I started out with a m416 in pretty good shape. I want to make it into a capable camping and offroad trailer.
Here is what it looked like from the start. Picked it up for $450 with the Pintle Hitch. Had to drive 6 hours each way to pick it up.

I knew that I wanted the bolt pattern to match the Toyota so I thought a axle swap was in order. Put on a Dexter 55" 3500lb axle with a part # of NS35655I-ST-EZ for $130. I did not opt for the electric brakes with hand brake. The price was quite a bit more.
I also added some new shocks as well KYB 344426 $25 a piece.
Tear down.

With new axle on and 265/70/17 tires on FJ wheels.

Test fit with my snow tires to make sure they will fit.
