Where did you guys get the NATO connectors?

Yes, but how long it takes you to actually get that invoice varies... I've heard anywhere from 10 to 100+ days! :cry: Check out this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/euc-help/55550-euc-clearance-time-prior-buyers.html

Here's my experience: I won an M101 2 weeks ago, and just got an email saying that I have until tomorrow to re-submit my EUC with changes or face losing the item and paying a 25% fee. Realistically, I expect to wait around 2 months before I can pick up my trailer. 2cents

It's easy to WIN an auction, it's a LOT harder(for me) to muster the patience to wait out the EUC process.

The TM is here: http://old.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=pagesetter&type=file&func=get&tid=1&fid=file&pid=61 I found it on this page: Steel Soldiers :: Military Vehicles Supersite

Thanks for sharing your experience/technique.

Yeah, eventually that's what's going to happen. I just wanted to be as informed as possible when I get there.

My pocketbook is liking what you guys are saying.

Thought about DIY, since I'm sure this won't be the last time I need something sandblasted. I don't want to mess with the CARC dust. There are already 3 people with lung cancer in my family, I don't want to be #4.

I think I'll sandblast, prime, then line-x. I got a quote for $200 for sandblasting the interior of the cargo body. I told the guy it's roughly the size of a full size truck bed. Does $200 sound right?

Thanks guys, do I need to prime it after sandblasting? Or will line-x work with just the bare metal?

I'm planning on getting an m101 trailer, and having the bed sprayed with line-x. Are there additional steps that the line-x guy has to take in order to prep the trailer? I doubt he's had much experience with CARC specifically, and I would like to know if I should get it sandblasted, and primed...

Weren't you worried about the trailers sliding left/right when you made a turn? You only seemed to strap them to keep them in place during starting/stopping.

Alright, so I downloaded the TM, but only found the overall width, and the width of the flat bed. I'd like to know the width of the actual frame itself, anybody have any idea what that number is?

I hate bringing these old threads back to life, but this is pretty close to what I want to do: a M101A3 or M105 cargo body on an M116A2 chassis. Does anyone know if either a M101A3 or M105 cargo body will fit on an M116a2 chassis? I'd rather just get a full blown M101A3, but the M101A2's are...

Thanks for the information, that's awesome! Now all I need is to actually get an m101a2. :p

That's not the standard m101a2 axle, is it?

Thanks, that should save me a few $. I'd like to have the trailer, "in hand," before I go out to get anything that I may not need.

OK, a little more searching and I found the answer: 45" Looks like I'll be waiting for an m101a3!

Guys, For an m101a2, I'd like to know: E.) Width between wheel wells Thanks!
