I like that there are a few that got trailers about the same time and moving along with the paint and repair. But hey I just found my second M101 and it is ugly. Actually found it same time as the one I just got from GL but finished the deal for it this morning. It was a Forest Service trailer...

I really don't think this tip is for people buying off of GL and able to get either a Statement of Title or the SF97. I was looking at a 1967 M101 A1 that the owner purchased at a Forest Service auction 10 years ago. He never registered it and no longer has any of the paperwork, so that means a...

I can't tell you how many times I have had stuff come back from rebuild in worse condition then it went in. I once got 10 trucks back and 8 of them had been plumbed backwards. I hope that they just inverted the relay or that you had the lines swapped. Good luck with the fix.

I like the FMTV family but the wrecker is a little light duty. The one main issue I had with them was when they convert from the standard cab to an Up armored cab. The cab lift system was not upgraded for the massive weight gain and we would have issues with the hinges, pumps and the cab catch...

One reason I am going to swap entire axle with one that has electronic brakes(and lug pattern to match my truck). Should save a lot of weight. I will also see if I can locate the proper specs for the lock out pin at work tomorrow for those that want to run them still.

Harley very nice build, really like where you are going with it. Mine wont move at the pace of yours but will still try to go at a nice pace.

Well the trailer I won is OD green however if I paint either to match I will most likely go Desert Tan.

I have a 98 4Runner on 33's with 3" lift, custon bumpers etc. etc. Waiting for the pictures to make it from my phone to my computer and will post one or two. Sits nice and level with the 235/85's. Now I am even more excited about getting mine. It may be a while before I get my trailer but of...

Well Brown Santa(UPS) was good to me today and my Pintle receiver hitch just got here. I got my Curt receiver mount Pintle off Amazon for $51 so have been getting good deals last week. I still have two 101's in my Motorpool/ dirt lot awaiting turn in(all the rest have been turned in) so am going...

Bob, I have towed these trailers and just about every other one the military has in current inventory on highway and off-road over the past 22 years to include overseas. The plan for mods will come later on after a couple of trips and will see how it performs and which direction I really want...

Also the reason for wanting electric over the surge is I plan on pulling this off road on some difficult trails. The surge brakes will be constantly activating while going over rock steps and not always at the correct time. The electric brakes will be better suited for this type of terrain. If I...

Ok try these pictures. Also did you tow it all the way home without a plate or temporary permit? That is the one thing I am concerned about is trying to tow it home without having it registered. Since they don't issue a SF97 until you remove it from the property according to GL. Also you said...

Bob, Thanks for the information. Yeah Barstow would be my closest one but I have been watching these off and on for a few months. I then saw this one at Nellis and figured if I could get it a little cheaper it would be worth the drive. I think the ones that were at Barstow this same auction...

Should I expect it to take the 60 days for the EUC to clear since it is my first one? I am crossing my fingers that it will be faster since I am headed to Nellis in September for business and would like to pick it up then instead of having to schedule a seperate trip. Also do you think it would...

Here are the pictures from the auction. Oh and I won with bid of $210.

Ressoldier M101 A2 slow Expo/ Bse Camp trailer build. Well I just won a M101 A2 on GL from Nellis. This is my first MV purchase and finding out that it may take a while before I can pick it up with EUC etc. Anyways I plan on pulling this as an off-road camp trailer being pulled behind my...
