It’s official, the next generation M416 style trailer has arrived. The classic military Jeep trailer has been taken to a whole new level, Fiberglass!

Image

We are now taking orders for our M-Series Dinoot tub kits! For additional information visit the M-Series Dinoot Tub Kits. Here is what the tailgate version looks like.

This shoot highlights different ways to build an M-Series Dinoot. On the left is one assembled with solid ends similar to an original military trailer. It has round M100 style fenders and is built on a slightly modified Harbor Freight frame. The one on the right is setup with a tailgate rear panel and in the early stages of being assembled on a welded frame.

This shoot shows how the panel corners go together on the M-Series M416 trailer tubs
Image

With the two side panels attached to the front panel, you slide the floor in
Image

Once the floor is in the rear panel gets attached
Image

Then add your tailgate, fenders and some lights, maybe even a Tent Unit

Here is a customer example of someone turning an Extended Dinoot tub kit into a camper. He started by building a hinged plywood hardcover, then had a set of drop down side curtains made.

Have revised & updated my online guide showing what is involved in building a DIY fiberglass Dinoot Trailer. It covers my Jeep trailer style J-Series and M416 trailer style M-Series. The guide is now in PDF format for easy printing, check it out at Overview Guide About Building a Dinoot Trailer
