Looks like the boys had a great time; they'll always remember those outings. Question though, why the trailer? It seems like there would be more room in the back of the truck, and easier to maneuver.

If it were me, and I wanted FM radio, I would get an antenna bracket, riser, and mount a full length FM radio whip on that. That way you'd get great reception and it would look military-ish at least. This is my ham radio antenna- mil didn't have much near the 2 meter or 70 cm bands, and...

What does that mean? The antenna sticks on the glass and you're running the wire in through the window, or it's a thru-the-glass type? Post a link and/or picture. If you want the right kind of help you can't be vague.

You reminded me that it's time to get the roof-top tent out and heft it up on top of the truck.

Hauled some more gravel. A few days ago I painted the hub covers and put them on yesterday.

Got outside early before the heat to get the trailer unloaded. The latch design on the M1101 makes it difficult to drop the tailgate when there's a load pushing against it. :-| Then I discovered a major error on my part- with the tailgate down a 2" gap opens between the tailgate and the...

I used my M1101 trailer to run and get 3/4 yard of gravel. $28 vs delivered for over $300. This thing keeps paying for itself.

Well, since you have two and I have none, the only thing to do is to send me one of them. I'll even cover the shipping. 8)

As an Extra and proud appliance operator, that's some nice set-up!

I think I paid ~$750 before fees, sold the two HMVVW wheels for $400, so $350 for the M1101. That's 10x less!

Also, photobucket does not make it through the .mil firewall so you're excluding any military folks.

Updated patch avatar? :beer:

Took the trailer out on the interstate for a speed run with the new (used) wheels and tires. Before I left I dropped the pintle one notch on the riser plate and that seems to be level now. The trailer pulled nice, no sway and only a little bounce between 40 and 45MPH; other than that you could...

It was you so :wink: instead of :eek: or :recovry4x4:

27.185 MHz? :wink:

The guy at the tire shop laughed at me when I asked if I could have a couple tires from their cast-off rack in back. Said he wouldn't use any of the tires for anything, even a trailer. I wheeled the tire in, and he said the same. I looked it over carefully and it looked good to me. Back in...

The tires are on! Michellin LTX M/S LT265/75R16 tires that were free from behind the tire shop. Load range E too, so good for over 3400# each. The previous owner ran them under-inflated; you can see it in the pictures. They don't stick out to the side, and aren't sucked into the wheel...

If you're restoring it then prioritize the blackout lights last- you don't need them to have a functional truck and unless it's completely dark outside you can't tell if they're on or off. Get a voltmeter and see what voltage is present at the light when it's on. You'll need a voltmeter...

....and many years later I scored an M1101 trailer from the government auction.
