It also may have been used at a High School on base to train dependent kids, I can't think of an easier to drive MV than a M1009...

When I went to Ft. Hood a couple of weeks ago to pick up m101a2 I saw a HMMWV with metal "STUDENT DRIVER" signs hanging on it front and rear driving down Tank Destroyer Blvd with two soldiers in the front and a lawn mower in the back. My camera was not at the low ready so I did not get a pickie

Welcome aboard from Austin! If a Deuce is what you are looking for we can find one for you!

The M105A3 has a GVW more than 4k so it will be titled and registered "former military" (I do not know the annual fee on a trailer, might be $10 a year like a truck), the other ones will need standard trailer plates. A trailer under 4k GVW has no title in Texas but MUST have plates, with the...

How are you going to use the trailer? If it is on Texas roads then it must be registered.

No pintle hitches in Holland? How do they pull heavy trailers behind dump trucks? Do they have exemptions on these inspection points for Historic Vehicles? It sounds to me like they want that truck to meet current commercial vehicle requirements.

Two Deuces and one trailer previously with no sales tax collected, this is new to me too.

I have not registered the trailer yet, that is where the taxes will be taken into consideration. There is a form the Tax Office will use to show the taxes have already been collected, so they will not be collected twice. In my case they collected .5% more than they should have, and they...

Yep, when I picked up my first M101 it had a cover on it and the drag was incredible! I was thinking I had made a serious mistake and that trailer was just too heavy for the M1009, or that my M1009 was not putting out the horses she should, either way I was disappointed. The second one came from...

Does anyone know how much a M101 BED weighs? Just the bed, not the whole trailer. I am trying to determine my total weight before I start the tear down/build process. I think this camper has to be a "weekender" style, with flat panels instead of curved, and all painted plywood. What I WANT is...

Serial#- 56/NW0TT0 Registration#- NONE NSN- 2330011018464 From- Ft. Hood Bumper- 1 MED 502 DC / 502 24T M116A2 trailer with a M101 box on it, same Serial Number on both pieces. Thank You Sir!

I found another clue, the painted over unit markings. These guys were simply the last to use her, so who knows who did the mods...

No tents! I don't have a problem sleeping in a tent, I just hate erecting them! My desire here is to have what amounts to a tent I will not have to pitch, I can pull over and climb in, no assembly required...

I picked up my latest trailer today, a M116A2 with a M101 box on it, and it has some extra "stuff" on it, can anyone tell me what was in the bed? My first guess is a gennie, but the things on the outside and the round thingie behind the little tool box sort of look like antenna mounts. There are...

I picked up the trailer today and it is NICE! Not new by any means, but still too nice to mod. I have decided to build my camper on the other "M101" I already had that is a lot uglier. It is a M116A2 E1 with a M101 box on it, the "E1" is the heavy spring/frame variant rated at 1 ton (off road)...

Welcome to the addiction, there is no cure, and no support group for those trying to quit!

Here are the photos of the cross member as designed by her last owner. The cross bar dovetails into the end piece, and the end piece has a little brace to make it stand up high enough to be flush with the trailer's lip. As you can see the top still catches some water but nothing like it would do...

If I can keep the brakes then I will change the hubs, otherwise I will mount a spare in the trailer somewhere. I fell asleep last night with visions of teardrops in my head:) Now comes the hard part, paying for it!

I like the camper shell idea, though I want to try to make mine lighter weight. That second link baffles me, I keep finding people starting off with a M101 trailer and ending up with almost none of it! After you replace the axle (why I don't know), tongue/lunette assembly, and mod the frame they...

There will not be a bed to fit a camper into, I am going build a box on the bare frame.
