I pulled it behind a hybrid Maverick with a flipped drop hitch. I had one wheel bearing get warm but it was fine once I smeared grease on it. It was a bit bouncy but not terrible. It may have caught some air once on a bridge grate. Looking back on it now I think the tire pressure was a bit...
I have an M1101 that I use to haul loose items and it would be convenient if the sides were 18" - 24" taller. I wanted to post something here in case someone else had already skinned this cat. My tentative plan is to build some corner brackets that will bolt into the place of the bow pockets...
Are there any know issues with the standard split rims that come on the M1101/2 trailers? I picked one up last month and am considering keeping the stock tires & rims (sans runflats). I originally intended to move to the same 37" tire mounted on a traditional rim but the tires that came on my...
I wanted to say thanks for all the real world advice. I wound up with a Curt 13" plate and hitch. It was more than what I wanted to spend but it was what was available in time. I did throw about 100 pounds in the nose of the trailer to increase the tongue weight and another 150 in the truck...
When loaded it will be towed behind a CUCV. I'm just pulling it home with the Maverick to save on gas and reduce the chance of a break down far from home. Also a 14 hour day in a CUCV would be a bit rougher.
I picked up an M1101 in NC and the truck I would prefer to pull it home (SE PA) with has a 2" receiver height of about 19". The lunette height on the trailer is about 26". I was looking at mounting plates with some rise to them and noticed that a number of them are marked drop position only...
I'm in PA, picked up a trailer in the same auction and had the same question. FWIW, my local title place, who periodically handles SF97s, suggested that I pay the money. Congrats on the trailer!
By way of an update, my dad (it sits in his back drive) got to it before I did and he was able to cut the tap out with dremel tool. I drilled out enough of the remaining brass to use a dental pick peel out the old brass threads. I have all the details and threads somewhere but it has been so...
You might want to check your rear leaf spring bushings. I had a slightly delayed clunk on stops when the rear spring bushings in my '88 Toyota needed changing.
I am looking for a replacement part for the part that allows you to thread the water drain into the bottom of the fuel tank on my MEP-002. I believe the part is called the fuel bung or fuel boss but I am not sure. I sheared the fuel petcock off trying to remove it for my initial cleaning (It...
