Look what I picked up today!

[Rosader]

My very first M416! I had it shipped to Utah from Minnesota. It does not have the original tail lights installed, but he sent a pair of originals with it. For now, my plans are to fab up a lid with struts and then a spare tire carrier. After that I'll add things here and there I'm sure. I wont be adding a RTT as I already have a nice Springbar ground tent that I paid a decent amount of money for. I will be repacking the bearings and then taking it on it's first camping trip for Easter weekend.

Nice.
I would have thought a MN trailer would have more rust than that; good find!

It was but nobody bid. I contacted the seller after the auction ended and he gave it to me for $900 plus shipping.

How do you like your springbar, compared to standard pole/dome tents? I have a two pole dome tent that is pretty easy to setup, but the springbar looks like it may be easier???? and certainly more roomy.

Great looking trailer!

I can have my springbar set up in a matter of 5 min. Yes it is very roomy and I can stand up straight inside (I'm 6'-0")
It is very sturdy, stands up surprisingly well to high winds and is water proof.
The only downfall is they are heavy!

Thanks, and I agree. The trailer looks good but even better in person!

Glad to hear you got it. It looks good... Now get busy. Your time is running out to build it.

 

[DonBeasley]

Let the building begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And lots of pictures and ideas.

Great find.
