Could you to apply the following algorithm for generating a VIN for the DMV for these trailers:
VIN = MANUF + MODEL_NUMBER + MANUF. SERIAL NUMBER
Where:
MANUF = SE - Silver Eagle, etc.
MODEL_NUMBER = M1101, M1102, M101A1, etc.
E.g.
SEM110112345 <- Silver Eagle M1101 with manuf. serial...
I notice that the adapter harness link is broken. I can't find the original seller or product on eBay, but this seems to be another adapter that does the same thing. I can't vouch for its correct function however, so I just include it here as FYI.
Ack: I guess we cannot post eBay links to...
Mainsail, I love your license plate mount. I am going to 100% copy you. What is your local home store, Home Depot? I found that bracket on Amazon for $7.38...
Ha ha: something keeps getting messed up with the billing for my SF 97 so I still don't think they've started processing my request. Arg. Regardless, my trailer made it through Canadian and U.S. Customs without title, registration, or plates. I know I'm extremely lucky to not have been...
The wheel is a 16.5" diameter rim, 8.5" width. You can put any tire you like on it. BUT, your choice for the 16.5" wheel is extremely limited =(. You probably want to hunt around for a rim size that gives you more options for smaller tires.
Got my trailer April 2nd and continued with it up into Canada. I squeezed through Canadian customs holding my breath.
I used the wiring adapter harness and all the lights are working well enough for me. There was a slight burning smell coming out of the axle or brake areas after prolonged use...
Are you looking to change rim/tire size to match your jeep? Sorry, if I'm missing something, I just tuned into this thread after a bit.
You can get loads of surplus 8 bolt HMMWV rims that are designed for the trailer... HMMWV wheel offets are somewhat unique so take note of the offset...
The third picture has the trailer with the Hutchinson 17s. Those rims are worth more than that trailer! rofl
That guy has too much money!
I definitely agree the matching paint is pretty awesome. "Metallic Pewter" isn't going to be easy to come by cheap I bet... And, I'd probably half to do...
I would love to do two things to the trailer:
1. Paint it Pewter to match my H1, and
2. Dye or paint the canvas black to match my H1.
But talk about a lot of expense for zero practical benefit ha ha ha.
Hahahahahaha, I'm a dumba55. I thought those were a fixed part of the front of the trailer used to stabilize it while driving. I totally misread the manual.
****, that guy's trying to turn a quick profit. $1400 mark up LOL!
Notice on the trailer with the tan wheels that his stabilizer is coming off (it appears). I hope ours aren't afflicted with the same problem.
I also hope ours come with stabilizer legs, that would rule.
It's kind of sickening from a tax-payer perspective:
2000 x $8,954.00 = $17,908,000
I don't know if there is a discount for buying in bulk... And of course you need to factor in the selling price of the trailers on GL which let's for argument's sake say is $600 on average:
2000 x ($8,954 -...
That brightness level, especially at night looks more than adequate. Thanks for posting these! Again good looking trailer--how did it handle the roads with all the snow and ice we just got? I assume it tracked perfectly with the MT tires?
Got my adapter from roger101a2. It looks pretty well made. Here is a picture of it as I got it, and then after I added some electrical tape to a few places to keep water and snow out.
With electrical tape, I covered an exposed screw head, sealed the boot covering the military end of the...
