Google "dealer magnetic license plate mount"... Pop it on when running, lock it up when parked.

eBay, I'd did an axle conversion on mine and sold my wheels and tires on eBay.

The angles don't quite match up, it's entirely coincidental. They were originally marketed as boxes to go under semi-trailers to store chains and such, which is why they open from the side not the top, then this seller figured out they could sell them as pickup truck tool boxes. From their...

Update on the tool boxes... The seller is very hard to work with and seems inept. I ordered two boxes, they sent four. I left two in the box and contacted the seller who had Fed-Ex come pick the extra ones up. Then I installed the remaining two boxes and found that the lock is not functional...

Bought the tool boxes on eBay. The seller is called gold3288gold, T-Motorsports.

Metternacht, I don't blame you - those things are highly over rated, and as Ripcord said, WAY over priced.

RTT? We want to convert the axle to match the tow vehicle hubs (once the tread on these new mil-spec tires needs replacing), and when that happens we'll blast the whole thing, powder coat the chassis, and paint/line the tub. Then it should be set for another 40 years of service. From the...

Ripcord, fair enough on tents, I was talking about those folding expedition tents that some folks permanently mount to trailers like this. We have a canvas wall tent and now with two young kids there's no room for it and the other camping gear in our 4Runners. For the record, this thing tows...

Primarily for cargo around the place and cargo for camping. Won't be putting a tent or anything permanent on it. Want to be able to take the racks off and put the rails back to get firewood and such...

Here's a link to some photos and commentary on what we've done with our M101A1 so far: Facebook Gallery I'm looking forward to the feedback! Ty

I get that, but was looking for advice from people who have gone before me. None of the options are that great.... Outside the bed on the sides, seems to make the whole rig too wide. Inside the bed takes up a lot of cargo space. Up front and I don't have a place for a tool box. So any advice...

Yeah, I've seen pics of one up there, but this mount I have can't be added there without welding a mounting plate between the A-arms - it requires a base for the bottom to bolt to. And I was thinking of putting a tool box up front...

I got my trailer and it's in really good shape. Eventually I will sandblast it and refinish it to deal with the surface rust, but there's no structural rust that I can find and it tows really well. I did get a correct M37 spare and mount and have a couple of questions: What's the correct...

Welcome to my first post on Steel Soldiers...I use forums a lot for various other purposes and searched here before concluding that I needed to ask these questions. Thank you for your help and patience as I learn more about this culture I've just joined. Yesterday I purchased this M101A1 via...
