    S788 on m1101 +

    That's what I'm thinking, that having it loaded will ride smoother. That same axle in a civilian version would be twice the rating it's tagged with. I found my front two frame pieces. They are 3x7"x1/4"x 10'. It's time to rescue them from the outside and use them. The top of the floor...

    There sure is a lot of variation in the Geithner S-788 and the M1101 & 2 ! Probably width is about the only dim the same, maybe height in the shelter. Are you going to use it for camping, etc? I'm going ahead with making mine longer and as much as possible, look similar to the ADAK that I...

    Here is a tandem using Dexter(s) (leaf spring) under construction to fit a deuce (dump) bed. Put a price on your axle.... someone may snatch it up. I'd love to but would have to trade/barter.

    I worked in mgt/engineering for a company that manufactured torsion axles in Ohio, I think mostly for AirStream. Learning how the rubber is nitrogen frozen and the axle assembly process was quite interesting. My job was moving a hub manufacturing business to the site from Tenn. I set up...

    Yes, adding one 4x4 to the front is probably okay but a second in the rear is getting heavy. The tongue weight gets high with one in front, as there would be no counter-balance. As for CG, the plan is to run two frame members just under, attached to the axle (bolted, not welded). The floor of...

    The trailer was battered on all for corners, mostly at the top and came with two flat un-usable tires. Gimpyrobb helped me out and got it here on his 101 tires on his way to Wisconsin a year back. What a friend! Got a great deal on it and had the tires on it now, here. Nearly all of the...

    Here is the Geithner s-788 shelter that I would like to mount on my modified M1101. I want to add a place for four wheeler or golf cart onto the trailer in front of the shelter. So a new frame will attach to the axle, and to the aluminum frame. Comments please.
