Welcome aboard! And welcome to the wonderful world of small trailers! THANK YOU for not cutting her up, she will work just fine on the trail in stock form, that was what she was designed for in the first place. That trailer originally had the little bitty lights that were on the M38A1, small...

Is there a spring loaded locking pin on the trailer? Does it lock into the stowed position?

I carry several in my M1009: bottle (big and small), HMMWV scissor, M105A3 stabilizer/jack and a Hi-Lift bumper type. I guess showing up at Tinker to recover the truck and finding a flat with no spare or jack in the truck made me a bit paranoid:) They have come in very handy for roadside...

TJ, JK, YJ... all sub categories of CJ (Civilian Jeep). I bought my M416 from a guy who used it, in it's stock form, with his CJ for many years. Much to his wife's disgust he never even painted it! This is the way it looked when I got it from him:

All the more reason to scratch build an expedition trailer to suit his needs!

I have used the slave port to jump many a Deuce and five ton, but my standard answer when asked to jump a 12v vehicle is "NO, my truck is 24v and will destroy your car's computer". If I knew (and liked) the 12v vehicle's owner and knew WHY it would not start I would likely disconnect my front...

Unless your brake system is defective you should not need it. My M101A2 trailers back fine and stop smooth without lockout pins. My home made M116A2 flatbed backs well however does not stop smooth when free to do it's own braking, I replaced the dampner and it still jerks when empty, I suspect...

RESTORE IT! Restored to it's original military glory that little guy will still work just fine behind your CJ! The price on military "jeep" trailers is going through the roof due in no small part to off-roaders making expedition trailers out of them, and there is usually less than 20% of the...

I was thinking of registering my M105A3 as a Texas Trailer, just to make Johnny do an inspection on it:)

I found out about it when my boss got pulled over east of San Angelo and ticketed for it, twice in two weeks, by the same Trooper. He was towing a 16' Wells Cargo enclosed. I asked Johnny at the inspection station next door and he confirmed, and confirmed that he rarely does the inspections and...

Any professional brake and clutch supply house should be able to reline any brake shoe, assuming the backing plate is not damaged. That should cost a lot less than new parts.

Yes, Texas inspects trailers with a GVW over #4500 (titles required over #4000 GVW) and has for years. They look for general safety, working lights and working brakes (though it's hard to tell if the brakes work, they just look to see if they are complete and in good condition). The sticker...

Welcome from Austin!

That is an M101, no brakes, be careful!

I have used a combo hitch on my M1009 for two years with no issues, including being "beat up". I have towed my M416 and about a half dozen M101A2 with no issues, but I will only tow the M416 off road because it has a rotating lunette. The locked M101A2 lunette will bind and break something if it...

Welcome aboard! I think your first sortie should be the removal of that fugly bumper! Then you need to figure out everything else that the FD did to her while she was in their captivity... I like the muffler!

I have the CDN cover on my M416 and like it a lot, the camo is painted on and rubs off but otherwise I have no gripes. I bought it from an advertisement in Supply Line, from a guy in New York state, he has no website.

I have used a M1009 as a daily driver for more than two years now with no issues uncommon with a 25 year old Chevy and other than no AC I can recommend it with no reservations. I have driven it off road some and it is very capable for a vehicle it's size, I would have no issues driving in your...

Clever!

I am not sure how much it will weigh, I am going to TRY to keep it simple and lightweight, but also want sturdy, so we shall see... I will keep it 1009 worthy. His trailer is post #367 and 370 in this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/trailers/52277-show-us-your-military-trailers.html
