I bought this M416 based trailer off another fellow Jeep'er a few years ago, and I had the trailer shipped 3200 miles out from Illinois to Arizona. It is a very nicely custom built trailer, based on the military M416 dimensions, and I've made some other modifications myself. Previous owner had a 1 ton axle on it, but at my request he installed a 3500 lb. axle before it was shipped to me. I have since installed electronic brakes, re-did the wiring, added some RaceDeck flooring, and installed new wheel bearings. Also installed were new 17" ProComp wheels and tires that match my Jeep (which is also for sale). I was planning to move these new wheels and tires to my Jeep, as I'd like to have more sidewall rubber on the Rubicon, but if you purchase the trailer at full asking price, you will receive the trailer with the new 17" wheels and tires as pictured. The trailer has a side-hinged top panel, with hydraulic strut assist. Mounted on top is a 3 man roof-top tent. There is a 19 gallon fresh water tank on the front bulkhead (with hose bib and valve), and a plastic tongue box on the front rails. I've installed a nice wire junction box in there also, as I was planning to add two or four LED lights around the perimeter of the trailer, a full sized marine battery, and solar charging panel...I just never got around to it - but the junction box is there ready to go. There is a shovel mount on one side, and a custom bolt-on Hi-Lift mount on the other side. Approximate weight is about 600 pounds empty, it's 69" wide from tire sidewall to sidewall, about 125" long, and at least 60" tall. Included is a 360° swivel hitch made by Adventure Trailers. This hitch is their "Max Coupler" and it's is a serious piece of hardware - 2"x2" Class III hitch, no cheesy ball hitches here. The trailer could be spinning cartwheels behind your tow vehicle, but would not twist your vehicle with it. Also, it allows extreme articulation angles, both side to side and up and down. I've upgraded the latches on the top tie downs, and installed some nice tight fitting pad locks. I've tried tumbler locks, round locks, but finally, the shanks on the current locks are perfect and don't bounce around. Wiring is a heavy duty 7 conductor setup, made to hook up to the 7 pin connection on my Jeep. So far, just the brake/tail lights and the brakes are wired up. I have a license plate light, but haven't installed it. Heavy coated wire safety lines latch to your bumper. The tent is in great shape, but we've only used it once to be honest. The original owner and builder of the trailer did some family outings with it; mom, dad and small child in tent, and older kid slept in the trailer down below. With the 35" tires on it, it has quite a bit more ground clearance than the Jeep! This trailer gets looks where ever you go, but it really is a great piece of hardware too. It's ready for your modifications/paint, or just use it as-is. It's ready for the trail. I've just got too many other projects right now, so the Jeep and Trailer need to go to a good home. Buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping. I think it cost me about $800 to ship it across the country, for your reference. Please let me know if you have any further questions!
