Interesting... I don't know nearly enough about trailers, having only towed one once, with my old M38A1. I want to find one in decent condition and at a decent price, to haul all my crap around to shows behind my camo TJ. I don't mind doing paint and rewiring, but major repairs are out of the question as I don't have anyplace to work on it. Pretty much any "jeep trailer" from WW2 to present will do, if it's intact. Fascinating stuff though, Rob, thanks! Reckon you CAN teach an old dog new tricks...

I'll measure my M151A2 when I get home.
I have a rough Unmolested but restorable M416 waiting for some spare time. As Rob mentioned, aside from a few details it's close to an M100. I have been debating buying rounded fenders for it to get the M100 look. Only problem then is the hubs which are noticably different. That being said it's nice being able to run all the same tire wheel combination between the prime mover and trailer. Another option with an Iltis trailer would be to swap in am M100 axle complete in order to get past that odd metric lug pattern. The 1/4 tons all have 5-5.5" lug patterns (except the iltis). Unfortunately your TJ will have 5-4.5" lug pattern, so if you wanted matching wheels it would require the machining Rob mentioned. Scotty

Naw, I wouldn't put the same wheels/tyres on it anyway, as I have deep dish 15" aluminium alloy wheels and 32" tyres. I'm not spending that kind of money on the trailer! 7.00x16 NDCCs will be fine for the limited use this will get.
