I thought it was too cool to keep from my fellow SS members.
He bought a "frankenstined" M105 and rebuilt it into a great
Little trailer for behind his toyota FJ.

I think he did a great job.
I will now look at the 105's in a different light.

Looks like he washed it with too much hot water. LOL. Smaller than a 101, larger than an M416. It's the M105 Less a half.

If your the type of person that has the skills and tools I say why not? Looks good and a job well done.

If your the type that puts a dollar amount on your own time and labor then yes a 101 or 416 is probably cheaper.

Wonder where that one came from. I'm not seeing anything about it that says M105. Someone had a lot of fun with it, but with new light wiring, new axle and electric brakes, different bed, and paint, that one would go for 4Xs a M105.

Nice job.

Depends on who owns it. It took alot of work (the bed is cut down). But, I would think it's way too heavy for the size of the box. I'd rather have a M416.

Thanks for posting that one. Your good to have around Harleyhouse. You put a lot of time into the forum. I appreciate it. [thumbzup]

I've spent more time and effort looking for specific things. Sometimes you have the itch and need to just get the job done. I'd be proud of that one.

I like it! That's a great combination (but hardly fits M-105 category any longer). Modifications like that are certainly a lot of work but definitely worth it to the owner!
