It is a big trailer. You just need an even bigger one

At least a new thread title

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.

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.

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

That turned out really nice. Looks good sitting there nice and level. Nicely done.

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...

I stand corrected. Learn something new everyday.

I also would recommend keeping it together. Great score! It’s always the “other guy” who finds deals like this.

Absolutely

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...

If you need anything while passing though OKC area let me know. Safe place to park, food recommendations, helping hand, etc.

If you would, post it here and any other information you might find.

Ok That does help.

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

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...

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
