All great ideas!!! Hadn’t thought about the tent. Will have to think more about that possibility. I like the Generator/fuel tank also. If the generators would come down in price a bit I would seriously consider that. Water pump is also an excellent idea. I know it looks rough but the...

With Jack’s on three points to stabilize and level it, it might make a good portable deer stand. I truly don’t know what to do with this thing except dump $$$ into it.

Definitely a possibility!!!!

This trailer is definitely odd. It’s been modified for duals from the factory. Instead of 9 leafs in each spring it has 12. Every picture I’ve found is single wheel only. The data plate on this trailer even shows single wheel. Definitely not a unit add on. Another weird thing is almost every...

I have new tires and NOS wire harness for it already. Tail lights also.

I was originally going to turn this into a fuel tank trailer but since most of it is aluminum, I would have to almost destroy it to do that The frame is partially aluminum also and it’s impossible to simply remove a few bolts and lift off the top portion. The aluminum fabrication is extremely...

Installed new Hawkers today. Since I had batteries out, I also installed a new set of glow plugs. AC60Gs Much easier with the batteries out on the passenger side. Didn’t need to but with winter coming and the other set at least two years old why not

Well........ I had just installed two red tops (with 6T adapters) last week since one of my original Hawkers had died. Truck starts great. No issues but.....Just didn’t like the way it looked. So today I picked up two brand spanking new Hawker 6TAGMs. Will install tomorrow

Those are pieces of rubber I cut to take up the gap since the tops of the optima’s aren’t perfectly flat. Military does same thing and it’s not part of the kit. That’s the only thing I don’t like about this install. Still beats the cost of new Hawkers. I know it doesn’t look it, but the front...

I run Optima Red Tops in everything vehicle I own, with the exception of the new trucks with factory batteries. My travel trailer has a blue top installed. The ones I installed in the CUCV are model 34/78. Model 34 will work also. That is the top post only model. I know I could have installed...

Installed new Grade 8 tank bolts on my M149A1-2 Glad I did as all were very rusted and several were almost half original shaft size. All came out fine except for one. Would have to remove tank again to get it as it’s spinning the insert in tank. I wanted to go back with the original style...

Finally had one of my Hawker battery’s die. 7 years old (I’ve had them 5) and I tried everything to bring it back. It will not hold a charge. Voltage drops to 11.4 after sitting overnight. The other one is still fine. Truck still started, just a bit slower. After running truck for a while I...

I would also add a can or two of seafoam to the fuel tank. Will help clean up any dirty injectors that might also be causing issues. Definitely won’t hurt.

What were the tent measurements? M105A2 is a lot bigger than a M101A2

Rims are tube only.

Does anyone know if those rims are for tubes only or can I use tubeless? I can’t tell by just looking.

The tongue is aluminum and is connected to steel pintle hitch and also steel main frame. All the rest is a mix of heavy and medium aluminum. The remaining Jack plate is 2” thick aluminum plate. A few electrical components are still there inside the main box. I hooked up the trailer lights to...

I bought this exact trailer on GP. Looks like it was sold once before and then relisted, which is when I saw it and bought it. Just got it home last night. Believe it or not, those tires took and held air and towed great. Made the trip from Ft. Sill (Lawton, OK) to Edmond, OK never going over...

Installed new glow plugs and changed oil and fuel/oil filters. Wasn’t having issues with the glow plugs at all but it’s been at least 2 years since last changed and don’t want any issues this winter.
