So since I like making build threads to keep up with stuff, I figured I start one for our little camp trailer.
Erin picked this up from a guy from Athens a few weeks ago. The plan was to sell the other 2 basket cases we had (one left yesterday) and then make this one into our camp trailer.
No idea what year it is, but it is a M416A. I've since learned that the "A" is due to the trailer having a surge brake on it. The back has been cut out and turned into a drop tailgate. The body has been cleaned up and painted. The fenders were pulled and still need cleaning up and painting.
Since the tailgate is alread off, I'm going to take the opportunity to make a single side swing. I picked up some Samurai rear tailgate hinges to use for the swing out.
We have a box of Raptor liner to spray the inside with and I have 6 rail brackets to mount along the sides.
Plan is to throw a FrontRunner rack on it and put the RTT on it. New tires, check and repack or replace the bearings, add and wire some lights and add some leveling Jack's. After that we will eventually lengthen the tounge and then work on a camp kitchen and whatever else catches our fancy.
