    Trailer Brake light mods....

    I have a pair of light housings for sale, $45 for both (plus shipping). I bought a bunch a while ago and used them on my trailers and trucks when I knew that the standard lights would get damaged. These housings are very strong and can protect your lights. They measure 17" long, 3.75" high...

    Towing an M101 with my Crown Vic Station Wagon

    I picked up an M101 with surge brakes and wanted to tow it with my Crown Vic station wagon. I really wanted an M416 but the price for the M101 was too good to pass up. I'm making yet another cross country trip from NJ to NV in a couple months. A couple questions: 1. Any suggestions on towing...

    Just Bought My First M105. Did I get A Deal?

    Try buying an M105 on the west coast. They go fro $400-$1200. For some reason, trailers fetch a lot more out here. I found on the east coast, you can't give away M105's.

    Trailer Advice

    The benefits of towing a military trailer: 1. They can usually carry more than what they are rated for. 2. No need to change the wires, plugs, or bulbs. 3. Most lunettes will be the same height as the deuce pintle. 4. They are really cool. All I own are military trailers and it really makes...

    Trailer Advice

    I've seen very few trailers that would be small enough for a skid steer. I think the closest thing you will find is an M1061 5 ton trailer. They are 14' long, dual axle, air brakes. If you can, find one that has the dropped deck and wheel wells. The deck height is about 12" lower than the...

    Bad IP pump ?

    It's easy to replace the IP pump, just takes a little time and patience. See if you can get the correct wrench to remove the fuel lines. It will make life a lot easier. If I recall, it is a 16mm hex head. I removed an IP from an M1009 in about an hour and a half. Putting it back on was...

    "Expansible Van" Question

    I owned an expansible van body for about a year. I used it for storage. It was a great place to keep things dry. I wound up giving it to another guy to use as storage. He kept it on the ground like I did so he had no use for the stabilizer legs. If anyone is in need of the legs and pads...

    Here's a win-win-win situation: 1. Dig a moat the entire length of the Mexican border. 2. Fill in the Everglades with the removed dirt. 3. Move the displaced alligators from the Everglades into the new moat. EVERYBODY WINS!

    Trailer buying advice needed

    I use my trailer to haul trash to the landfill so it usually has a bunch of garbage in it. Overall, I've found the M101 to be incredibly useful.

    Trailer buying advice needed

    That's a great spot for it but if you ever load your trailer up like I do, then it's very difficult to lift the tongue and put it on your hitch. BTW...very nice looking trailer!

    Trailer brake question...

    That's exactly what I was thinking of doing! I just wasn't sure if there were any other valves, solenoids, or reservoirs in the system.
