Chemical Agent Resistant Paint. In the case of a chemical attack, we can't have our trucks looking like crap.

If you don't care about getting the 'look' there are some inexpensive clearance lights over here: https://www.speedtechlights.com/clearance

The second of the two landing lights burned out, so I replaced it with my last spare. I bought them on here, forget who was selling them. They'd been on the truck for almost 10 years now- use them sporadically. The first one burned out about a month ago, so the timing was interesting.

Don't know yet- still haven't swapped it out yet. Given how stiff the new one is, if the one I pull out of the trailer is soft I'll believe it's the shock.

Do you have any idea what the military calls it? There's nothing in the manual with that name, or anything like it.

31-10.5R15 tires Leave it stock. The axles/diffs are adequate in stock form. (Two words in that sentance are important- adequate and stock.) As soon as you start drifting away from stock stuff starts breaking and replacements can get expensive. Might not be the popular opinion.

Looks pretty straightforward to replace. Ordered the part. Thanks!

Put the studded tires on the '09 tonight; snow in the forecast.

Nope. The backing feature is by design; in stock form you can back the trailer without the brakes applying. If it's not backing then it's not working like it should. Drilling holes would only mask that symptom- the problem would still exist.

Thanks for all the replies. It was working great previously, even backed 2,000# of landscape block up my driveway. Stock worked before, I want stock to work again.

I believe it. Now I'm wishing I had been more contentious and made notes; then I could have written a short how-to to make this thread of at least some use. ;)

I was actually able to figure it out; it's just not intuitive.

Awesome! The voodoo is the part that makes it back without applying the brakes, but does apply the brakes when the trailer is overrunning the vehicle.

Thanks, but the M1101/2 does not use a pin, it's automatic (somehow). I need to know the voodoo that makes it work or not work.

Trailer has been sitting a while (with the parking brakes set) and i pulled it from its parking spot over to the driveway. While backing it in the driveway the brakes applied so I pulled it around the block and tried again. This time it went up the driveway but I think the brakes were...

Box installed. Only going to use one so I can fab a tire carrier for the same spot on the other side to hold the spare. Just the right size for a handful of tie-down straps and bungies. The trailer is not as deep as a pickup bed, so it sits just above the rail - not sure how I feel about...

Took the ferry over to Everett this morning to pick up an auction win. A Titan Model 250000 wheel well tool box, brand new in the box. I've been looking for one for a couple years now- there's no place on the M1101 trailer to store tie-downs and other stuff. I considered making a box out of...

Picked this up on the auction last week. The story goes there was a guy that bought millions worth or milsurp and recently died, the family is selling all the stuff. The guy at the yard told me that was one of six locations in the US, and that there was at least $3Million in that location. So...

Won item today and want to pay so I don't get charged a late fee, but I don't understand how to check out. Where do I put my credit card info? Why is check-out not the simplist freaking thing I do today?
