Been about a month since my last update, but we got a few things done. Finally got my registration and license plate. That in and of itself took 3 weeks. Being that I bought it out of state, never titled since it was NOS, etc... It took a little while. O well, that is done, so on with it. I...

I agree to a point. Backing up, and up a hill is a pain. And, there are certain downhill obsticals that require to, or are better to manually control a bit of drag in the brakes as you slowly decend. I've been on many wheeling outings with offroad trailers, and electric brakes shine in certain...

These are the wheels and tires I plan to use. Same as on my truck. They are factory Ram Power Wagon wheels. This way I can have one spare on my truck and a spare on the trailer, and if needed, I have two spares when we are nowhere near civilization. Which is the purpose of this build. Completely...

LMAO! rofl You may be more right than you know. I guess I will find out today. Jason

Thank you sir! I plan on eventually moving over to electric if I can find something that allows for the hand brake and electric control while keeping the same bolt pattern. I would like it so I have lockup controls when going over obstacles when manual control is desired. And the integrated...

By the way... Got a chance to bleed the brakes and install new fluid yesterday. All looks good now. I will be pulling the hubs and repacking/checking bearings today. Jason

The top is made by Tradesman Truck Tops/Access Manufacturing out in California. Tradesmantruck dot com if you want to look at their site. And I agree, it does look like the rear of an H1. A lot actually. Thanks sir. LOL... I plan on using it in January when we go hunting as well. It won't...

The top was made by a company called Access Manufacturing/Tradesman truck tops @ http://tradesmantrucktops.com And I agree, it does have to look of the rear of an H1. Very similar in fact. LMTV is on the list of things I would like to purchase in the future. They are very cool rigs. Post up...

Haha... Awesome! Well me too. I joined here so I can figure out the maintenance side of the trailer, and get that all sorted before moving on. There is a TON of good info on here. I will make a thread on EP as well.

Thanks! I am excited about it. Should be a really neat build. I need to check the hubs and do basic brake maintenance, but otherwise it is a very clean NOS trailer. Still trying to figure out how to adjust the hand brakes.

First post newb here. I just picked up an M1101 to build out into an offroad camper. I plan on building a roof rack, and then adding a large RTT with annex, along with two 180 degree awnings. Should be a cool build. It will hold all our camping equipment, shower, porta potty, kitchen with...
