Thanks, as far as weight, the trailer is data plated at just over 2 ton, The shelter is plated as 2 ton w/ all of the equipment installed. I'm guessing maybe 1 ton empty. You're pretty good at asking me about things in the corners of my pics, guess I'll have to pay more attention to my cropping...

So first thing for me was to make a deck so that I didn't kill myself climbing up and down on the trailer. Had a bunch of wood that I'd resourced, so I made a short porch. :) After the basics are done I'll come back and make it so that it will slide out that extra 5' when I extend the...

The Draggin's pretty happy w/ that much weight in the back, . . . it's me. I get out running these dirt roads and tracks around here, then all of a sudden I'm like "chit my stuff is in the back!!!" Usually right after I hop it over some rut or ridge! Now that we're back to it just having the...

Thanks, . . . now quit smiling at me like that ;) For me this is the frustrating part. I'm not a metal worker, I just see how I want it to be and then spend a bunch of time annoying my friends while they work :)

It's finely going to happen, I'm getting the shelter off the back of the Draggin'!!! Been planning this for awhile and I think it'll be easy and smooth. I roll over to a buddie's shop. He's been doing all the work on the trailer and today we'll see if all our measuring, and planning, and...

Got some wheels and tires. Finely it's on both axles. (this was before the building move) Also primed the new metal. Then it was time to move all my camping gear out of it so that we could do the transfer w/ it empty.

This is what's been holding up getting the shelter onto the trailer, I had to get this building moved before I could call it off-limits as a work trailer. Once I get the shelter on I'll be stuck w/ it that way until we fab up the lifting legs. Since I'll be rolling most of the summer I'm...

Mounting permanently would be too easy, I'll have to do something difficult 8) If I had it mounted perm, then I would lose the workability of the trailer, . . . and I would have one heavy base for the shelter. The plan is to fab some lifting legs and be able to stand it on & off as needed. That...

Right after all that I had a course that I wanted to take over in the `Zona. So I threw some camping gear in the shelter took off for a quick trip, 2 days going, 3 days there, 2 days coming back :) Now that I had all my crap in the shelter, and wasn't in a hurry to get it out, It was time to...

I did actually get a paint stripper disk for my angle grinder, tested it on a section and will prob go w/ that. Great minds . . .

Removal Time I pulled the power unit out (as you can see from the last post) and started w/ the foam. It didn't take me long to relies that my little paint scraper wasn't going to do the trick. Spent 20 mins w/ it and a hammer to take of a small section :-/ After thinking about what would...

The one thing that I was a bit concerned about w/ living inside a shelter was the lack of windows. I knew that I could cut some out, frame them in, get the right size windows, etc. :-/ The first time I was inside of this one, while everything was closed, I knew it wouldn't be long before I...

Finely found a shelter to use as the live-in box on this trailer. Hauled it back to base camp and started the removal of anything left in it. The shelter it self is in decent shape (only minor fork damage ;) ). The inside still had some of the electrical interface, comm's interface, some...

I'm guessing the M1061 would have the same set up. It seems to be the only other trailer that I've found that shares some things w/ the M796's, like the wheels. Sometimes I have to wonder what it is that has me getting things that are much less common :-/

Trailboss - That's excellent! Thank you. It def looks like the air chambers are not the same as what's on the M105 :( Do you know if the MC's are the same, or if this combo is used on any other trailers? I also see the plate that's missing for the rear MC. That shouldn't be a prob, I could have...

Thanks, but not really. I have the TM's and know where they go, just would like a photo of the little details. It seems like I'm missing a bracket or something. I have a couple MC's that I might rebuild, or pull some off an other trailer, . . . or buy some, . . . we'll see. It also seems like I...

I could really use a photo of the brake master cylinders placement. Like from above w/ the floor plate opened. This one has none and I don't seem to find an image in the TM. Thanks for any help on this.

Back from summer travels, Just so that everyone knows, the 37" radial hmmw tires do NOT fit, the 36" B-ply will (at least that's what others say, I'm still looking for some).

This is what I've learned, The Bias are 36", the Radials are 37". I'll be finding out if 2 of them, the Rad's, will fit. Prob tomorrow.

I just did major damage to my PDF of my Bolster TM :-/ And now I can't find where I got it from . . . help :( Does anyone have a copy, or a link to where it is? Looked in the Trailer TM's, Misc, Present Conflict, etc. Even did some searching. Maybe it's from off-site?
