    Hotrodsonny's M416 Overland Trailer Build.

    Welded on some spacer blocks for the tension latches for the top, they have a locking latch so the latches will not come un done on the trail. Worked out nice!

    Hotrodsonny's M416 Overland Trailer Build.

    Lots done. I'm tired...lol. Mounted new aluminum top and a handle on the lift side, installed a Jerry can on the front with a small military storage box above it, mounted an axe on the body, a fire extinguisher on the fender and a shoval on the lid. Mounted a lockable hasp for security and made...

    Hotrodsonny's M416 Overland Trailer Build.

    Oh and if you get the plastic Scepter Jerry cans remember to get the Scepter cap wrench as it is hard to get a good seal when tightening it by hand and once you do, getting the cap off without the wrench is a painful experience, The cheapest I found a darn cap wrench is $29.95 which seems a...

    Hotrodsonny's M416 Overland Trailer Build.

    I also tried one of the Scepter Jerry Can Mods, where you attach a hose bib and a Schrader valve to the cap so you can pressurize the can and use it as a shower. I guess it works good but truthfully when the sides of the can bulge outward from the air pressure it makes me a little nervous, I may...

    Hotrodsonny's M416 Overland Trailer Build.

    I tried installing full size Jerry cans and while I got them to fit, they were just to closed to the edge and I could see them getting hit on trees and rocks in tight situations, then I tried laying them down and I just didn't like the look, so I ordered two of the 10 liter half sized jerry cans...

    Hotrodsonny's M416 Overland Trailer Build.

    They are all over the board as for price, I just passed one up for $350 but the floor was completely rusted out and it was starting to crawl up the sides. I have also noticed it depends on the area you live in, some places like here on the west coast they want a premium price where as some...

    Hotrodsonny's M416 Overland Trailer Build.

    To start off, I cut off the tail light mounts and welded them towards the rear and lower so I could use the area for a propane tank mount, I mounted the Propane tank (Looks Nice) The Propane bracket was ordered from Amazon- Power Tank BKT-2285 Propane Power Bracket for 8" diamater Propane...

    I decided to build this M416 trailer into an Overland Trailer, it came to me in real nice condition including a new axle with electric brakes, rear bumper, tailgate mod, bed liner and updated electrical. I am going to document the build to possibly give others some ideas should they want to...

    Which one do I keep to build into an overland trailer?

    OK ….so here is what I did, I started working on the M416 so I guess that is the one I will keep, it's just to cool, the other trailer is nice but how can I not love an original 1967 M416? I relocated the trailer's brake lights so I can mount the propane bottle setup there, I also cut off one...
