    My SF-97 came today - Now what?

    Washington State people only need reply I bought a m101a2. Just got the SF-97 today from the post office. What do I do next? Do I need to get the trailer inspected by WSP? Or do I just go to my local DOL and say "Gimme title! Gimme plate!" And just in case you were wondering: :lost:

    Searching on GL for Surplus Bows and canvas?

    So, what do I look under, specifically? What catagory? I mean I could spend all day looking under every single catagory for, and I think I did once, but to narrow the search down, where would I narrow the search to? They really don't seem to place them under one, but a couple. Yes, it can...

    Web site changes all the time?

    Not sure if this is the place. But from time to time, I'll refresh the page, I actually just hit the 'New Posts' link, and I'll get the banner ads at the top, and sometimes I won't. Also, occasionally, I'll get a listing of classifieds on the right side as well. And some times I won't. When I...

    Mods to do...

    Okay, so while I want to keep the carrying capacity the same, I want to make my m101a2 tow easier and not be too open to 'Frack! I have to leave it to go get parts, a tire fixed, something else' when using it. So, I do want to keep the brake system, but how do I lower the trailer to level it to...

    Elapsed time for GF-97?

    So how long does it usually take to get one of these from GL? About as long as the 1st EUC? Shorter?

    ? About m105 vs m101

    Will the bows and canvas fit between these two? I'm under the thought the m105 is bigger dimension wise, and therefore, the bows and canvas won't fit. Am I right or wrong?

    So who owns the Deuce in Pt Orchard area?

    I was driving home from picking up some furniture, using my newly acquired trailer, when I drove by a Deuce today, around 2:30ish. Someone on here? The rear of the cab looked kinda funny, Looked like there were all these downspouts turned up and headed out the back of the cab. It just had a bed...

    I'm just curious...

    What makes a duece so valuable? I see prices on GL that seem over the top for 30 year old vehicles that have been God knows where. I can't tell if the miles shown are real. I mean, are they really only showing 72K or is that 172k? The hours don't really help me much on this either. How many...

    School me on Surge Brakes

    While I'm waiting for my SF-97 and plates, getting the wiring done and all, I want to do some really work on the braking system on this trailer. So, how do the surge brakes work? What should I look for in the ways of damage or needs for concern? Because I really haven't looked under the...

    Keep it stock or modify to suit

    So, because I've really not seen any true answers here, and because if I really want to, I can always get another one, is the idea to keep your surplus trailer as stock as possible or to modify it to fit your needs to make it easier for your use? In my case, I'd really like to change the...

    Electrical ?

    Are all the trailer plugs the same. wiring wise? I just got my M1012A home and I printed up a wiring diagram I found in here (Figure 2-57) And it says 'Marker lights'. Does my trailer have marker lights or just reflectors? They sure don't look like lights... I wish this diagram was more...

    Its home!

    Today was the day! I took just about everything, including the kitchen sink. What I actually used? A few ZIP ties, the tire gauge, to check tire pressure, a bungie cord to tie the trailer power cord down, a pin in the surge brake, and the magnetic lights. Only issue: the magnetic lights turned...
