    What did you do to your trailer today.

    The original trailer tongue was a tad too short In sharp turns the trailer will make contact with the tow vehicle. The Military came out with an extension kit to solve the problem. The NOS kits were on eBay but I think the supply dried up. Haven’t looked in quite a while.

    M105 Trailer Question

    Trailer up on blocks, pallets, and foam board under tarp to prevent ponding are excellent suggestions and probably your best bets. It will handle your cargo just fine, but unless it’s parked on a hard surface, the tires will slowly sink into the ground.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Unique color choice. Don’t forget the reflective tape along the sides and rear.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Used my green M101A2 the last few days. Fairly heavy loads over horrendous Rural roads. Once parked and disconnecting it from the M1008A1, I discovered both frame bolts on right side, under surge brake assembly, were loose. Could spin both by hand loose. Left side was fine. Quick hit with...

    M101A2 Trailer Questions

    Until this thread, I had never seen such an early M101 series with lifting points. Wonder if it was a Unit add-on modification or a spec design change between contracts. Just makes the M101 Trailer series even better.

    CUCV more questions than answers...

    I would replace the harmonic balancer. Especially if it’s original. The rubber on mine was hard and cracked and starting to separate from the Steel. Not far away from complete failure. It’s no secret that more than a few 6.2L diesels have broken crankshafts directly related to old and worn...

    How to rehabilitate trailer connector cable?

    It is rubber molded/bonded to the metal. The internal pins and cable itself will come out, but the housing is one piece.

    M101A2 Trailer Questions

    The M101A2’s do not have the lifting points on the side of the bed. They used the tie down shackles for lifting onto ships, etc. The M101A3’s do have them and extra support around the points. A3 is also wider between fender wells, thicker framing, step down axle and HMMWV wheels, etc. The...

    I have too Many CUCV's and Parts

    Put it in the vehicles for sale classifieds. Someone will buy it if it’s priced right. I hope it gets saved. Absolutely Hate seeing a CUCV parted out and scrapped
