yeah, i knew it had been done with the surge brakes, but didn't know if it had been done on the a1's. I guess I'll get it up on the jacks this weekend and try it out. Do you still have the landing leg from the A2? If yours was a crank down I'd love to buy it from you...

So I purchased a used m116a1 for like $150. It didn't have any lights when I bought it, but the PO found the lights. The harness was all gone, as are the hand brakes and all that. Sucks major, but so be it. So yesterday I was underneath for the first time running wires to the back. Got the...

you have to remember, these things are solid, so you can have a trailer from the 60's that looks like new. A lot of them have sat in the truck depots with not a whole lot of use or just got rebuilt. My 116a1 is OLD and you can tell it's old, but if I put new wheels and tires on it and painted it...

I have a 6500lb allowance for the trailer, 11,000lbs gross total. A separate brake system for all trailers weighing over 1,500 pounds gross is recommended. (State laws should be checked for trailer brake requirements.) 1000lbs is required in NY, and 1500 in a few states. 3,000lbs in most states...

yeah my other issue is that they are old and starting to crack.... Didn't know about the weight allowance, but I've had it loaded up to about 2500lbs and it brakes no problem. Big jeep though not a wrangler

I have an ebrake controller in the jeep, so could get a new axle with E-brakes. I don't have parking brake handles/rods or any sidemarker lights, so I need to start piecing all of that together. Don't need or want surge brakes on there since it won't weigh enough to really need them, and it will...

technical instructor at NC State Goals are to be able to carry a couple of bank bottles, mount a portable compressor if needed *very rare we have to bring it, but it happens*, then have a slide out drawer the full length of the box for gear, and a slide out kitchen type thing. Rooftop tent on...

need to finish this project up, then I'm hoping to get an old M37 or something similar as a project truck. I'm turning this into a scuba trailer with a RTT on it. The bed already had a bunch of stuff/rails welded onto it, so was already altered.

well that would explain why it doesn't swivel... This is my first military vehicle adventure, so learning a whole lot. These trailers are brilliant though

no, i had read that they swivel so that they will follow the pintle when off road. Figured I'd see how easy it was actually supposed to rotate

how easy is the lunette ring supposed to turn? I have an M116a1 and am in the process of rebuilding it, but was stuck trying to turn the lunette. I know it's supposed to go, but put a 3 foot pipe wrench through it and it wouldn't budge. Figured I'd ask before I go and try to break the whole...

wish you were closer to NC. I've been looking for one of those for a while. I have an M116A1 that I want the 8lug axle for. No need for the brakes, just want the axle for ease of wheels and tires...

I put a few extra reverse lights on mine where the reflectors go. Works just fine for me, between that and the backup lights on my jeep I haven't had a problem yet. Then again, the better half will usually run out before i can screw up too bad
