Well I have been planning to build another offroad trailer. Came across a smoking deal on a few M116a3 trailers. These are a great platform to start with and can be picked up on the cheap.


Crappiest part is the under the CARC paint the bodies are Galvanized and undercoated so the fumes are rough welding the new box on.


Best part was the trailers were 3 blocks from the house.


Got them back to the shop.







A few hours at the DMV and were all registered and legal.




Time to get to work and prepping them for the cargo boxes.




Starting to look like a trailer.





Tonneau fits great




Had to go pick up a third M116A3



And boom shes ready for paint. Cut the corners off for a cleaner look.







Pic of what the uncut corner looked like




Trailer worked great on a 8 hour drive to go pick up another set of one ton axles.

 

A few more random Pictures

 

That is awesome! Keep us up to date with the build and adventures with it!

I want/need one of those, now!

 

Will do. For the price I got these for it would be difficult to even build the axle and add 37s with beadlocks to a trailer. They pop up on ebay and the Govliquidation site alot.

 

Not much new to report, but trailer number two is coming along nicely. I should have it done by this weekend and painted. This one is an exact copy of the black one I posted earlier. We will be hauling both of these out to death valley for thanksgiving!

 

Took two of the trailers out for a beating in death valley. They worked flawless.

 

Just a couple of weeks ago you were playing in the snow in Vegas and now, look at you!!!

 

Looks great nice work. You should add some camo wrap on that trailer also.
I would love a trailer like that some day with a nice tent setup .

Jeep is on 40 inch toyos and the trailer is on 37 military goodyears
