M101a2 trailer modifications I've done

[gimpyrobb]

I think I posted pics of adding E-track to my one trailer in another thread, but I will post the pics here too. One of the biggest improvements I've done is adding the E-track. I now have infinite strapping points for any cargo I might load. When mounting the track, I also put boxed aluminum tubing I had sitting around under the top rolled edge of the trailer. This stiffened the edges considerably, I can now use come-a-longs to pull loads in to the trailer, or sideways if needing to pack more stuff in the bed.

I just recently got some tailgate racks for a great price and decided to replace the ones on my tan trailer that were bent to heck and back. It really makes the trailer look nice! I decided that since I use my trailers so much, I would add a set of gates to the front side where the "A" frame is. Yes I can swing that long gate open, but often it hits the tailgate on my truck. Not real happy when it does that.

I also have a Ruger Industries crane I will be adding to the trailer somewhere. I have not got that one figured out yet, so here are some pics of what I've done so far.

Another great idea, where do you get them all from?

Looks good Tater. I need to find material to reinforce the front lip of my M101A3E1. It's been tweaked a time or two too many. I dumped the HMMWV rubber for stock CUCV stuff. Works great.

I got them from Kipman. He should have a classified up soon. I might have some going to the Ga rally too.

Do you have to use those ambers when you're using the vice

Yes, he needs them when he is drinking. To warn him about crushing his fingers.........

If that is what he is using them for then I should have sent him 4 of them........

Looks good. I added 20' of E Track to my 101 as well.
