These stabilzer legs are attached under the rear of the trailers. One is for an M101 and the other is just the leg with no bracket for an M1102. I want to add the m1102 generator trailer not the standard M1102 cargo trailer.

Keep the stock axles and costs can be kept at a bare minimum. But if you are compelled to do this swap you will need to move the rear spring perches and the shock mounts. But why? The loss of value in a converted 15K M1009 is not worth the effort. But NOT my truck comes to mind. I see $75, 000...

Today I spent a few hours at Penndot getting a title for my M1102 trailer. I planned ahead and stopped by a person's garage and picked up some nice M1102 tailgates and 2 stabilizer legs. Facebook market has been a great source for scoring some odd parts. I do some investigating and question...

And I doubt it needs re-cored. I suspect it can be repaired. Radiator shops are far and few between. I have one locally and it is 3rd generation and the man that runs it now is my age. When he retires, I doubt that trade will be picked up by anyone else. Some trades are just fading away.

Anyway. We are getting off track here. This is my project and I will post progress as it happens. Good Luck. I was just ribbing you about getting approval. Most things I do are NOT approved or they wouldn't get done. Most people wouldn't spend the time I do on some of my projects. Take Care.

Get the radiator repaired. A complete recore cost $600.

(hence Bride's approval) Not a good thing to get (approval) has been my experience after 35 years of marriage. If I got approval for everything I bought and sold I would have 1 vehicle and live in a development. But after 35 years my bride likes the results because we both made decisions on our...

I spent the entire evening after work looking for shims. I didn't find them. I did find a neat set of LED taillamps. I never used them on a trailer because they have LED B/U lamps. They would look great on an M1031 or an M1010.

WOW. Must be a special unit that you can see the exterior panels from the inside. All of my CUCV's have/ had 2 steel walls in all the outer panels. Fixing it on the back side wouldn't make it much easier. But replacing every rusty panel on an old CUCV can get pricey and labor intense. Good...

WOW, Getting the Line X off the entire vehicle will be a challenge. I think it was never clean and rust free before the Line X was applied. That is the standard operating procedure for most paint jobs I see. Getting the surface rust free and sealed would be my first goal. But being covered in...

I would have made better progress tonight, but I was unable to locate my body shims. I did get 2 fenders attached. The fenders are not adjusted but I have all the bolts started. That is an accomplishment for 1 night. Take Care.

I hope you mean valve cover gasket. Many things to leak up top. Vacuum pump, sending unit, valve covers. But yes, oil leaks are hard to find. Not always. I would pull the engine and change all the gaskets if it were bad enough.

Don't you recover the fluid. I use a mighty vac brake bleeder and I recover all the fluid. I just bought a large bottle of DOT 5 for trailers and CUCV's it was $27. , That is the correct fluid and I have no choice. At one time I had a 5 gallon pail of DOT 5 that was outdated. I used it for 20...

I ran the Goodyear MTR Kevlar on my M1009's for many years. It is my opinion that they are the perfect tire for the M1009. And I had many people tell me they liked my M1009. Take Care I ran several sets till they were bald, and I can say I never had a flat tire.

Take me to that special place. My M1009 Mule 6 years ago 2016.

Get the radiator repaired. It can't be anything major.

This is my updated lighting. This trailer is only in the design phase. I am replacing all the LED lighting except the 3 LED lights under the rear angle. I plan on using small LED clearance lamps. These big clearance lights are prone to breakage and the front corner lights are ridiculously low...

I will just paste this picture here. My Son had just arrived back from Iraq, he and his friends went wheeling. This how the M1028A1 was when I was called to pull it out. He was fearful it was going to roll and wanted Dad to be there so I could get it out of the hole with no damage. The winch...

Today after work I decided to replace the kinked brake line. Yea I guess that was bit kinked. It is horrible how poorly these trailers are handled. I decided the B/O taillamps had to go. I am not wiring it for a military plug so they will serve no purpose. I am going to use lights similar...
