What kind of trailer are these? Super jealous of both setups

The bottom one looks like a modified M416 military trailer

Yeah, @malteserunner has a 416. Love those trailers but they're hard to find in decent condition.

Mine is a similar size to a M416 (4x6 box) but the trailer is one I built from the ground up back in 2008. It's been through some minor changes since the initial build but has been an awesome thing to have for some of our trips. There's a build thread in the trailer section if you're interested in looking at it.

Mine's a Stevens M416B1 built in 1965. I picked it up in pretty rough condition cosmetically, but not rusted out. It's getting closer to where I want it.

Pulled the heat shield and got the AC drain all the way thru the grommet. Before it would half drain outside and a little inside on the floor. Nice to have dry carpet again.

Front seat swap turned into a carpet pull/clean and stereo re-wire since powered sub won’t fit under new Planted seat bracket.
Totally fell victim to the “while you were in there” trap!
Also,if you wanna know how dirty your carpet really is, look at the underside!

Happy 4th of July!!
I finally cleaned up my recovery points and remounted. They are 1/4” bent plate.
Through-bolted with sleeves. Grade 8 hardware.

If you really wanna be grossed out pressure wash it and watch the soda like water runoff.

Nice job btw.

Lil Blue Ridge Parkway Land Cruising. A dip in the river and a few cast for good measure.

Finished installing my 2" OME suspension. What a difference

Great looking rig! Is it a collectors edition or did you add the molding? If the latter, mind if I ask where you got them?

Thanks .Haven't added any molding. Maybe the last owner did - that i don't know. How do i figure out if it's a collectors edition, if i may ask?

Took me nearly 10 years to get around to it, but I finally took off the wood dash trim. Why didn’t I do this sooner?!

I absolutely HATE the wood trim... Removing it instantly makes the truck feel 10 years newer and infinitely cleaner.

Breaking in the newly required front plate with some bug guts, mud, cow pies and narrow sagebrush trails. Making some new friends out of the SW Montana rivers, too.

What kinda mount did you use for your license plate - the included ARB one?

Curious about this too. I used the ARB inclued one too and it blocked so much air from the radiator i've been running no plate.

I used this guy: Tuff Stuff® Stainless Roller Fairlead Flip-up License Plate Bracket

The fairlead bolts slide through the spring-loaded part of the bracklet, flips up when using the winch.

Thanks that looks like a good solution and better plate location for sure.

A couple of Quick Fists work well also.
