Will a M416 wheel fit on a M100?
I thought there were some differences. Did Louis try to fit one?

No, mine are 16"
It's a 16, I mistyped that.
However, as Lash said, the backspace is different M100 and M416
You need to find a M100 wheel Jerry. Actually find 2, Lou needs one

3 because I want a spare for both my 80 and 100. Stealing your idea of a spare under each @wrgrog since you put my face on social media. I may have warrants
While we're talking spares, I'm trying to figure the best way to mount a spare underneath. If anyone has a spare winch or another idea...
I have a spare 80 winch don't know if it's going to work on a 100
I put mine under the front end using an old spare tire strap mount that we robbed off the Grand Wagoneer.
Minimal welding and drilling made it happen.

It's for the trailer, not my 100. Does it bolt on or was it welded?
It bolts on
One side of the strap is hinged and the other has a bolt-through-eyelet bracket. I can tighten up the bolt enough that it squeezes the sidewall of the spare a bit. The hump in the middle really just helps center it when mounting/unmounting the spare. When it was still on the G.Wagoneer it had a j-hook and center cap that held the spare onto the strap - I ditched those.
Mine is exact opposite of Rick's. I put it under the rear to offset the weight of my water and propane.
I used a winch from my 100. It uses a cable instead of a chain.

This one was interesting with built in tailgate until I found out it was 2600 lbs. Even after removing the extra junk and swapping about a lighter axle I'm guessing it would be still heavy with that stout box.

Will you bring it to the next meeting?
No problem
