My M416 Overhaul

[weva09con]

I have been working on this for awhile but it is finally coming together.

 

[weva09con]

Painting wheels this week and hopefully have RTT on soon. Have onboard water and hot shower setup for it. Have a ton of plans for this thing. Color is Jeep Dune.

Very nice work. When you did the spring over, did you retain the e-brake? How did you end up doing that to make it work? How much lift/change did you get from that?

Thanks.

Very nice looking trailer

Looking good! Very clean now. I can't wait to see the build up.

Is that amber reflector in the right spot? I'm just asking because I thought amber was supposed to go in the front. Just checking.

 

[weva09con]

Thanks for the compliments all! Gained quite a bit of lift with the spring over. I am retaining the parking brake just still working the bugs out on it. As far as the amber reflector I am not 100% sure myself. Was curious of that when installing them. Wheels are at the sandblaster now. Getting excited to use this extra money pit. Lol

AMBER front, RED rear!

Anyone used a Thule mount for a RTT on these trailers?

I used Yakima, Thule would work well too.

But remember if mounting a RTT, Thule has square bars and most mounting hardware is made for square bars. Yak racks are round. Unless something has changed

Wheels are blasted and painted. New tubes in the tires. Also got a new data plate just gotta get it engraved. Hopefully have some pics this weekend. Keeping fingers crossed to be using it by Memorial Day weekend.

Got a Thule on mine and works great. You can see it on my build thread under signature. Your trailer looks great.

 

[weva09con]

Got the data plate done now gotta put it on. Does anyone have an idea what size rivets those are? Thanks in advance!

I'm about to rivet my new data plate too. Wasn't sure what size, so I got the biggest ones at Lowe's. Any ideas before I try these? I've never used a pop-riveter before.
