Was this a German Military unit that was "acquired" or were these fielded by the US?

It was thought a lower center of gravity with the dual axles would help with the high number of rollovers and accidents the m149 fleet has had. Also the same wheel and tire as the m101a2.

That extension was made for the m989 ammo trailers rubbing the corners of the towing prime mover hemtts.

One of your potential challenges is that 16's make the truck sit higher hence the front of the trailer sits higher. Maybe 2-4 inches? My xm1073 likes the deck level or tilting forward as those double axles act like a seesaw. Maybe also moving to a taller tire/wheel.

Keep the brakes. Buy a simple riser with a pintle hook. Or a combo unit. Low $ Tag it in Maine. Much cheaper and easier than any other state. Ymmv

My SWAG is that these m1097's are all owned by them outright and they are the EUC holder and will transfer to new owner in order to expedite the process since so many are in the pipeline and Battle Creek would not be able to handle the bubble in volume quickly. All pure speculation on my part...

I think priority changed for $ to armored. No need for 1000's of updated soft skins plus the introduction of the new platform JLT Ymmv

Many more to come I think...... These are just m1097's. other models not in pipeline yet. They have so many they trucked 100 to Mobile. Euc in house interesting.

Can you share where skins are available as I had not heard of that and instructions?

M116 is just the frame of a m101. no bed unless it is a gen set m116 and many flavors with or without a bed or partial bed. Good if you want to custom build bed.

The piece to convert the original m101 surge unit to adjustable is a civy part and typically available at e trailer or croft. You have to go to the parts breakout section of the surge brake units. Also can be converted to trailer ball. M101 was toledo or bankcroft? as the company has changed...
