Yes, I plan on hooking them up to the existing parking brake cables for the 14 bolt axle.

Replaced the boat anchor of a landing gear for a 3500 lb trailer jack from harbor freight. I'll add a single or dual caster swivel in the next couple of weeks. Which will help move it around when I need to. ***anyone need the trailer axle or the wheels/tires or the landing gear from the...

Took the trailer out onto the highway today pulling it with my truck for about 200 miles, Truck pulled it well and everything was good. The lunette ring is slightly tilted up after I rotated it to hang lower. Next is to swap the landing gear as that f'n anchor on there now is a PITA. Then I'll...

Nice. I unfortunately do not have another mil spec vehicle to pull the m105. Here's my rig that will be pulling it.

Got one side of the axle mounted with a wheel and tire and on its own weight, needed to check for clearance. Going to need either a pair of 1.5 or 2 inch steel wheel spacers or another pair of wheels with a different offset. Overall, the "new" setup lowered the trailer about 7". Bottom of the...

I figured the Rockwell axle was way underrated. I had been looking for a dexter axle as well, but sellers in my area was asking several hundred dollars. I thought about buying new, but the cost added up and it became less cost effective. Which then led me to the 14 bolt.

Its cheap and a lot lighter than the m105 axle with a higher weight capacity, 8600 lbs. The overall weight will be lighter. Since, the diff, ring and pinion will be removed and possibly the axle shafts. If I can't find something to cover the wheel hubs securely, I'll cut the axle shafts down to...

Here's the leaf spring kit I purchased with 13" long ubolts: https://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/14BSS.html

Here it is bolted to the leafs/trailer. I purchased the 14 bolt simple swap kit from ruffstuff specialites and requested to have the 13" long ubolts. Rather than the 10" that comes standard with the kit. Again, I wanted to keep the leafs and overload spring to retain the load capacity. Hoping to...

The bottom of the M105 leaf pack, there's a raised edge that I had to grind down in order for the leaf pack to sit flush on the perches...

Made some progress today. Got the leaf spring perches welded onto the 14 bolt axle, painted then bolted to the M105 leafs. Here's a couple of pics of the perches...

Been reading through a bunch of articles and the TM for the M105. Appreciate all the info from these threads. Have found great info to easily integrate a 4 or 7 pin harness. Bought the trailer mainly for hauling stuff around, not for any type of overlanding/expedition adventures. Maybe in the...
