    Thanks Bob.

    Anyone removed the run-flat inserts from M101A3 tires?

    Bob, I took the runflats out of my wheels on my HUMMER because of all that darn extra weight (my runflat/beadlock piece weighed in at 45 lbs). I did install the beadlock only insert (12.5 lbs) though as I am running two piece wheels. The two piece wheels don't have the same lip on the wheels...

    Civy truck to MIL trailer wiring info

    Good info to know. I plan on making my M101A3 compatible with a civ vehicle 12v system. I have the wiring for the receptable figured out as referenced in my above post. I would like to still use the military lights though. Does anyone know what style light bulb will fit within the military...

    Accuracy of Weight on Dataplate

    I took the runflats out of my wheels on my HUMMER because of all that darn extra weight. I did install the beadlock only insert though as I am running two piece wheels. The two piece wheels don't have the same lip on the wheels as the one piece wheels and really require use of a beadlock or...

    Accuracy of Weight on Dataplate

    Ressoldier, I'd really rather not get into a whole discussion on spray-in bedliners, I was just saying that the first person (466Navastar) to mention thickness was saying bedliners could be in excess of 3/8" thick, which I think is flat out absurd. I just pointed out that mine was thinner...

    It's not a problem, I was just CURIOUS if anyone else had ever weighed their trailers and what the results were...

    Accuracy of Weight on Dataplate

    They are depicted on the diagram on the dataplate. Good to know though. Edit - Well the cover is shown installed, which implies the sidebars and bows were installed to hold up the tarp. ;)

    Accuracy of Weight on Dataplate

    And if this trailer is going to end up on an aircraft the dataplate should be accurate! I haven't removed the wheels to weigh them, however from talking to a SNCO friend of mine in the Army he said that all the wheels are built the same since they could end up on a HMMWV or this trailer...

    Accuracy of Weight on Dataplate

    What about them? I removed the tarp and bows for weighing. (And because they were already off and in the garage.) However, all sideboards, tarp, and bows should have been included in the weight on the dataplate, since they are part of the trailer.

    Accuracy of Weight on Dataplate

    Cool thanks. Then maybe if you hadn't weighed it you could just not post in the thread?

    Accuracy of Weight on Dataplate

    The point of this thread was to see who had their trailers weighed and what the results were. How hard is it to get a proper reply? Instead I get people replying with my bedliner being shotty or too thick, asking where I had it weighed and for the scales calibration records, what color is the...

    Accuracy of Weight on Dataplate

    Talked to the people that did the bed liner as well as another local place that offers the same liner. Estimated weight of product to do this size bed would be between 15 to 40 lbs. The trailer is in a "like new" condition. No mud/dirt.

    Accuracy of Weight on Dataplate

    As far as I know the wheels and tires are spec (two piece 16.5" steel wheels, 37x12.5x16.5 Goodyear MT). It had the side racks on but I removed the top 5 bows and removed the tarp (which you would think WOULD be included with the trailer's overall weight on the dataplate). The front and rear...

    F-16 for auction

    There's no way that's the one that went down in Mountain Home back in '03 (?), it went in pretty fast/hard and fireballed! Was that really it?!?!

    Accuracy of Weight on Dataplate

    It was the scales for the city dump, I have no reason to doubt their accuracy. They are recommended by Tinker AFB to use prior to PCS moves.

    Accuracy of Weight on Dataplate

    I had my M101A3 trailer weighed yesterday. I removed the tarp and 5 bows. It weighed in a 1700 lbs. The dataplate says is should weigh 1540 lbs. The only mods on the trailer: -Spray in bedliner (in bed only) -Set of magnetic tow lights Has anyone else ever weighed their trailer? If so...
