    Lubricating Lunette/Pintle?

    Interestingly enough, I've experienced this binding ever since picking up my first M101A1. Sometimes its loud like a gunshot and causes my jeep to shake. It only happens when backing up or turning slowly. Well, today something felt off and after investigating, it turns out the lunette got about...

    Towing an M101A with a Cover

    Great idea! Pulling the gate up from inside the trailer is a royal pain in the rear. I'm definitely looking into adding chains.

    Towing an M101A with a Cover

    It's an outdoor carpet, and I can just roll it up when I'm finished. I guess I should have clarified that it needs to be weatherproof just when I'm in it :-D

    Towing an M101A with a Cover

    I've searched all over the place, so I apologize if this has been addressesd in another thread. I have a brand new heavy duty Mil cover for my M101a1, and I was wondering if it was a good idea to tow it with it on.

    Has anybody tried getting trailer registered in ME who does not live there?

    I just registered an M101a1 I bought from a local fella that's a member of this board. He directed me to Maine, and it was such a piece of cake. It beats the heck out of going through all of the hoops that Maryland puts you through. All I needed was a bill of sale prints from their site (no...
