AluCab is the Rolls Royce, but Andy's right, Foxwing does what you want.

If you want fast and usable Alu Cab. I have never regretted paying the money for it but I would only run it with a front runner rack due to its weight like 80 lbs.
If you have another rack go foxwing.

Looks like a winner. Has a dexter axle under it but comes with stock axle/wheels too.

For the pig hauler....
A nice add
I guess I better start letting some of this stuff go. This is a pretty solid M416. I have only repacked the bearings and wire wheeled the interior of the tub and put a coating of Herculiner in it. I’ve only used it to haul a few loads of firewood in and it pulls just great. PM me if you are looking for one. If I gotta list a price I’ll say $1000 OBO. It would bring more on one of the Facebook pages but I’d rather see one of you guys get it. PM me if you are interested.

Solid trailer.
This is me getting ready for the SCC in October. When I tow the piggie.
Considering getting my M416 sand/media blasted. I was originally just going to treat the rust spots, scuff and roll on some OD green. But there are so many rust spots, including the entire inside...
Plan is to completely dismantle and deal with the small parts myself. The body and larger frame parts would be blasted. Etching primer sprayed by the blaster would be a big plus.
Anyone else need some blasting? Maybe we could get a volume deal?

Rent a blaster.
If you do rent a blaster only use Black Beauty sand. No silica sand, it’s like asbestos. Black Beauty runs better too.
I bought one of the harbor freight pressure sand blasters a few years ago for like $200. It works pretty good. I made a backstop out of ply wood to collect the media so I could reuse it.

I also have a front runner drop down table new in box. Didn’t work for what I wanted. Runs $126 plus shipping will take $100 in box with all hardware.
Picked up a m416 trailer from @pmccraney this past weekend. Leaving for Colorado in 10 days and wanted a lid for the trailer.
Drew up a simple lid to be plasma cut and bent out of 18ga sheet metal on 1” square tube frame.

Are you going to put tent on lid?
It’s SO much easier to deal with on the trailer than on the roof.

Yes, the tent will be bolted to the frame of the lid.
Hinge on the side or end?
Tongue end
Got the lid to the trailer most of the way finished up, all that is left it to finish the seam welds and install the hinges, latches, and gas struts. Made this one out of 16gauge sheet metal and 1x2 tubing welded to a 1-1/2”x 1-1/2” angle iron frame, weighs 140lbs approximately. Once I see how well it works I may remake it in an aluminum.
Next project on is to make the roof rack to mount the tent.
