    question on bearings/hub on a M1101

    Warm is fine, motion creates heat. I would remove both sides, inspect, and repack the bearings and adjust the hubs. A piece of mind and will be serviced for many years to come.

    New M1101 w/bed damage

    Bed looks like an easy fix with some ram pressure. Or chain the rear loops to a tree and start pulling from the front.

    First M1101

    Not too bad of width. Just have to watch the tight streets. My 101a2 is less width than my 2500HD but the rack is at 7' Still inside my towing mirrors.

    First M1101

    The 1102 has Dexter tortion axles. Dexter might have hubs that mount on easily, Not sure. I would check with a dealer on that one. http://www.dexteraxle.com/contact_us______ The tarp was an easy order, measure length and width and how far down the side you want it to go. You can specify...

    New M1101 w/bed damage

    Get a Harbor Freight hydralic ram and straighten the front lip out "metal has a memory" Change the wheels out to shorter GM rims and highway tires. Sell the beadlocks for $400.00 OBO on craigslist It should tow better then.

    The tires sit nice in the fenderwells. Look to be the same hub to hub space as the M101A2. Harbor freight sells a nice tongue box. I built mine from aluminum diamond plate and it works well.
