Looking for light trailer for my LC 94, not going hard core expeditions, some hunting , light trails with family. Found this one locally ,guy wants 750$ for it , what do you think?, I looked for CAN military ones and they hard to find and cost a lot,

looks like a very good deal. Seems well done, with many desirable features and ready to go.
I'd jump on it.
Tell me where it is?

That what i thought , thank you e9999

actually, if the axle is stout and the tongue is strong, that probably would qualify or come close to qualify as a hardcore expedition trailer I would think, unless you have to carry the kitchen sink and all with you. I have a little guy like that, and the smaller size is really a pleasure on the rougher trails.
I would check / possibly modify a couple of things though:
- looks like the lunette is non-swiveling, that's not the best IMHO, unless you have a swiveling pintle of course
- the can holders are nice to have, however those look like they could be a bit too close to the lunette if you have a wide rig, in case of jacknifing you may hit the truck earlier than you'd like
but if those are an issue, it'd be easy to fix.
I'd still buy it

That looks like a really good deal at $750! It looks like it is SOA, if you could I would suggest flipping it to SUA.
Would be a little more stable, and no worries about ground clearance. Looks like a lot of thought went into that one
though.

I would look at the tongue tube. Is it just stabbed on the front of the frame, or it is continuous thru or under (under being preferable) to at least the first cross-member?

For such a little thing if leaf springs they should show in the pics, and they don't. What is the suspension?

I would look at the height of the lunette, Looks really high like it was made to fit a lifted tow vehicle. Unless you hitch is that high your trailer is going to low in the front and high in the back. Also if you don't need the height the high sides are going to be harder to get stuff out of the front. I have a stock M416 and won't want the sides any higher. Advantage of the military trailers is it's hard to hurt them.

the tongue height is not a big issue IMO. You can easily get an adjustable height pintle mount. Plus if you do something with the lunette, you could adjust it lower at the same time.
Beefy D rings for sure on the side. Nice.

Here's a start these are showing up daily in So Cal and reasonable price as well. Guy in Sylmar has 5 at last count prices are reasonable.

Not 2nd guessing your decision but why did you go this route. The other trailer was already halfway there.
