    Widen fenders on M101

    Thanks for the info on the POR-15. I was only planning to use it on the frame rails and then bedliner the bed inside and out. I wanted to not have to work on it again once I get it blasted and painted. The work is easy I have a plasma cutter and welder but I was curious how many other had...

    Widen fenders on M101

    I recently discovered that the space between the fenders on my M101A2 were not wide enough to fit a sheet of plywood or drywall. I was at Home Depot to pick up 40 sheets and discovered this the hard way. I am curious if anyone has widened thier fenders and if they have any pictures of the...

    M101-A2 Drum Brake conversion?

    I removed the ring and master to replace with a different coupler. This is my second M101A2 and I have never been happy with the stock braking. I have had a number of problems with it in the past and just want to eliminate them before I completely rebuilt/redo the entire trailer. I want to...

    M101-A2 Drum Brake conversion?

    I would like to try and keep the costs of adding electric brakes to the trailer to a minimum and at the same time retain the 8 bolt hubs. I am curious if anyone has just replaced the backing plates and drums to convert to electric without replacing the entire axle? Weight is not a concern but...

    M101A2 Questions.

    I paid too much for my trailer but they are not easy to find in Canada at all. I bought it from a private sale. I believe they were the first owner after the Canadian Forces. I wish I could buy them directly from the US Gov auction listings but they will not allow for export including...

    M101A2 Questions.

    I understand the issues with electric brakes but I just like the ability to control the trailer from in the cab a bit more than with surge brakes. I had nothing but issues with the surge brakes on my last trailer as they would stay on and drag increasing the bearing temps. 90% of the time when...

    It is a Canadian M101A2 that originally had a 60kW Deutz Genset inside which was removed before I owned it.

    Show me your trailer caps!

    I want it. Can you post more info about this unit? What was the intended use for the CBC covers? I would love to find one up here but even the trailers are hard to find in Canada.

    Show me your trailer caps!

    That was actually my old trailer. The new one I just purchased came with the same aluminum cage as well. It is a Canadian version of the M101A2.

    M101A2 Questions.

    Well I just purchased an other M101A2 after selling my last one. I regreted selling it so much I had to have another one. The new one I purchased needs much more work that my last one and is missing a bunch of pieces. I am not sure where to start on finding pieces for it. Here is the list...
