What happened to the M416 Trailer? I have one with my roof top tent mounted on and wanted to see what mods you made. Your next trailer is what I am thinking of trying to do for a square drop trailer. Keep the videos coming.

I fully restored the frame and suspension but the tub was too far gone. I didn’t want to put the time into it that it required. I sold it as project for a very nice profit. Yeah this next trailer will be very similar to my first but with improvements. My plan is to put at least one video out, twice a month for each step of the build. Thank you for watching.

I’d love to see how you dealt with the side walls on your trailer. Just picked one up, and want to reinforce the rear, near where a tailgate was cut out. I’m afraid the sidewalls have too much flex for a rack and tent… please let us know… or at least let me know!!! Just subscribed! Thanks for the videos.
@Tail_Dragger
@Tail_Dragger 4 ай бұрын
My rear panel was cut out by the previous owner and the side walls had a ton of flex. I bought a reproduction tailgate and frame for a Willy’s Jeep. Although I sold the project before I installed it, I’ve seen it done and it takes all the flex away and stiffens it enough for a RTT rack.
