Sometimes the military changes their mind about not needing them, they cancel the auction and take them back to use. Be happy, Uncle Sam just saved a bunch of tax dollars to reuse the equipment.

I believe your wife put the cover on upside-down.

I say go camo to match the Blazer. Plenty of M416 trailers were used in the 1980s and 1990s when 3-color camo was made standard. The trailers lasted a bit longer than the M151 jeeps in military use, a few still trickle out here and there. 3-color camo would be fine for originality. Keep up...

I noticed two things: 1. The top row, some of the round-fender trailers do not have corner grab handles. This says to me many of them are most likely WWII era MBT trailers, and not M100. 2. Check out the first trailer in the M416 stack, I outlined the wheel in the pic attached. See the...

Aw, c'mon, no moonbase camping! Camp in the trees on the right as soon as you come in the gate! I believe there's even a picnic bench right there!

That's not waste - that's called being prepared! Waste is cutting one up for scrap...

+1 to what harleyhouse said - the A1 variant had the surge brakes on the tongue. Your trailer, Max, is an original M416. There is no way to determine the year from the data plate, UNLESS the month and year of manufacture is stamped into it. If the rear data plate is missing, or the date isn't...

I never liked the Gama Goat. They are ugly, look like a committee of short-bus occupants designed it, it's loud as ****, the heater has two settings - off and broil, it never really floats unless you pray a couple times before you try it out, not really great for mounting guns or other weapons...

Cool, thanks, Chris!

Sorry, will be in PA for Rausch Creek rally this weekend. Have fun...

It's an M416. Very handy, and collectable if restored.

SF-97 is the government form used for you to obtain a title with. Nice M715! Looks like most everything is there - put some Marvel Mystery Oil in the spark plug holes, let it soak overnight. The next day put some fresh gas and batteries in it, see what she does!

Why not use a M101 trailer bed for your purpose? The metal is thicker and it will match up to the axle position on the M880. Might be easier to find than a rust-free original bed.

Don't bob. Whenever I'm offroading with other MV owners, it always seems to be the bobbed trucks that end up getting stuck. Don't join the "short bus" community. Keep her un-neutered and 3-axles long.

Does anyone have a BBQ stove or grill I can borrow for a few meals between Friday night and Sunday morning? I don't have a lot to cook - just I have no stove at the moment...

Checked the weather for the weekend - Friday is partly cloudy, Saturday mostly cloudy, both days high around 54 and lows in the upper 30s. Dress warm and bring a thick sleeping bag!

52 tons of rolling death, baby!

Only a few more days to go!

I believe the 5,000 lb tow limit is WITH trailer brakes, and I know that his jeep and the air brakes of the trailer are not compatible. Hope it's not far, and he has good insurance.

He must have himself some SHINY SHOES!
