It was for sale in my forum. A (now) friend of mine had it for sale.

Handiest accessory for any Jeep I've owned.

How much was it going for? I would love to get one and want to know how much I am looking at spending...

Adverted for $700. There's some rust in the floor, little bit of bedliner will fix that though.

Sparky,
That looks exactly like the one we had. Same color too. We welded a ball hitch coupler on it and cut a tailgate in the rear panel. Unfortunately, we kept it at our beach property and now it's pretty much a pile of rust.

Anybody else?

M416s are common enough.

It (the fenders) matched the TJ well. Now that I have an early 5 again I need a Bantam civi or M100. That's why the PO sold it. Fenders were square not round, didn't match the rear wheelwell.

M100 I picked up over the Summer getting ready to haul my scrap parts to the recycler:

Previous owner removed the pintle and installed a ball hitch coupler and cut the back and made a tailgate. Kind of a hack job, so one of my projects is to redo that. Got mine off Ebay for a little under $400...good bit of surface rust, a couple of dents, and the booty fab. Drove out to Michigan to pick it up and brought the family along to make a little getaway out of it at The Ford, checked the bearings, put the old Jeep wheels I had laying around and some cheap slightly used MT's on it for the ride home (I have a set of Outlaw I's for it to match my CJ-7), picked up a hardtop & doors with it on the way back for a buddy, and made a nice cruise back at 75 mph most of the way. It comes in *very* handy for hauling crap that either won't fit in the back of either of my SUV's or that is too messy to put in them. I'm eyeballing a tarp for it on Ebay right now. Prices vary, but typically the M416's and Bantam's fetch top dollar with the M100 being the semi-ignored middle-child. A clean one will run you around $800, restored or excellent condition original will go north of $1k. Rough ones like mine typically go around $500 or so...still not quite sure how I got mine...I bid on it almost as a lark a day before the auction ended and there were a bunch of people watching it, but no one else bothered to bid.

have two trailers-- one os a pop up trailer that makes a very nice double bed, the other is a trash/pack mule trailer used for everything else.

Australian Treg Coupler-- far better than a pintle set up.

Looks familiar for some reason

I wish i never picked that up for you because now I want one real bad

So if I cant find one ill have to build one myself.

Just found this, Like new condition. I should find two-three people who want these and have them buy me one for getting it to Detroit, if only it was that easy.
