    Right on! They are the best for storage. I have a few of them now for that purpose.

    M105A2 VME rebuild defect

    I didn't pursue. I considered doing what SEToyota offered, but didn't want to get in a situation where it was so tight getting in, it might rust permanently in place and become non-removeable without destruction. Hypothetical, of course, but I can envision it. It would take a heck of a...

    M105A2 VME rebuild defect

    Right now, I wish I had no reinforcement. Right now, I want to tell you how lucky you are.:beer: I could grind that one out with no problem. I envy you, even though it is something we should never have to do. Good luck with it. I'm breaking out the sawhorses tomorrow and starting some...

    M105A2 VME rebuild defect

    OK, I measured the inside plate, inside the hole, and that plate runs 6" deep. It is what would have to be die grinded with clean right angle edges all the way down the six inches.

    M105A2 VME rebuild defect

    I don't think I can die grind down the full 18" of depth. It runs all the way down the pocket. I'm not sure to tell what kind of stakes they are by name, but I did try two different sets, three actually, of two different types of rails. The only ones I have not tried are the composite rail...

    M105A2 VME rebuild defect

    Anyone notice the M105 VME rebuild trailers won't take siderails? These are beautiful trailers, completely redone, new paint, brakes, tires, glad hands, etc. but there is no way to get your old siderails in there. I measured twice. The widest point is fine. It is the narrower side that is...
