SOLD - Frame-Off Restored M416 Trailer (Independent Airbag Suspension, Kitchen, RTT)
SOLD
Hi guys,
I built this because "I always wanted one" and not really because I need it (though I really enjoyed this trailer and I really enjoyed building it). I can probably ship it nationwide for about $800 to $1000.
No expense was spared in the build and I probably have about 200 hours I figure (6 months with regular work) in its construction. EDIT: Price Drop: $4700 Trailer only, $5900 with ARB Tent. I also have a lead on a brand new Mombasa tent for $500 that could also work...
Let me know if you have any questions. Located in Park City, Utah (20 minutes east of Salt Lake City). Asking $6500 with the ARB tent or $5200 without. Pretty firm on price. Here is the complete build thread here on the Expedition Portal. EDIT Price Drop $4700 Trailer Only, $5900 with ARB Tent. I also have a lead on a possibly Mombasa tent for $500.

- Frame off sandblast and restoration
- Tongue extended 18"
- Lid with ladder rack in frame design to secure 6 military cans (plastic or metal, fuel or water)
- Slide out kitchen drawer, food storage, cooking surface
- Paint is "ZeroRust" which is similar to POR-15 buy better cosmetics and a rust bonding paint that is what the USMC uses for their tan drab. Tan body, black frame and fenders.
- ARB Simpson II Roof Top Tent mounted on Thule cross bars
- Aluminum Rims, BFG 33 x 10.5 All Terrains
- Built extremely tough and heavy duty. It has also been trail tested and performed flawlessly. The cross member where the arms mount is a little tweaked due to its thin metal after heavy off-roading so I am about to cut it out and put in a new crossmember with thicker steel and I will re-align with a laser.
- Fenders widened by 2"
- Re-use and design using the factory military turn signals, which were restored.
- Complete frame off restoration including new wiring
- 20 Cal Ammo Can used as electrical center box and storage. "Smart" wiring that uses a plug extension that adapts to any 7 pole plug.
- Trailer is completely locking using its own matching key (several copies of original factory lock keys included)
- Trailer tows perfectly and at all speeds, on or off road. The technique to towing this trailer is "pretend its not there" and it will literally "follow" you anywhere. I found it matched the track of my Toyota perfectly which made it excellent for off road.
