I've finally registered after anonymously reading the forums here for a while and would like to say "hi". My name's Tom and I recently bought my own little bit of OD steel, an M101A1. Its a little beat up but gets the job done, and that's what counts. I've only really used it a couple of times in the month I've owned it; first was to haul 16 8' crossties (very close to the bumpstops and about all my '92 F150 wanted to handle; did alright as long as I kept it under 35mph), then some supplies for work (couple dozen bundles of stakes and rebar; I'm a land surveyor), and most recently, last weekend to help move myself and my roommates's stuff to our new house (which doesn't allow trailers in the driveway 
). Might be the handiest thing I've ever bought! But I may be selling it already because I'm thinking about buying another trailer. This one appears to be in better shape, but I think it might be a M105. It doesn't look like it has the double parking brakes for the dump and does have the large landing gear with a single steel wheel. Is it worth $400? Even if I don't really have enough truck to pull it?

The year before last I spent about a week in the Driggs, Idaho area and had an absolute blast. Jaw dropping scenery, the nicest people, incredible mountain bike trails. Only issue is that everybody else seems to be moving there. Land is just ridiculously expensive most places out west. Seems to be much cheaper in Michigan. I figure I need at least five or six acres to house the workshop and to park all the toys!
