Title: Anyone ever seen a trailer like this??
Post by: cjgolfer7 on September 27, 2014, 11:41:41 AM: Picked this up a while ago and just got it in my possession. Have/had intentions of making a camping/expedition trailer out of it. Really solid. Its apparently and old army trailer but I've never seen one like it. Not to say I'm some sort of military trailer expert. But feel like my eyeballs have seen a lot.. Anyone ever seen one like it?

Post by: cjgolfer7 on September 27, 2014, 12:28:24 PM: Yeah its pretty solid platform. I may pass it along because I see it sitting in this garage for a while. Its a really cool trailer, possibilities are endless.

Post by: tcdawg on October 16, 2014, 06:54:19 PM: Any idea how much it weighs? Trailer brakes?
Where is it located?
Title: Re: Anyone ever seen a trailer like this??
Post by: cjgolfer7 on October 16, 2014, 08:25:47 PM: Trailer is currently in savannah ga but willing to meet anywhere. No trailer brakes, and its not that bad i can pick the tounge up amd move it around easily. My cherokee didnt even know it was there.

Post by: clark123456 on October 19, 2014, 07:14:17 PM: I wonder if that was poundage, not cost.
Title: Re: Anyone ever seen a trailer like this??
Post by: cjgolfer7 on October 19, 2014, 07:48:17 PM: I highly doubt the boxes added close to 400lbs over the original weight of the 416. And make an offer.. your hard pressed to find a nice 416 for under 800 dollars much less one this unique. The trailer isnt that heavy. I can pick it up of the ground and trust me my tall skinny 165lb ass isn't that strong by any means hah.

Post by: frenchlayer on October 19, 2014, 10:04:49 PM: It'll need a new lunette welded on if anyone wants to use this with a jeep. Plus it looks like it's missing the hand brake assembly as well. Still a nice trailer, but will need work to use off-road

Post by: cjgolfer7 on October 20, 2014, 08:50:27 AM: With the hitch thats provided the lunette is set perfect. I pulled it with my Cherokee and it sits and rides perfect. If I kept the trailer I was going to cut the lunette and bottom triangular section off and put a lock and roll trailer hitch on it. Yes there is no hand brake. Still an extremely solid trailer. Ill snap a pic behind my jeep this am. No work to go off road unless youd like to change the hitch. Still gets the job done.

Post by: cjgolfer7 on October 21, 2014, 11:41:36 AM: To answer the number one question. Bottom dollar is $750. Someone give it a good home. Or ill take it and put it back in storage in a couple days.
Title: Re: Anyone ever seen a trailer like this??
Post by: cjgolfer7 on October 21, 2014, 01:10:30 PM: Sold

Title: Re: Anyone ever seen a trailer like this??
Post by: cjgolfer7 on October 21, 2014, 02:10:32 PM: Naw old timer in beaufort sc. Says in 1965 the military put service beds on ford pickups and he thinks this is one and is going to rip it apart for his truck. Who knows not necessarily the home I wanted it to go to. But its a home other than my storage non the less.

Post by: BigMike on October 21, 2014, 02:32:43 PM: Actually I'm researching a M1101 offroad camping trailer build and saw one similar online during my search.
Title: Re: Anyone ever seen a trailer like this??
Post by: cjgolfer7 on October 21, 2014, 03:45:01 PM: Oh yeah.. I'd like to see it. If you can find the link post it up.

Title: Re: Anyone ever seen a trailer like this??
Post by: cjgolfer7 on October 21, 2014, 08:11:07 PM: Not the same but similar. I was looking for it and never found it. It was a cool trailer. I just dont have the funds to build it and hated seeing it sit.
