Here are some pictures i took of mine:

Very nice. Mine had the green mildew like yours so I took it to a local car wash and for $4 it shined up like new.

The way the weather and humidity are down here it is futile to wash the mildew off.

Does anyone know if these trailers have the VIN anywhere on the frame? I am thinking of swapping it with another member that has a CAMO one and it would be easier to swap the data tags than all the paperwork.

I have not seen any numbers on the frames while inspecting them, other than the VIN #'s on the plate on the tongue. Swapping plates, I know nothing!

Goldneagle, some of mine have the serial number on the top of the front yoke plate ,passenger side. Deeply engraved at the factory that matches the mfg. ser. num. on the data plate.

Nice Jeep and trailer!

Did you do any mods to the lighting when you recovered it?

I have a 2014 JKURX with a 4" lift running 37" MTRKs and will pickup our M1101 this or next week.

I know I won't have an issue with pintle height, just worried about the lights... planning on connecting a 7-way into the junction box on the trailer and removing the mil-spec trailer cable completely.

On mine I just cut the mil connector off and put the 7-way end on it, cost $9. Then the swap to 12v bulbs. If your doing it in daylight, you can get away with just the lights in the tail to get you home.
I got a 10 pack of #97 LED bulbs to replace the marker lights (need 9 total) and used two regular #97 for tail and #1156 turn/stop lights. I still need to get some more #97 to convert my "black out" lights into reverse lights, but its not mandatory, just something I want to do.
Two options for recovery.
1) convert on site. Bulbs, 7-way end, and some labor and your on your way home.
2) strap on a set of temp trailer lights and drive home. Do the real work at home in comfort with no stress.

They are very nice trailers if you don't mind the height. Three of them were recovered this past summer out of Georgia by me for an average price of $500.00 each out the door except for the green one with bows & cover. They are as new & barely used if @ all, but you do have to watch for tight bearings or dragging brakes before beginning a lengthy recovery @ highway speeds. The pintle was left as is, since my Deuce is what I haul them with mostly. If on ocassion, I need something hauled with the Toyota, a pintle receiver hitch works with a lighting connector wired into the junction box. If a deal comes up, I might buy another one...

Thanks for the references and info!

Will use this in more ways than one.

Sounds mighty ILLEGAL , and not very wise to post on a internet forum.

After you posted that you found a CD behind the landing leg foot, I went home & looked behind the first trailer I bought in Atlanta, landing leg foot & there was a CD-rom in a white plastic bubble pack. It is titled TM 9-2330-392-14&P / TO 36A11-5-252-1. Thanks for the tip!

I picked up my second m1101 today. A big thanks to Ron in GA for helping me lift the tongue off the ground. The truck center was having fork lift problems so we had to use man power to hook it up.

This trailer is just as nice as the camo one. I can't believe how nice these are. I even found a CD-rom behind the support legs that appears to have a manual on it. The legs have never been removed from the trailer so the foam shipping material was holding up the cd and some paperwork.

I have Ron the cd, so maybe he'll post what's on it.
