Got a new trailer m416

[marius]

Well I decided to make the box bigger in the front.
Got two specter gas cans on the front.
End up with six watercans ,my girlfriend,LOVES to shower.
And since it dont look like a military trailer with big box decide to paint it.
Got a battrrie pack that I,m gonna keep in trailer.
The last 2 watercans and gascan holders was on a return clearans from amazon.
Did the wheel bearings and seals and put some napa socks on.
It run great behind the truck all loaded.
The tongue 3rd wheel ?? Was on sale at northen and I added a pneumatic tire to it
I know not everybody will like the BIG boxs but it works dor me

Great build thread love it.
Anyone have experience with military trailer auctions?
They have some M1102 trailers but I wonder that is too heavy to build off road platform with rtt. Do government liquidation bids go pretty high?

I've bought all mine through Government Liquidation. Some do go too high, you just have to wait on the right one.

The M1102 isn't too heavy ( Alum. ), but it's too wide for most trail type use. It was made for the Humvee. The M101A2 is alot better size for the trails and cheaper. I've paid between $250 and $350, but I had to travel to the different depots.

The M1102 and M1101's are alot newer and more improved, which draw a higher price tag. $500 to over $1000.

Good hunting.
