A lattice made from 1x2 strips would look nice, but stuff will get under it, and with Scouts around there WILL be stuff to get under it...

Croft trailer supply, their website appears to be down at the moment, when it comes up this is the link I followed: http://www.crofttrailer.com/site/products/352/3242/details.html?PHPSESSID=7ab47c88709274f8680fb6325a96ad0c

Cut a piece of nice plywood to fit and lay it on the bottom, that will smooth it out and retain the original floor. As was stated earlier, those trailers are becoming very pricy and finding one that has not been cut or welded on is very hard. An abused but original floor is worth more than a...

The M101 uses the same wheel and tire as the M37 truck, that might help your search

A3 axle, with A2 wheels

There are usually quite a few trailers listed with narrow fendered A2 bodies of various configs, with wide A3 axles under them, and A2 wheels on them. AND I have seen narrow A2 axles with HMMWV wheels/tires on them (which I understand cause clearance issues). The moral of the story is you have...

To answer the original question: Pix as follows: 1-M101A1/A2 standard body, outside 2-M101A1/A2 standard body, inside 3-M101A2 late body, outside (lifting rings, re-enforced, no fender flares) (on A1 frame!) 4-M101A2 late body, inside (re-enforced, wide fender wells inside) 5-M101A3 body...

I have not seen one of the M116A1E1 but I assume that would be the nomenclature for the heavy frame 1 ton version of the M116 without surge brakes, the addition of brakes would make it an A2E1. Your unit may have been upgraded to A2 configuration and not received a new data plate, OR the...

Agreed! In Texas an SF97 is not required on ANY vehicle that does not require a title, including trailers under 4k GVW, like the M101A2. I took my GL invoice and a photo of the data plate to my local Tax Office and got it done. DO NOT alter the data plate! "Vin number tampering" is a FELONY...

I think for USABLE foreign radios the British Clansman rigs are the choice. The PRC351 is a solid state unit, compatible with US military radio freqs, and available on eBay UK for much less than than $200 including shipping (in used, tested, guaranteed condition). For DISPLAY purposes I think...

The receiver is dual power, 90vdc and 1.5vdc, with apparently no batteries available (you will have to fab your own) and the transmitter is powered by a hand crank! AND the freq range is 2-12mhz. More info here: Chinese Type 102E HF Radio Set

Swing by Tractor Supply (or another farm/ranch/trailer supply store) and get a 3/8"x4-1/4" hitch pin. If the dampener in your surge brake assembly is bad the trailer will lurch violently when you try to stop, and will scare the poo out of you (ask me how I know...), the pin goes in the hole...

BM is right, the M416 can get in some tight spots the M101A2 can not, I took mine on the tank and rabbit trails on Ft.Hood last year and she never skipped a beat! Do THAT with a M101!

You married guys crack me up...

Good choice! I like mine. Like the man said, load it thoughtfully and drive safely and you will be fine. I think the Army decided to limit M1009 towing to a M416 so they did not have to explain the difference between a M101 and a M101A2. If you overload a M101 with no brakes you WILL crash a...

Nope, don't know him, but I like his rig! Looks like he keeps his 10'09 full-o-krap like I do... There are a LOT of MVPA members in North Texas

This past Saturday was the open house and swap meet at the Museum of The American GI/Brent Mullins jeep Supply, lots of tanks and cool stuff everywhere. The battle was a sight to see, three tanks, two tank destroyers, two half tracks. It was worth the trip for me just to stand at the side of the...

I have both, I pull both with my M1009, I like both of them for different reasons: Which one is easier to load and un load? The M101A2. Which one is SAFER with a full load? The M416. Which one can full grown adults sleep in? The M101A2. Which one will haul a 4x8 sheet of plywood flat? Neither...
