I went to Napa today and got 12V bulbs, installed, and everything works as it should.
Small bulb 623 = 631 (12V) @ $5.49
Large bulb 1683 = 1156 (12V) @ $3.99
I also used the shop vac to suck all the dirt and debris out of the drain holes and the tie-down pockets. It looks a lot better now...
Thanks to Eric’s super fast shipping, I received my rubber shell connectors so it was off to Home Depot for the rest of the stuff I needed. I picked up four colors of 16g wire, a 7 blade connector, and some wire loom.
All the connectors are crimped and soldered, the wires are tucked...
I am going a different route for a couple of reasons. The most minor was that I wanted to keep the original harness intact. Second, the 12 wire cable is huge and heavy, and I don't really want to use it. I worry it might pull itself out of the 7-pin socket on my jeep by its own weight. I...
I came home after work and got to work on getting the old wire harness off (only to the first junction point). It only took me about an hour. The most difficult thing was getting the connectors apart. Then I had to drill out the rivets holding the clamps. The last...
I found the safety chains to be a bit too short, probably because of the huge riser plate I need to run. That shouldn't be a problem for you though. I was pretty nervous that it wouldn't be turn-key and I'd have to rent a flat bed truck to get it home- but it was ready for the road; I expect...
I wish this forum would allow me to [img] pictures up, but I took a few more of the trailer that will be tiny. The tail lights are traditional filament bulbs with LEDs for the black-out portion (?). The side markers are LED.
The only damage to mine is two minor scuffs and one of the parking...
It took a while for my EUC to clear, but I got the word Monday that the trailer was clear to pick up. It would happen that the base (where I work) was having a large scale security drill today and we were warned to telework from home (or Starbucks) and stay well clear. I decided today would be...
That was my biggest concern. The M1101/2 trailers are pretty wide as it is. I'm only going to have 4" on each side to fit through the garage door opening, so wider will not be an option.
My Jeep has AEV Pintler wheels on it, four of them plus the spare, with 265/65-17 BFG AT TA with an E...
I have a question on wheel options.
Has anyone run a set of wheel adapters to convert the eight-lug to something more standard? I would like to run the same wheels and tires I use on my jeep, so my spare would work for the trailer.
Did anyone else get a letter from Defense Logistics Agency? I don't remember getting one the last time. It's two pages of warnings and responsibilities that seem to be geared towards exporters.
For a long time I have wanted to build a tool for bleeding brake lines by myself. I figured if I could find some sort of suction apparatus I could do just that. One day while perusing the GL stuff locally, I noticed that there were six gastrointestinal suction devices coming up. I threw down...
The prices these went for today should make you feel a little better Clutzer:
2330 - Trailers at Government Liquidation

In your original post, in the third and fourth picture, they're stowed on the front of the trailer, held down by some black rubber bungees. The front landing leg is there too, folded underneath.
I'm not sure to which picture you are referring, they all look like good trailers. Looking at the pictures from our sale, the legs appear to all be there.
Here's another one for sale, $5500 Military HMMWV M1101 LTT
Looks like someone got theirs from the same sale, and got them already: (2) 2009 M1101/M1102 Military cargo trailers 1.4 ton payload aluminum
Good luck on the sale!
