I’m looking to downsize from my M1102 into a M416 or comparable sized off-road trailer.
My M1102 has been brought back to "civilian specs".
This involves:
*Removing the 4 inch spacer between the Axle and tub. This brings the tailgate down to a more usable 24 inches off the ground without sacrificing ANY ground clearance. This trailer is running 31s but you can clear up to 35" tires.
*Replacing the hydraulic brakes with Dexter Electric brakes WITH Parking Brakes and breakaway kit.
*Replacing the pintle hitch with a standard 2 inch ball. You can easily swap that out for an Offroad Max Coupler Hitch. (Part # MC3000) https://www.cuoffroad.com/product-lines/max-coupler-line/
*Converting all lights to 12V and swap the trailer plug to a standard 7 blade.
*Repacking and servicing the hubs.
These are fantastic camping or utility trailers that come with:
*Rear stabilizers for loading while unhooked from the truck or leveling while camping.
*Multiple tie downs mounted into the bed.
*Tarp loops all the way around the tub.
*All aluminum construction (except for draw bar and trailing arm axle which are Chromoly)
*Trailer is rated for 4200# GVW but uses 7000# Dexter brakes, bearings and torsion bar axle.
I am Including the brackets that attach the canvas bows and top. 4 of them are currently installed and holding a small custom rack.
This trailer has served me well and I’ve towed it across the country multiple times but I have no more use for it.
I’m looking for something smaller to tow behind my van and carry extra gear, water and fuel.
Registered and titled in California (This is not an easy process. Many DMV offices flat out refuse to register Mil surplus.)
Valued at $4000
