M101a3 trailer build

[BUGOUT2]

This is my trailer project.

 

[1StumpJumper]

I like the HMMWV spare mount.

Looks good! What top is that?

 

[SCM35A2]

Nice!

I see the surge brake assembly is gone.
Did you know you can buy an pintle adapter to fit a 2” ball and keep the brakes?
Or what many others have done, get a riser and pintle receiver.

Adding a bumper, spare tire carrier, wheel (ie..weight) to the back of trailer?
Thats a lot of weight at the very rear.
That will cause towing problems unless you have lots of tongue weight.

Interesting camo pattern too.

More details about the trailer and your plans, etc would be nice.

 

[BUGOUT2]

I built the bumper for the tire carrier because the spare tire is so heavy to lift.

The pintle will be replace with another from E-trailers later. A
battery box will be on the front along with the propane tank and the two jerry cans mounted above.

There will be a pullout kitchen in the cutouts in front, a water holding tank will be mounted below,
solar panels on top and a possible rooftop tent later down the line.


The top is from Reading.

Nice Build

Bugout, I would suggest you blackout your license plate number when posting pictures. I am not worried about any of the SS members but we now live in a wierd world and it is very easy to find out information about you from your license plate.

Sad that the world has come to this now.

Looks a little familiar. I have the same topper on my M101A3. Only pic I can find.

Replaced the battery box with another one from Rigid. The old one is now the storage locker inside the trailer.

 

[BUGOUT2]

Did some painting last weekend.
