Thanks,

Looks homade to me. Never seen anything like it. (no tail lights, safety chains etc.)

It looks like a stripped down M100 trailer but it's not. I have never see anything like it. I vote for home made.

Thanks for the nice compliment. We love our FJ60s around here!

As for the trailer; I don't think it's home built, just looks to well engineered. The axle is a sort of torsion bar with twin horizontal coil springs, there are faint USMC markings on the tool box, the land gear fits perfectly, etc. The telescoping pintle arm has three positions. It looks like maybe there was a tank (air or other) mounted on it (perhaps a compressor?).

Out house trailer, missing the out house.

Hmmm... ok then I change my vote to M3A4 trailer. But it's been stripped.

Wasn't the M3A4 more of a hand cart with a fixed position axle? This is built for some weight with the coil spring set up.

Man, it's just so tiny. It's gotta be a hand cart. But if it's not a newer M34A4 then I'm lost.

Thats NOT an M3A4 handcart.

I seem to recall seeing something like that with 24v booster on it some years back.

Not homemade. Had one like it years ago with a 3KW mounted on it. Sold @ 2 years ago.

Thanks for the great pictures and info JB. I wonder what else they were fitted with? This one seems to have different deck mounts than yours did.

Was hard to focus on the trailer, when my attention was drawn to the FJ. Very nice.

Thanks again for the nice compliments on my FJ. I'm building another right now with a 5.7 Vortec/ 4L60E combo. I have an M416 trailer that will go behind that FJ60.
