    Re-painting 1998 M101A3

    Looking to re-paint my camo 1998 M101A3 to a desert tan color. Has anyone had any issues painting over the CARC paint using standard automotive grade paint? A local custom paint and body shop would be doing the work. When I mentioned painting over the CARC, he seemed concerned about how the new...

    Converting Grote LED lighting to 12v setup

    I'll try to be a little more clear. The 1998 trailer had the old bulb lights and a wiring harness that looked a little frayed. Put on brand new Grote LED lights and a replacement military wiring harness. All was plug and play and work fine. Installed an adapter (from eBay) that allows me to...

    Converting Grote LED lighting to 12v setup

    Since I am using a Ford F250 Super Duty to pull it, I never get to see the blackout feature, unless I cross the wires; plugging # 21 into #25 if I am correct. I am hoping someone has experimented with this; wiring these lights into a civilian system.

    Converting Grote LED lighting to 12v setup

    I was referring to a 12v civilian wiring harness, instead of the military harness. These Grote lights use 4 wires plus ground for each light.

    Converting Grote LED lighting to 12v setup

    Right now I have a fully functioning M101a3 with brand new 24v wiring harness, Grote 82212 tan bucket LED lights, and an adapter to plug the harness into a 12v system (bought on eBay). The two rear lights are fine, but the wiring system is limiting for adding any side marker lights and rear...

    New Surge Brake questions

    As part of the restoration of my 1998 Schutt Industries M101a3 I have replaced the entire defective surge brake unit with a new one from Balcrank Industries. Decided to go with a new unit instead of just the piston. Got it installed fine, but I notice that the new piston has quite a bit more...

    Easy source for M101A3 Brake Pads?

    A little better analysis on my part with the mentioned thread would have solved my issue...:oops:. I see etrailer.com has the right brake shoes under part # BP04-160. Wearing night vision optics for years while flying ruined the eyesight. OH58D

    Easy source for M101A3 Brake Pads?

    I have a 1998 Schutt Industries M101A3 that I am refurbishing. Pulled the hubs and noticed the left brake pads are cracked; the right pads are fine. Any good civilian source for brake pads that will work including part numbers that are easy to obtain? I did notice the stickey at the top of...

    16x8 Steel Wheels on M101A3

    I'm not changing the H3 wheels; only M101A3 wheels. Want to go with a size tire that matches the H3 for height only. OH58D

    16x8 Steel Wheels on M101A3

    This is my first post on this forum. Proud owner of a 1998 Schutt Industries M101A3. Plan on modifying for use as a motorcycle hauler with elevated fold out expedition tent installed with on top with new elevated steel side stakes. Going to be pulling it with an H3 Hummer or Land Rover Discovery...
