno... I saw that thing on a lot of posts like this when I was putting mine back together and I have to say in many cases it was not all that helpful. When I get home I think I have a list of the hardware that I bought somewhere. Ill see if it seems useful and possible to post here. Sent...

Parts arrived today and confirmed they are exactly the right bolts, and come with flat and lock washer and nuts to install.

So question for those who have more experience with fabrication than me (which is pretty much everyone, I think) : since someone already cut the back off, I am probably going to figure out a tailgate, but for now I am concerned about the integrity of the sides. What’s the best way to reinforce...

Mostly back together now. Waiting on on new u-bolts to arrive to finish the axle. I put the old ones back in temporarily because I couldn’t find new ones locally and had to order some. They should be here today so I can get the old man out on the road for a good test run tomorrow. I cut some...

Probably just the angle. It looks original to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I recognize this is an old thread, but it came up first in my google search for this, so in case anyone comes here looking for this and has some uncertainty as I did, I was able to order from Walck's 4WD. It is part number A8578. I haven't received it yet to validate, but the measurements...

Got the frame all back together and the tub set back on it last night. Still have to finish securing the lighting wires, put the fenders back on and a few more minor details... but the old man is just about ready to be registered. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know that I purchased my m416 completely based on the fact that it was cool that it had a connection with Jeeps. Maybe not MY Jeep... but Jeeps. Lol. Anyway, I really didn’t consider how I would use it much, if at all. Just seemed cool to have that living piece of history. Is there a build...

Since I have just bought an m416, I hope more people reply to this soon so I can learn from their regrets. Other than that one that just said it’s too small. Too late for that one, buddy. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In my garage, I have: some inexpensive trailer lighting to put on (the original lights were trashed and the wiring was all hacked up so no point trying to restore them at this point) New shocks New wheel bearings and races and seals New spring mount bolts and U bolts with their funny little...

Now we are up to today: I got the tub and the frame sandblasted and covered with Rust reformer so hopefully that will keep it from rusting any further. Next steps will be to finish sandblasting the smaller parts, give them the rust reformer treatment and then paint everything and put it...
