    M101A2 Brake parts and part numbers here

    Sure they are on here but searching for “m101a2 brake parts“ turns up a bunch of posts that are very verbose and not concise. Plus, most posts point to etrailer or some other over priced site for parts. It's just a trailer, not a palace on wheels. I'll take the low cost parts.

    M101A2 Brake parts and part numbers here

    Since I couldn't find the information here I thought I would share what I found out to work. For the surge brake master cylinder use Dorman part number M2796. ABOUT $41 on Amazon. For the flex line running from the frame to the rear axle use Dorman part number H36965. About $13 on Amazon. For...

    Show Me Your Campers!

    And here is the completed project. What I don't mention in the video is that a bought a twin bed sized mosquito net that I hung from the inside steel frame via magnets so that I could open the back flap entirely and still be bug free. https://youtu.be/wjo8WQ6u-EQ

    ****, I just got to reviewing my thread on the camper build and realized that I never posted the entire series. Here I start making the pattern for the canvas for the camper: https://youtu.be/Bp_3gWmpfwo

    Show Me Your Campers!

    The very last part of the "hinges/crossmember" video gives you an idea what it will look like in the open position.

    Show Me Your Campers!

    My camper project I am heading out west for a month this summer and wanted to do two things. Remove the original m101a2 top and bows to reduce the "barn side" wind resistance when towing behind my jeep, and to be comforatable and bug free when sleeping in it. I decided to build a 1/2 A-Frame...

    M101A3 - cargo anchor install

    On my 101 the first safety chain link, closest to the trailer frame, is oversized. I just take the other end of the chain and hook it in that first oversized link. It fits great and the chains are hung nicely out of the way. My 2 cents.

    Pictures needed of an Air Force M101A2

    More specifically, the second jump is broke. The link you gave works, but the next link to the classified is broke. Sorry, I should have been more specific. I thought everyone could read my mind.....

    M101 frame numbers?

    Should be stamped on a black plate somewhere on either side of the tongue.

    Yes, you are right. The vin is something like "3466 USAF 90k65". For the Virginia Title I used just the first 4 digits (3466). I am over on the Stencils site now, ordering the ones I need to get it back "proper".

    Hey "Recovry4x4", I hate to break this to you, but in your Avatar picture, one of your trucks is trying to "mate" with the other one. You might want to think about getting him "neutered" rofl That is, unless you want more camo things hanging out at your place... Oh wait, that is what we ALL...

    Pictures needed of an Air Force M101A2

    Thanks guys! Both tips helped. I used a combination of 3M adhesive remover and xylol to remove to top coat of paint and lo and behold, just as EMMADO22 said. It was built in 1990 and the first number was "90". Then there was a "K", followed by 65. Not sure 65 is the vin... Also, they spray...

    Is there "suppose" to be water in my M101A2 cover?

    Well, thanks for all the comments. I am going to leave it "as is, where is". It does help hold the top down and I will spring the "the government did that on purpose" excuse on the next unsuspecting gawker. Good for a silent laugh!!! :D

    Does anyone out there have some pictures or can point me to someplace where I can find some of an Air Force M101A2? I just got my from GovLiq a few weeks ago and some one has painted over the markings with flat black spray paint. See the attached photos. This trailer was manufactured in 1990...

    Need Help Making 4 flat cable from non-mil car to M101A2

    Might have been me. The price kept going up and up. You should have quite earlier so that I wouldn't have had to pay so much!!! And by the looks of your signature, you don't NEED any more trailers!!! (OK, you don't yet own a 116 but...) I am a first time owner, and very happy....
