Some of that self-sticking thick foam weather stripping might work on the sides and top of the tailgate, but the sides and bottom of the tailgate would still have gaps. Actually, I guess you could also put weather stripping there also. I haven't run into dusty conditions yet that a tarp over...

Thanks, Mark. I've followed your build and the ones on Expedition Portal and picked up lots of ideas, but I'm trying to keep the trailer original (I still have the regular tires). I don't know why exactly, since there are so many of these trailers out there, unlike the M416 and M101a3...

Yeah, that plug holder bracket will have to go. I was looking at putting a box there, but that would be a good place for a water jug. I want to keep close to the original military look with the cover, so I'll just have to deal with the dust.

That's a nice adjustable leg, but a permanent leg would make it harder to slide the table into the trailer or slide other things on top of it when it's laying on the floor. It would also be harder to flip the table and use on the other side.

Shakedown cruise completed during the LA Rally this weekend. Photo of the rigs on the way to the Rally. The trailer is still higher at the front due to the truck lift, but it is not as bad as before I added the HMMWV tires. When I hitched up for the rally, I discovered that I had robbed...

My M105 had 4 water can holders, and the M1101 has one water can holder on the tongue. My M101 doesn't have a water can bracket, but I'm about to add two water can holders on the rear of my M1031 CUCV. So far, in warm/hot weather, a 5 gallon water can is good for 2-3 days for washing and...

Since I lost so much space moving down from the M105 and M1101 trailers to the M101, I was looking to see how to store all my supplies and equipment. Still using scraps of wood from that sheet of plywood, I figured I could put up a shelf between the front two bows in the trailer. I had one...

I had most of a sheet of CDX sheething plywood, so decided to make a kitchen work table to go on the trailer today. This is some rough wood butchering with a skill saw, but I wanted something quick for evaluation for the maiden voyage to the LA Rally in 3 days. Worked out really well. I had...

Actually, I'm not doing much building, just some subtle modifications to a M101A2 trailer to make it a little more useful for camping. I have used a M105 trailer to camp at the LA rally for several years, and it's great pulled behind a Deuce/5-ton, but I don't want to drive a Deuce or 5-ton 8...
