Thanks guys.. I appreciate the responses and advice. Has been a long day today, sorry I didnt respond earlier. Not sure what I am going to do. Might just add the external B&M trans cooler and pull the m101a2 trailer to see how it works. I have a feeling it will be fine, and if not, then I...

Thanks! Yeah... I do have a New in Box B&M Trans cooler (11.5"x7.5" with bypass for colder weather) that could definitely go on the 1009 if I end up getting one. That was the plan anyway. Refering to the 3.08 gear... I was wondering about swaping them out not only for towing torgue but for off...

Guys... I am looking at possibly buying a M1009 and have a few questions about re-gearing to trailer friendly gear. I have searched the forum for several hours and read everything about M1009 towing capacities, Bumper mounted hitch etc. I have an M101a2 that I want to use to haul hunting gear...

I completely agree... Harley... I may try to duplicate what you have done with the hitch. May have more questions once I start.. Thanks for the post! Jeff

Yep... That is what i am thinking as well. Even at 1340lbs, the trailer seems to be much heavier. I have pulled plenty of loaded trailers with my truck and it has always worked well, but for some reason the A2 just seems unusually heavy. As I said, the trailer is in great shape... I will...

OD Dave... Yeah.. I have read up on some other forums about swapping axles, adding 2" ball etc. I am not interested in the 2" ball as this trailer will see its fair share of off road use. As I am sure you already know, the lunette is superior for off road use. If you have pics of the guy's...

Dlittle... I am pretty sure that the Surge assembly and HD Military axle assembly, brake parts etc are quite a bit of weight. If I swapped out the Mil axle for a 3500lb trailer axle I am pretty sure I would be getting rid of quite a bit of weight. Maybe I am wrong... The trailer will be...

I just looked at it again... The lunette ring is part of the surge assembly. I see no way that it can be used without the surge assembly. Not sure if it makes any difference, but I believe I have the A3 landing leg (Adjustable by cranking).

1st.... Thanks Ripcord.... 2nd... Is this possible? Looking at the a2 it looks like the Lunette is part of the surge assembly? If I am wrong, I feel really dumb right now.. ha ha ha... Thanks Jeff

Guys... I have an M101a2 and want to take off the surge brake actuator/lunette assm. and replace it with a M101a1 Lunette assembly. First off, is this possible? Are the two assemblies interchangeable without modification? I am thinking of swapping the axle for a lighter civy axle with...

Thanks Robb... PM sent...

BobUSNR. Thanks. I appreciate the offer.... Seems like too long of a drive for me, and more time than I want to spend getting a trailer. I appreciate it though. Ratch... I am looking at getting 1980's "Or Newer".... Believe me, if I can find a good 90's vintage or be lucky enough to...

Another good idea.... Going on my list. Thanks

Thanks guys... I feel better already. It appears that they (GL or the DoD) has taken the EUC requirements off of the A2 trailers. The A1 still needs the EUC but for some reason the A2 doesn't. If no EUC is required, I would probably want to pick up the trailer shortly after I win the...

Trailer looks good!!! Like with you did with the hitch.

Wow... sorry guys... I just re-read my post and realized I asked ALOT of questions... sorry about that!! Jeff

Hello.. New guy here looking for advice, suggestions, and opinions on a possible recovery from GL. I have been lurking around the SS site for the last few weeks and want to say that you guys have a REALLY informative forum here!!! I have searched the forum on an off for the last few weeks...
