    Rotating Pintle Hook Question....

    I'm no expert, and I have 0 CAD style experience. But from my knowledge with angles and how things are made to be strong and stable. It's strange nobody has designed a easy to install rotating pintle hitch... I see many lunette rings but that requires a little more work than just plug and...

    Rotating Pintle Hook Question....

    I think what I'm going to end up doing is fabing up my own receiver hitch using something like this.

    Rotating Pintle Hook Question....

    I'll have to test that. Maybe I don't have enough weight in the trailer, or i'm not using a steep enough hill. My father's fishing boat uses a nice surge brake system and it can be a bitch backing into his garage thats on a steep hill. I'm more curious about a pintle hook, OR a lunette ring...

    Rotating Pintle Hook Question....

    I'm pretty sure mine doesn't work. I've towed it a few times and it feels nothing like my 1101 felt. I've attempted to "test" it by pushing in the loop into the surge section and, nothing.

    Rotating Pintle Hook Question....

    I've been having contemplation of keeping my pintle hook hitch. I love the pintle hitch and I've been using it frequently with my m101a3. I'm starting my build of my trailer and i'm debating 3 different options.. 1. Keep the pintle hook design, but delete the surge brakes. 2. Put a standard 2...

    Rebuilding MY m101a2 BY harleyhouse

    I'll have to register on that site and keep up to date. Currently I've owned my 101a3 for a year or so now. I did purchase a FLAWLESS m1101, but decided it wasn't for me. To big for my truck and I didn't like the massive inner fenders from the tires being tucked. I ended up selling that to a...

    m101a3 hub brake conversion question

    Right, I understand they are the GM style. I figured I made that clear speaking about my Duramax and what not. I don't want the HMWWV rims or anything like that. I just want to end up being able to use my same wheel pattern as my truck. The spacers should solve that problem.

    Rebuilding MY m101a2 BY harleyhouse

    Great Blog. hopefully soon i'll be able to start my own! I imagine its possible to remove the surge, fluid lines, without remove the hand brakes? I haven't opened up my hubs yet to see exactly how everything works.

    m101a3 hub brake conversion question

    I'm not to worried about that I guess. I have those massive wheel well/fenders to fill up. Plus i'll only be using stock rims/tire size. did you have any problems with them loosening?

    M101A3 Hub Conversoin Question - Spacers or No spacers...........

    Alright Gents, and Ladies. Here is my situation. I own a 2014 Duramax, for those who know, The 2014 Duramax has a 8x180 MM off set for the rims.. For some reason, chevy decided to change this in..2011. My M101A3 Has the 8x6.5 Offset rims. I do not plan to run 35s, or super bling wheels. I'm...

    m101a3 hub brake conversion question

    I have this same question. I bought a 2014 Duramax (old body style) and I was under the assumption that since they share the same body, and style rims, that it would be the original bolt patter. Boy was I wrong. I'm going to be searching for a hub conversion as well to match my DMAX. My trailer...

    Buying from GovPlanet walkthrough/review.

    Well I picked up my trailer! I did notice that one of the tires was mounted backwards on the rim. So that was a bummer. Other than that the tread on the tires was brand new. Trailer looked brand new. And I know the landing gear was never used. I found the manual behind one of the feet! So...

    M1061A1 trailer hookup for 12 volt pickup pull

    If i'm right, I think if you don't use air, it will move. Just no brakes...Empty the tanks and lines and see if that works?

    AH, Roger that. I'll be driving during the day so it should be okay until I get to a wal-mart to get the right bulbs.
