GL charged me Diesel tax on both trailers.
Took weeks to get it refunded.
Initially, they couldn’t understand why I was complaining.
Yea.
Wished I would have bought several more.
Oh well.......hindsight is 20/20
Luckily I have one for ranch work and my other is for a future camper build.
Had 2.1 tons of gravel in my tan M101A2 Monday.
Handled it no sweat.
Axle bumpers were about 1 1/2” from frame rail.
Forgot to take a pic.
Fantastic trailers.
The two that I have came from same place and time period.
$200 each. Two different auctions.
No damage, except for a busted light and trailer cable.
Usual surface rust but no rot.
One had tons of goodies, including a brand new camo cover.
Kicking myself for not getting more.
Thought two...
Saw the post and was also having almost same issue.
Always worse when windows rolled up because of air pressure inside.
Already had PEX on hand in red and blue. Used Red.
Took less than 10 minutes
Problem solved.
It will never close like a Cadillac, but it’s 100% better.
Worthy of a...
They also look funny behind a CUCV.
Now if I still had my M998A1 then I would be interested in them.
I don’t, so I’m not.
This thread isn’t a debate between the two trailers.
Each has their pros and cons.
Was hoping there was a fiield full the M101A2/3s sitting somewhere waiting for...
Exactly the info I was looking for.
I knew when I was at RRAD and didn’t see a single one......that wasn’t good.
Of course there they would probably scrap them.
Plural?
1500lb axle is way light on a trailer that weights almost that empty.
Almost all private ones I’ve seen have been jacked with in one way or another.
Hence....Wanting it straight from Military.
That’s my personal preference.
Around here, the prices are always much higher than auction prices.
I’ve seen some good deals but in the wrong areas.
Transport costs kills the deal.
I think it’s a little more in depth than just the column switch.
Search the forums as it’s been covered in detail before on what exactly you need to do.
I can find them for sale from private sellers all day long.
I’m talking about government (Military) owned ones that come up for auction.....or used too.
I don’t “need” another one, I “want” another one and prefer my rolling stock straight from Military, not private owners.
That’s just me...
Didn’t see that one.
Maybe their like the 5 tons.
Very few for auction every week now, but I see dozens upon dozens in the background of the GP pictures.
Same story with the M105A2’s.
They were almost giving them away not long ago and now it’s a few here and there.
Definitely not cheap...
