Original plan was Corey and I build a custom one off trailer, well there just isn't enough time in the day. So I found a steal of a deal on this '55 M416 locally so we will customize this and add all the final touches to make it more overland specific.
Original restorer was a local military man that restored it from the frame up as well as added all the extras and custom fab work. He kept all the original badges and re installed them however it is titled and registered in CO as a '99 homemade trailer. It was bought from him and it was used a total of 3 times. The shell is solid and rhino-lined (crappy job) and a custom steel cap and roof rack was added. The tongue was elongated and lowered and he added a home made battery box out of an military surplus container. There are also other various surplus containers bolted to the tongue for extra storage. He added a homemade solar panel that charges the dual, in-line red tops that are in the box. I plan on selling the RTT as it won't be ideal for my application. Here are the features and plans along with some current pics.

Future Plans (TBD):
