With this wacky warm winter weather holding and with shepsjeep riding shotgun we went back to Topeka to fetch my second, 1961 M146 trailer. It is the oldest and best of the 2 I got. Was blasted and painted 2 years ago. inside and out. All the stock mil wiring was removed and replaced with modern civi beakers, conduit and boxes even has a 220 outlet. Like new tires all around and never been on ground spare. Drove 50 out and 55 back. Usual photo op at TEE PEE junction with better picture of the Tee. I am going to turn this one along with the XM818 back to Nam era paint and put all my display stuff inside. The other is for storage till I can get RAYZER up here for a M146 RV make over!

This also came with the armor plate high heels, a little bit bigger foot print and a little less cranking to put the legs down.

That teepee is cool. I have seen it quite a bit on roadtrips with the family. That trailer is nice and will make a great RV. It sure will be tough!

RAYZER I didn't even look at the data plate when I was doing inspections and was surprised when I got it. No telling where it has been in it's 50 years of service.
Derrickl112 sorry the pictures didn't come out better but winter finally hit here yesterday evening, yesterday was 50 this morning went I went to get pics it's 20 with 2o mph gusts. I didn't set the lens for close up, Duh!
Trailboss I have been waiting about 3 years for mine to come along and real grateful to SHEPSJEEP For letting me store store them out on his farm after I get them loaded up and the roofs resealed.
Also thanks to Flyingvan911 for buying my extra M105 and Aswayze for buying the M105 with CBC as it gave me the cash to get this trailer also made the better half happy as it meets her one in one out rule! Hey 2 went out I guess I still need another!
