Thanks for the pics of the brackets. That is very helpful! I did not know that those other brackets were part of the kit. I could make drawings for those also if they are in my Jeep. I agree....would you mind posting the instructions? Who is JWjeep? Is that a member here or a store...

These are the brackets that are on my CJ8. It takes two (2) of each bracket per bumper. Are these the right ones? I made drawings of these and started getting quotes. So far the first quotes gives the pricing as follows: - $80.00/set plus shipping if we buy enough for 10 Jeeps. - $65.00/set...

OE Rear Step Bumper Brackets I started a new thread for the mounting brackets.

CBRogers, I am heavily considering buying a welder but I am holding off until I do a little design on the trailer. I am considering a Lincoln Electric 175 HD from The Home Depot or a Millermatic 211 from Praxair. The plan is to use the swiss cheese tub as my practice run. If it comes out...

Chassis I finally got some time to quickly check the trailer chassis. As I mentioned, the pictures revealed the truth, the chassis is bowed front to back. I will try and take pictures and measurements later to post them. Does any one have any suggestions on a good way to fix this?

Wood side rails If memory serves me right, I believe there used to be a post here that had all the dimensions of the side wood rails.:shrug: If not do a google search.

Blasting cost At the time, I paid $150.00 to sand blast everything but the tub. The other day I went to the sandblaster place to get a price for blasting the bed once fixed and that will be around $100.00. I am sure that if would have taken everything at the same time it would have been less...

Thanks! And Yes! I have gone to the expeditionportal site and many other sites on the internet regarding the M416 and the M100 trailers. On your project I suggest that you take the trailer completely apart and have it sand blasted. It is worth the money and/or effort. Thats what I did with...

M416 Trailer Tub Here is the next big task of this rebuild. At this point I am trying to define the direction of the trailer tub rebuild. In my non expert opinion the tub is in pretty bad shape and/or gone. I went to a couple of local "restoration" body shops but neither wanted to work on...

Reading other cool rebuild threads like the Retro Wrangler, Gaucho, Eric's Rebuild,.... have inspired me to start this thread. This might not be as cool and might take a long time as I don't have the skills that all of you have but here we go. I bought this M416 trailer in 2004 and used it...

Not sure if applicable but have you considered this? On my TJ I put Rubicon axles, kept the NP231 and used Rubicon driveshafts. I did not change the any of the yokes. Instead I used a 1330/1310 U-joint (Dana Spicer p/n 5-134X) in the rear axle to driveshaft connection. In the front...

Body mount - frame side Since I am not ready for a frame off resto nor have the time right now.... Where can I buy the body mount? This is so I can remove he old one from the frame and weld a new one.

Shocks According to RE their Monotube shocks, RXJ508, that I have in the Jeep can be mounted with the shaft up or down. That's what says in the instructions and that is what they said when I called them. Their twin tube shocks are sensitive to orientation. However, if there is a reason why...

Thanks everyone for the input on the rear shackles. What you saw is what was shipped with the kit. Not sure if it was an error from their part or that is what they are shipping now. Carl, thanks for the spacial orientation, that really helped. So to summarize that, you are saying keep the...

Is this installed correctly? Here is the rear shackle that I have (1st pic). It also measures 5". Is it installed correctly? Also, the last pic shows the front brake line. Is there a better way to route that line?

I got the RE monotube shocks (SK010404RXJ).

Thanks for the picture. It seems like RE shipped boomerang shackles for a YJ with the lift. I am not sure what to expect, but the ride seems more bouncy that I expected. I will try and post a pic tonight of what I have. In the mean time, would you mind measuring the distance between the...

I just install the lift this weekend but I have a couple of questions. Can someone with the RE 4.5 inch lift please post a picture of the rear shackle arrangement (that came with the kit)? I am not sure if I was given the correct shackles and/or if I install them correctly. A picture is worth...

Rear bumper brackets I ordered a bumber too. How many people are interested in the brackets? I have the brackets on my Scrambler. I am willing to make a drawing if there is interest. I will also consider having the brackets made and selling for cost plus shipping. I would have to figure...
