    Thanks for sharing all of the great ideas. Here is what I came up with. I found some nice d-rings on etrailer that were not too big and not too small: https://www.etrailer.com/Tie-Down-Anchors/Brophy/SR15-C.html I found attachment hardware at Lowes. Total cost was about $4.25 per attachment...

    Decent paint job with brush and roller - anyone?

    check out the 'Behr Paint Jobs - show me your MVs...' thread which has many examples of roll jobs. page 68, post 675 and 676 are mine. I painted my m101a2 trailer with Behr Marquee and a roller. even though it was 'rolled', it came out looking like it was 'sprayed' by a pro. do not paint in...

    Best tie down point locations for cargo control for a m101(a2) trailer

    hi. I have a m101a2 trailer that I am looking to configure to haul cargo (on occasion). I am looking for ideas, from people with experience, for the best 'tie down point locations', and hardware, for 'general' cargo control. pics would be great. I have been looking (and searching forums) for...

    Has anyone painted their m101 cover? (with Behr or something else)

    hi. I have 2 m101a2s that I got this year. Both came tan (pic shown), and have tan tarps that were like new (I got lucky). I painted one of them tan again using Behr (based on the excellent advice about Behr on this forum), and with the tan cover that it came with it is good to go. The...

    how level does a m101a2 trailer need to be - realistically

    thanks for all of the replies! as the OP here is what I am thinking after reading all of the replies (for anyone who falls over this thread in the future): 1. being able to swing open the 'side swinging rear door' on the FJ Cruiser is important to me; a higher pintle plate will not allow the...

    how level does a m101a2 trailer need to be - realistically

    hi. Question about how level a m101a2 trailer needs to be - realistically. From what I have read, general rules of thumb are that any trailer should be level, or near level, and it is better nose down than nose up. But looking at people towing all types of trailers on the road, that is not...

    Repaint questions

    use whatever you like. it is America where we have freedom of paint choices :wink: behr is not actually 'house paint' - as people think of house paint from decades ago. the new high end behr paints are designed for use on multiple surfaces - including metal. consider posting pics once it...

    Repaint questions

    I do rolling with excellent results. Use a high quality name brand roller with a short nap. I use 'Purdy White dove' 3/8". as far as CARC vs something like Behr, depending upon what you intend to do with the MV, don't rule out Behr. whatever you decided to use, or who you apply it, good...

    M101A2-A3. Best Overall Military Trailer Ever??

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I painted some more of my m101a2 today with the behr marquee - this weekend I did the underside. still loving the paint. easy to apply; self levels nicely; good coverage with a single coat. nice thing with a good brush and good roller (not the time to go cheap) is that you can do sections at...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I think I remember reading somewhere on the internet that there WAS a magical ingredient used in behr marquee exterior flat (the paint I used) and the ultra plus. Odd, I cannot seem to find that original link right now.... :wink: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/us/pixie_dust...
