[NW-ZJ-SCOTT]

I'll be in dallas friday morning. (florida to oregon)

[SWAMPMAN]

GOOD SCORE!!

 

[jakeWI]

looks great. cant believe what you said about the floating with a 500# load. thats awesome.

 

[KSXJ]

I would like to know where that small propane tank came from...

 

[XJBANKER]

Home Depot has them they are 11lbs and about $55.00

 

[jakeWI]

ive seen those small tanks from time to time in stores. especially once ice fishing comes around.

 

[joe_peters]

I've got one of those, worked great for years until it had to have a new "safety device" valve installed--only works on very low flow equipment now, anything high flow and it thinks its broken and cuts off the propane. Stupid laws.

 

[RedHeep]

How much different is the size of the 416 compared to a 101?

I've got 101's all over the place here, between Ft. Bragg and Camp Lejeune, for $150.

 

[OverlandZJ]

Your probably referring to the American 3/4 ton M101, unlike SWAMPMANS Canadian 1/4 ton M101.

Heres the dimensions. Most consider it a bit big and heavy for a midsized SUV.

Ouch. 1340 empty.

Well, if somebody wants one, I know where they all are.

 

[BenDiesel]

[DrMoab]

No but it's gone. Sold it a couple of days ago.

 

[LostSoul]

No but it's gone. Sold it a couple of days ago.

:confused1 that was fast

 

[Boatwrench]

Ryan,

Were those trailers craigslist finds or do you have some other method?

 

[DrMoab]

I found the first one on a local classified forum that is really popular in utah. KSL.com

The second one I found in the for sale section of IH8MUD.com

 

[CherBear]

How much do one of these go for?

 

[joe_peters]

How much do one of these go for?

Back in the mid-late 80s these were going for $350-$500, palletized, depending on condition.

Now, pretty much whatever the seller wants.

This company has some, condition varies: http://www.surpluscity.com/trailers.htm

[GSequoia]

I've always wondered why the military never had those made with a functional tail gate..... I suppose boxed up supplies and ammo and what not were the main cargo, probably never dirt, rock or other cargo that would need to be shoveled/dumped out........ :dunno:

There is no tailgate for floatation. Filled to the rated 500 lb capacity the trailer will float across a rover (with drain plugs closed, of course). I don't really mind the lack of a tailgate for mine but one day I might make an adventure body for it (the tub is bolted onto an M416, not welded on like an M100).

I want those pics!



Two questions Ryan...

Did you ever determine if it was the M416B for the Mighty Mite or not?

Did you notice any change in fuel economy after pulling the RTT off the Jeep and putting it on the Adventure416?
