Installed new rubber on my tan M101A2.
Identical to the ones on my M1008A1
Cooper all-terrain
Stock size
Load Range E
Trailer definitely rides smoother with the new rubber.
Outside antenna is white, inside antenna is black.
Did not paint anything.
The pole is galvanized and no paint either.
Would love to paint the shipping container and antenna pole OD.
That would require at least 10 gallons........@ $70 a gallon for the good stuff.
Can’t justify that expense.
Have you looked at all the information on SS related to the “Death Wobble”?
Threads and videos?
It’s not going away on it’s own and will continue to get worse.
Regardless, you’ll need new parts.
Might as well start stocking up now.
I do but not for online posting.
Basic install.
Very easy and the 30’ pole I anchored to a shipping container.
Doesn't matter on interior antenna placement as long as it’s inside.
Great signal inside no matter where it’s placed.
Worth every cent.
I use new trans oil, not used.
Nice sunny and hot summer day for application.
New wood soaks it up like a sponge.
Old Chevy bed trailer we found on our property.
It was upside down in a small ravine and trees growing through the rotted bed.
Installed new flooring, wiring, lights, tires...
Unfortunately the Hook pilots will get disciplined because they know the effects of their rotorwash and should have known the crowd was too close.
Rotorwash from a chinook is over 100 mph.
Initiate a go-around and radio that crowd is too close.
That simple.
I used to fly that type (MH-47E)...
I use new Transmission fluid to treat my trailers wood.
Last a very long time (years) before needing additional treatment.
No it does not make wood slick.
Plus the red tint makes it look great.
I knew you weren’t complaining and had factored in replacement parts cost.
Needs fixed before it can work and earn money.
Definitely a Killer trailer at a bargain price.
System installed today.
Before,.......not a hint of service.
Now.......full four bars of signal.
The 30’ pole with the antenna attached helped without a doubt.
Well worth the $400 system cost!
For the amount of trailer and capability your getting, it’s still a bargain.
Even with lottery money, I wouldn’t own one.
Extremely cool trailer, but just too big for fun.
Most never do see the problem until there’s a problem.
Fram Filters suck
Go cheap......Get cheap.
I'm not risking an engine worth thousands on a cheap filter.
You get what you pay for.
Good Luck.
It’s been discussed on SS before.
I have also have witnessed it when a friend didn’t take advice not to use a Fram filter on a Diesel engine.
Bits of filter media clogged oil passages on a Duramax.
Almost destroyed engine. Was shut down before seizing.
He cut open filter and paper inside it...
When you go in to buy parts, DO NOT say it’s for a surplus Military Vehicle.
Say it’s for 1984 K30 Chevrolet Pickup.
With a few exceptions, that’s all it is.
The Army had Chevrolet keep all the CUCV trucks a 1984 design, regardless of the year it was made.
You will save yourself and the...
Remove the bulb end support clips and move them over the appropriate distance.
The backing place is fairly thin so the screws start easily.
Just don’t use a long screw even though the space behind is clear of wires directly behind that location.
That way you don’t have to worry about...
Perfect!
Fast
Will work in freezing weather
......and will have the job finished before the eggs and bacon go into the cast iron skillet!!
Your hired!!
