thanks for confirming

Bumping my recent thread to ask: any difference between M1101 and M1102 from a features perspective ? I am aware of the capacities don't think I can take advantage of the the higher load capacity of the M1102 since I will tow with an M1165A1. My vehicle is limited to the M1101 GVW for towing...

@daelivingforjesus very nice build. Did mounting the water tank on the bottom cut the ground clearance by a significant amount?

I'm reassembling mine for summer 4WD season and looking for inspiration. What tools and spares are you carrying?

Same with M1101 trailers, some weeks there are dozens and other weeks only a few. You just need to be patient.

Injuries are reportedly minor, thankfully. Happened in Bellingham Washington. (Didn't realize this was already posted and it's a JLTV. Oops) https://x.com/wspd2pio/status/1921308141058232449

If you ditch the two piece 16.5" rims for some 17" GT Cepeks then you'll have a wealth of tire choices.

Quite a few that have tags and I know of two that have licenses issued within the last year.

There used to be a couple over by Palmer Point in Cos Cob and they both had Connecticut plate. So as of maybe 4 years ago - yes.

New York is green, the DMV will plate a HMMWV.

Necessity being the mother of invention, I guess

Black Dog only sells the proper Wellman ones, so that's how you know without measuring. Had he said "certain other vendor" who I shall not name, I'd say that was the issue.

I'm going to trailer it off the lot on a car trailer that I use to move the HMMWV, so not worried about out-of-the-gate stuff. I can troubleshoot that at home. Just worried about buying a lemon or a dog. PS CSp is 6 hrs from me the other way, so you are way the heck into KS by my standards.

Thanks. Had seen yours and they are nice but they are at my "local" GP which makes it easy to run down and grab one. (Local = only a six hour drive) I figure I will take a pair of tires off my second truck to get the trailer home, then jack up the trailer until spring when I can get new tires...

I am thinking of getting one of the M1101 trailers that govplanet sells. The goal would be to modify into an overland camper with kitchen and permanent pop-up tent. I would appreciate any advice on particular pitfalls to avoid in terms of buying one out of the auction. I am aware the tires...
