Today I brought home an M149A2, The previous owner had taken good care of it and with minimal rust (stored in the Nevada desert) it should restore nicely. At some point prior to the guy I bought it from, someone had removed all of the data plates and cut off the air brake hoses. The drive home...

Looking forward to seeing what's inside your treasure box! If you do go the kitchen rout and need Cambro boxes or liquid containers, I have a ton of spares. Also have a few spare MBU's, utensils and many other items (although no spare griddle screens). I have a friend that lives nearby so I may...

Thanks all......might be acquiring a water buffalo in a couple of weeks and was doing as much reading as I can find in here. You guys are an amazing source of knowledge!

Curious about that bolt, can you share what it was called and what size it was? Maybe a link to buy one? Thanks

Okay....I will look some more...that weird though as even the vehicles typically use the same numbers for service tail lights, blackout lights, etc. I'll respond if I find something

I have never owned a 1082 trailer, but just about all of them are going to be the same as the military keeps it simple. Try this one from an M100...it may be what you need, or enough to get your wires in order

There are several military restoration places on the web that have NOS parts for those things as well as reproduction parts that cross over to the jeeps that pulled them. I have rebuilt several of these and if you search a little, you can find the parts to finish it off. If you have specific...

Thank you Chief_919...write up was spot on and your links helped me purchase the correct parts the first time around. I completed the conversion on my M103A3 (MKT trailer) in just a few hours of work which included removing the air system, building a bracket for the electric actuator...

Some great information Mike, thank you. It was a last minute decision, and of course once I got started, I had kids running back and forth getting things I needed LOL. it was pretty comical. I had not yet put all of the utensils in it yet, no containers, and no spices (salt/pepper) or oil/lard...

So after a few weeks of tracking down parts, converting to LED lighting, and converting the trailer to electric over hydraulic braking (for now, but keeping the parts for reconversion back to air over later if I can secure a 5 ton!) I finally decided to cook breakfast for dinner. Using Mikes...

awesome.....mow I need to find one for me

I have never found anyone that does reproduction M416 tubs, but you can still get repo tubes for M100/Bantam trailers. They are not the same size as the M416 is 2 inches wider at the bottom (39 m100 versus 41 inches M416 if my memory serves me well). I think there may be some folks doing panels...

Today I changed out my rear tail lights and converted them over from 24 volt to 10-30 v LED. Knowing what a pain California is I may also add side mark lights in place of the reflectors (or leave those and add marker lights for serious side overkill). I will try and get some pictures up later...

Glad to hear you got it sorted out. Would love to see pictures of the end results.

Hello All.......been lurking for a few years and finally joined all the fun. I recently acquired an MKT-85 at a GP auction and have begun the painful process of trying to piece it all back together, I cant complain because other than no MBU's, I had just about everything else. During my research...

I received an upgrade kit I ordered and installed it today...all V3's now : ) As far as the MKT, I believe it was upgraded in 2014 as I found some paperwork that said work was done. Super happy as it had most everything in it and some of the items were not even opened. Mike, is it common for...

Thanks Mike for all the advice and information. I only ran them a few minutes to see them all working in unison. Figured out how to do the video via YouTube so I will do a walk around once I get done. Also, thumb drive went out today.
