New springs and shocks, wiring and lights, and I repaired the original lunette do I could keep the pintle hitch. I also had to fix the hacked tailgate mood.
Having some issues with the paint holding up over the original. And I've since moved on from the Sahara Tan JKU, so I'm going to go with a different color when I repaint it.
We have had this trailer in the family for several years. My dad has had it on the side of his home with dirt in it for about the last 3 years. I have used it on occasion to move stuff and to move dirt.
This part stalled me today. Super frustrated. I took a break and remembered seeing a post from another build that said there was on part that was reversed threaded. This was that part. I'll be back at it next week.
It's been a few weeks. Saturdays are very expensive real estate. They've been quite full. I got a few hours in today. Some of the bolts on this thing or just killing me. I didn't get as much done as I wanted to. I'm just hoping I'm taking enough pictures and remembering enough to be able to figure out how to put it all back together. And now I'm online looking for places to buy parts.
These trailers are a lot of fun to work on, i am working on getting one cleaned up and on the road right now. Here are a few links and info that may be helpful to you.
There are a few military salvage sellers on Ebay

lots of parts for decent prices.
I also have a list of commonly sought p/n's for wheel bearings, tires, shocks etc. too much to list here PM me if you'd like the info. Enjoy the build!
great post Xigiff! I've been looking for a M416 for a couple of years now top do the same thing with. Looking forward to seeing how your build is coming along.
good luck on your build. looking forward to your updates too
