I have my first shelf unit in place and test fit with various sizes of ammo cans. The shelf Is Muscle Rack brand. It measures 30" wide x 12" deep x 60" high. It has chrome wire shelf inserts. There are Plastic caps on each uprigght to prevent cutting into the tarp. I shortened each post by 3"...
Thank you for thinking about my well being. I am okay albeit a bit sore. I am very cognizant at what might have been the outcome.
At first, I was not going to post the photos. I am still embarrassed that I did not use the rear bed support knowing full well it was there. I had not deployed...
It's not what I did do, it's what I didn't do....
I was inside my M105, sitting atop the ammo boxes, trying to install shelves. I slid some small ammo cans onto the tailgate* and that was all it took. It was one heck of a ride.
Lesson learned: I won't forget the outrigger again.

I installed LED tailights and magnetic LED towing lights. I first mounted incandescent trailer lights but I could not see them when lit in the daylight. I figured that if I could not see them others would have the same problem. I can see the LEDs. They are bright (and submersible). The tow...
Like m715mike, I had no idea what the ECU referred to nor its purpose mounted on the trailer. After researching it I was able to see photos of it all in use, I now understand that the package provides cool or heated air to a tent through large flexible tubes. The tent then providing relief from...
I put my flags out by my trailer. I think my trailer likes to see the flags for what they represent as much as I do. I painted a 5/8" x 4-3/4" clevis pin that I'll be using with my new safety chains. I painted my new 2-5/16" coupler following M813rc's advice. In 2035 I will revive these posts...
I'm in Woodward County. I don't have any vehicles left and the one trailer (an M105)* I have is being altered slightly for use for misc. hauling and a sometimes coyote hunting blind. That said, I am having fun toying with the trailer.

Works in progress -
2-5/16" coupler and MRAP steps. I wanted a primer coupling so I could paint it but it was $30 more. I'm not sure if paint will stick to the black powder coat? The 2-5/16" coupler will give me more options for moving the trailer.
I can't lift the steps (122 lbs) so I am...
My tire has a new tube and the wheel is back on the trailer. My assistant had to work today so I improvised again and got it done by myself*.
* = I used Coug's suggestion about using a lawn mower ramp to assist. Going downhill worked well for me.
Total expenses = $83 for labor and tube at the...
