Had to read that twice.
Yep, matching paint might be the way to go. Great place to carry a couple of bikes. Looks great, mon.

If I use the trailer for shows or anything I'll just take the Yakima bars and mounts off. I can remove them in less than 5 minutes.

Thanks for the kind words guys

I wasn't sure if it was a typo, or your dry sense of humour. :lol:

OK My question for you is...where do you guys find these trailers? That would look badA$$ out here in vegas.

I found this one for sale on another Jeep forum. As it turns out, the seller is also a member of this forum. They're out there. You just have to keep an eye out and look in the right places. I had been looking for one for a while and this one came along in my price range and was only about 60 miles away. I've seen them sell for anywhere from $200 to $2000 depending on condition and location.

good to know. And btw, thanks for the new quest, lol. Just what I needed

Picked up some "J-cradles" today and mounted them up to the trailer. Lifting the kayaks onto the trailer is much better than lifting them on top of the XJ or KJ. Still leaves plenty of room for a pair of bikes and access to the stuff in the trailer. Can't wait to load this thing up and go camping.

Not exactly what the military had in mind for the M416, but it works well as a kayak carrier none the less. :lol:

Looks great!

Any idea what "your" total weight is for the trailer?

In order to get it licensed here in PA I had to have it weighed. It was winter time and it had about 2" of snow and ice in the bed of it. It weighed in at 630 pounds. At that time it also had 30"x9.5" tires on it. The Military NDT tires are a little lighter, but that was before I put the spare tire on, ammo can, and kayak rack system. I'd guess about 660-670 pounds as it is now (without the kayaks of course).
