Since it applies, I gather this is what someone was talking about in controlling sway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQQkc8iWIg4

In reference to the tongue weight, since I forgot to say something about it... What I read about tongue weight, was 12% ideally. Use a scale to measure it... I have a shipping scale I use, which cost me about $25. It will weigh up to 350 lbs I think it is. Calculate the entire weight of the...

Recently I went camping and I took concern with the weight displacement to include the tongue weight. Couple of my friends hacked on me a bit for it... No biggy, my trailer. Load it how I want. However, just curious. Are you more the chuck it all in and go? or Do you make an effort to ensure...

Thats when I first got it...

For whatever reason I cant add the pic to the site or through URL... Uhg... Ill link them, am I allowed to do that? http://www.ablesentry.net/index.php/gallery/image?view=image&format=raw&type=img&id=598...

Id add a pic, but the site isn't letting me...

Drove about 45 minutes away, and she hauled fine... Now I need to start looking things to do to her. Change out Brake Lights to LED Install LED Lights into interior Axle/ Hubs/ Wheels/ E Brakes Remove Lunette and install coupler (Maybe... This is purely for weight reduction) Remove Front...

That picture is funny... You could almost put that liberty in the trailer

I cannot find much info on pull weights tonnage etc... Its a 3.3L V6 and supposed to be able to pull up to 5000 lbs What thinks you all? Buddy of mine is about to possibly sell his trailer to another buddy of mine... Want to make sure he can haul it for him.

I do intend to attach it myself. Though I am still working on getting the jack stands and jack high enough to be able to lift it... I suppose I can roll the old axle to the rear of the trailer so I can just roll the trailer away from it once installed. How heavy are the original axles?

That's actually the pintle I have... Im not certain about switching out the pintle and lunette right now.. It was going to be a later project for sure. I have even chilled out on the axle a little till I can find someone to do the work that's a little less a dick.. One guy is telling me 275 and...

My Tahoe has 5 lug wheels not 6. As for the hitch, I had read somewhere that the coupler was safer for driving... There is another connection I have looked at though. My Tahoe is not a 4X4, so I wont be doing a lot of off road action with the trailer... I did think about the bolt on landing...

I think ill be loosing that ability when I put electric brakes on it...

No, 5 on 5" Wish I had 6 lug

I'll run with that for now... One thing I am thinking about, is the guy I purchased the trailer from was unaware that the levers on the front of the trailer were parking brakes... Makes me wonder how much he used it with them on. Which is where they were when I purchased it.

Adding this for the next new guy. http://miscpartsmanuals2.tpub.com/TM-9-2330-202-14-P/TM-9-2330-202-14-P0179.htm

Wheel Bearings Etc Oh Boy, I am going to attempt tomorrow to open up the hub etc... I am wanting to have an axle swap done by Nov, but just in case I should make sure the current axle is usable in the event I cannot complete the swap... Should I need to replace any Bearings or seals (Not sure...

I keep forgetting to re add this... I guess my initial post was removed because of the links to the pics. Anywho... I purchased this trailer (M101A1) for $450 from a yard sale... Its a but rusty, but intend to blast it and repaint it. Ill keep the color to myself for now. I have never done much...

Hub to Hub measurement and Spring Centers I found measurements for the Hub to Hub and springs... 63" for Hub to Hub 43 1/8" for the springs I was getting what I believed to be 43 1/3" for the springs... Whats the general consensus?

Every fiber of my being told me that you were messing with me. I thought it was some sort of "Private" joke. Like get the brake light fluid before the lights go bad. Luckily for me, I have older friends who have heard of older vehicles having reverse threads. Sure enough, thanks to the two of...
