*Edit: M416 Trailer*

Thanks to my wonderful wife, I am now an owner of a M416 trailer! Picked it up today as my valentine/birthday gift, threw on some magnetic tow lights and parked it in my garage.
I have been looking for one for a while now but just didnt find one worth buying.
Future plans for this is to get sandblasted and powder coated with a few add ons like a roof top tent, swap out axle just to start..

Nice find Benny! Do you plan on keeping the original tail lights? I would like to keep mine if I can find a way to wire them up to my OEM harness, or maybe throw in some LED's in the tail light housing.

Mine was already wired for 12 volts. It had a round 4 pin connector that I had to change to 4 flat pin to match the jeep. If it's I have the wiring colors and what they do written down at the house. I think all you have to do is change out the bulbs and your 12 volt ready.

 I run a 24 volt system. It is not even necessary to change out the bulbs from 24v, they will just not be as bright on a 12 volt system.  It is better to go with the LED lights for visibility, but keep in mind that many systems will not recognize LED lights for flashers as they do not draw enough current.

I found that running a readily available LED flasher relay solved the problem of flashers and draw requirements.
