    hypothetical M101 mods

    Don't need the suurge brake system? Take it off and fab up a channel hitch like I did on my trailers. Use a ball mount or lunette. I would go the shorter tire route. to lower the trailer. If you go with a new axle "they make drop spindle axles with electric brakes" get a dexter made. I run...

    anyone set up a former military trailer for hauling kayaks???

    A simple truck rack cut down looks good and works well. I went with a 1 x 2" tube frame on my RED 101A2 and it hauls two canoes four kayaks or a Roof Top Tent.

    What a friend will give ya for a couple of cases of beer ?

    I think you got the better deal, Once the beer and wine are gone all he has is................ pee. You got a cool tub to build with and if maintained will last a long time. Nice score! What are you going to make with it?

    My First Trailer!

    Very nice, are you keeping it green? What are you towing it with? For the footman loop I would head to a boat or RV shop they should have the gun and rivits to repair it. two rivits and a couple minutes is cheaper than buying the gen and parts. Are you going to run the beadlocks?

    My M101A3...new to MV

    I went with a cast ball / pintle combo and It works great! 2" ball for the civilain trailers and a pintle for hauling green toys home. What color is the Excursion?

    Great job on the trailer what a deal. Towing with the Expedition will be no problem and be close to level with the right hitch combo. The 8 bolt hubs are 8 on 6.5 the expedition are metric so no using the expedition spare. I like the matching trailers and look forward to your build. This is my...

    Recovered a M101A2

    I went with the Weld on ring Harbor Freight 2000 LB Model # 41006 It is a little shorter than I like so I am going to get the HF # 3961 3500LB taller jack Both were less than $40.00 on sale. I like the weld on ring versions better than the bolt on. Less bulky material. Here are several pictures...
