    Came up with an easy fix for sagging canvas Trap/Covers that looks correct

    Someone else may have done this but I haven't seen it. The problem with covers on trailers or truck is over time they sag between the bows and they start to hold water and this causes more sagging. I have seen wood, electrical conduit and even plywood on top of the bows but none of them looked...

    Had the Pinzgauer and newly painted M101A2 trailer out today

    Had the Pinzgauer and newly painted M101A2 trailer out today. What do you think? Finally finished up color matching the M101A2 trailer to the pinzgauer. If I could find the Pinz tarp/cover material I would have a new cover made for the trailer but I think it still looks nice and pulls like a...

    Really need help to ID this trailer. It's a real strange one...

    The owner has no idea as to how trailer was setup and it has no data plate. I thought perhaps the box was an early M103 because it had hinged gates at both ends but it seemed too narrow for any kind of 103. I did miss the travel issue with the homemade fenders but I sure see it now. Troop seats...

    New M1101 owner questions

    I used the LED 1156 bulbs that are good from 10 volts to 30 volts and they have worked out very well. Great when switching between a military tow vehicle and civilian truck. You can find them on a popular auction site. Mark

    Wheel Lug Nuts & Studs and Anti-Seize

    Yes, but those wipes are causing huge environmental issues so you may want to go green and use your hand. You could also take the high ground and eat foods that are quickly biodegradable such as sweet sorghum...

    Considering a Pinzgauer... nervous

    Very sorry for your loss. I have also walked in those shoes and it sure is difficult to say the least. Just remember the good times you had and understand it is in the cards for all of us and all we can do is the best we can while we are still here. You WILL put things into prospective but it...

    Bobber with an M332 Ammo bed

    Saw this online and it looked interesting. If the bed and axle were mounted more forward it might look good. Mark

    now this is a camper

    That is the only camper I have seen that lets you can drive down the highway and have other "house guests" have their morning coffee on the porch. I wonder if you could rig a steering wheel and gas/brake pedals on the porch????? That would be cool...LOL It's really too hillbilly for me LOLOLOL

    now this is a camper

    And it looks like bridges and electrical cable are going to be a real problem... Looks like at least 15' I would like to see that video.

    Would you pull a M101A3 with a 04 Nissan Xterra?

    Get shorter wheels/tires (E Rated) and it will match up nicely with your rig. A shorter 16.5" tire is harder to come by than the 16" Mark

    715 found, worth it?

    For my 2 cents if I was in the market for one like that I would say given you info you posted and the pics a fair value would be between $4500 and $5000. Mark

    Paintjob: Solid OD green VS Woodland camo

    The Valspar is two years old on the Pinz and has held up very well but the trucks sits in a garage so it is not exposed to the sun. The Valspar paint is an exterior paint so I would assume it will hold up well. No flaking at all yet and the main thing I like about the paint is it is relatively...

    Paintjob: Solid OD green VS Woodland camo

    My vote is and will always be a solid OD green whatever shade/type you like. A satin/Low-luster will be easier to clean and hold up better than a full flat paint. My M101A2 trailer is going to be matched painted to a Pinzgauer 712M OD which is more to the gray side of green much like the WWII...

    Well in the pure sense I'm sure you are correct but the ones I used look completely acceptable and bright I would add. Thanks, Mark
